Skunk Train: Days of Steam + California Academy of Sciences
The Skunk Train: Days of Steam + California Academy of Sciences package combines natural beauty and hands-on learning for a perfect family adventure.
Start your day in Fort Bragg aboard the Skunk Train’s steam-powered Chiggen. This heritage locomotive pulls vintage coaches along the Pudding Creek Estuary for a 7-mile round trip. The journey passes through wetlands alive with herons and egrets, into the towering redwoods, and stops at Glen Blair Junction for photos and exploration. It’s a rare chance to experience the golden age of steam while surrounded by California’s natural splendor.
Next, explore the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. This renowned institution blends science and wonder under one roof, with a four-story rainforest, the Steinhart Aquarium, Morrison Planetarium, and engaging natural history exhibits. Both kids and adults will find something inspiring, from coral reefs to the cosmos.
This package showcases California from two angles: the living natural world in Mendocino’s redwoods and the global perspective of a premier science museum.
