Skunk Train: Days of Steam + Museum of 3D Illusions


The Skunk Train: Days of Steam + Museum of 3D Illusions package is a journey through both history and imagination, offering a California experience full of variety.

Begin at the Fort Bragg depot, where the Skunk Train’s restored Chiggen steam locomotive awaits. Built in 1909, this authentic steam engine pulls historic passenger cars through the Pudding Creek Estuary and into Mendocino’s redwood forest. The round-trip lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes, including a stop at Glen Blair Junction. Here, guests can stretch their legs, take photos, and admire the beauty of the redwoods.

From the hissing steam engine to the scent of redwood trees, the ride delivers an immersive step back in time. Families, history buffs, and train enthusiasts alike will enjoy the sights, narration, and chance to ride one of the few steam locomotives still operating today.

Afterward, shift from vintage charm to modern play at the Museum of 3D Illusions in San Francisco. This interactive museum invites you to step into hand-painted murals and become part of the art. Pose as though you’re surfing giant waves, scaling skyscrapers, or flying through space—the illusions make for fun, photo-worthy memories.

Together, these two attractions offer a unique California adventure: timeless natural beauty paired with interactive city fun.
