    Nice place to bring your kids. Then you can ride the rail road in the canyon. It's has great views of Niles Canyon. They have Ho and N gauge models inside, my father Jonesy help build some parts of the layout. Their is all sorts of older things inside like telegraph and type writer. They have a old map of where Southern Pacific used to go.

    It's an interesting place to see a lot about trains and see model train rails with children.

    A fun place to visit with the kids on a Sunday. They have steam and Diesel engines. It's a short ride but a great little canyon run. The train has a snack car with hot dogsbl if you don't have a sack lunch. There is a small town when the train stops as well. There is also a small museum in Niles inclusion a model RR club house. If you or the kids are into trains, this is a nice hidden little stop.

    Very interesting place. Feels like old East Coast town. With a market place and a trail road.

    Hot August Niles carshow. This year, they had 400 plus vehicles and a lot more people than last year. The music was not as good as usual, and they did have a parking lot for visitors where they charged $20 per vehicle, but one can park on the streets for free and the walk is not too far from the event. They have public bathrooms and portables. I recommend the people it friendly and the firefighters are there cooking hotdogs. Have fun if you go next year! Thankfully, everyone was safe.
