    First visit having received gift card for rail bike ride. Booked online. Roughly $68 per person. Rail bike has two seats. Several time options. Selected earlier morning 10 am since temps would be comfortable. The grounds appear family friendly with picnic tables, games, installation of bocce court in progress and looks like putt putt in progress. Gold panning and an overall western type theme. There is a pre ride gathering in which two rail bike guides make sure you know how to use features like power assist and brake. As well as seatbelts and they provide bike helmets but we brought our own. They have a snack bag with waters and chips and stickers. Off and riding as you go in a group with about 8 other rail bikes. Appears most use the electronic assist and we chose to pedal. It was peaceful, you actually cross major street and they use crossing signals and track arms to close off traffic as if we are a real train. Ride is about 7 miles out and back and :60 min. Most of scenery is farm fields. They do a turn around of bikes at 3.5miles. Enjoyable hour. They do have the train options too. It's not about sightseeing but more about being on train tracks.

    So I have been eyeing riding on one of these rail cars for a while. For my husband's recent birthday I booked us a real car for 10 AM on a Monday morning, which happened to be his actual birthday. So I didn't tell him where we were going and we just headed out to West Sac. OK here I need to put a note: be smarter than me and actually look where in West Sacramento this is. It is way out in the country part so it does take a little longer to get there than I thought. Again, learned from my mistake and map it out before you have to go because you do have to be on time otherwise you might miss a ride. also, it's a little odd when you get there to figure out where you need to go. Once we park the car, we wandered around a little bit until we found the place where we needed to check in. Luckily there was only one other person riding on a Monday morning at 10 AM so we were good. Once you get there and check in, they take you down to the rail cars. There you have to wear a helmet, so leave your hats in the car. Otherwise, you might be running after your hat that you put in the basket because it flies away from the strong winds that are out there on the rail I also suggest you don't wear baggy pants like I did, because they can get caught in the pedals. I had to hitch my pants over my knees. They show you how to set the carts so you can either pedal hard or light, or you can even switch it over so you don't have to pedal at all. This is a two person ride. In our case, there was only one other set of riders, so it wasn't a big deal trying to keep distance from each other. This is a beautiful ride on the edge of the river and threw some of the ranches down in that area. Right now in the fall it is so gorgeous, and 10 AM in the morning is perfect. It's not too hot and not too cold. Actually, I would even love to be able to book one of these just by myself because it is so relaxing to just pedal along the trail . But you do have to keep up with the guides and the people around you. I like to lollygag. After about 5 miles you stop for a minute and they turn the cars around and you pedal back. I feel like we're definitely going to do this again.

    Me and my partner did the boba train and it was such an amazing event! It was really cute and nice and they had many different flavors to try from and the boba was fresh. The staff were super friendly and helpful! I would recommend definitely doing it at least once!

    same size sandwich for each table regardless of party size.

    If you had $100 you want to throw away. You can come here. This was, by far, one of the worst afternoon tea experiences in my life. I wouldn't even consider this an afternoon tea tbh. The train ride is 2 hours long. The tea did come until about 40 minutes into the train ride. They have TWO tiny sandwiches for our table of 4 people. The amount of food given is per table and not per person even though you are paying per person. Second came the scones. They gave us all one piece. The sides did not come with clotted cream, only jam. Lastly, they brought us the dessert. One mini cold pie per table. The food is probably worth less than $5 total and we paid $400+. The tea pot is on a tea pot warmer that doesn't fit properly. Truly a lawsuit waiting to happen. The tea pot kept tipping off of the tea pot warmer so we opted out of using the tea pot warmer. They put the afternoon tea tier plate on our table but never used it. The quality feels like it is from Temu. The ride was not very smooth either. Please do not come here for the afternoon tea. You will be super disappointed and scammed.

    I got a post card in the mail with a community event for River Fox Train . It said kids ride free I thought wow that's a good deal . I had been wanting to go on this train for a while now. I figured it would be a good time to attend this one . When it's a community event kids ride free there is a two kids limit. They have a lot of multiple different events that sound really cool as well. When we first arrived to the destination, there was plenty of parking for us to park at. We did a little short walk to the train station to get our boarding passes. The train is huge and very nice. They had one side of the train where they sold snacks and did face painting for about five dollars. My son really enjoyed the face painting. The train offers outside seating and inside you could pretty much walk around. When my son and I sat in the inside, they had a lot of board games.. We had a great time under the AC playing board games for a while. The outside area is really nice. They had a cocktail bar and also a wine bar outside for purchase. The views from the outside is really cool. They had some really nice convenient bathrooms inside as well. Once the train ride was over, they had a nice outside area with picnic tables and a bouncy house for the kiddos . Overall this was a great experience to be in a old train like that . My son and I loved it . I gave it a 4 stars because I heard the workers saying bad words and it was a kids event . They were really nice just not as professional. Small minor thing Ioverall I would definitely go back again...

    Our small tea sandwiches that were served. Not on a tower.

    Jan 3, 2026 My husband and I did the 2p-4p Afternoon Tea. Where do I start. Service: Was bad...very bad. Horrendous. They seem really really young and not sure how to do "service". Service starts from the top. Leadership is lacking. It was chaotic at best. The only person that was safe was the bartender from the beginning to serve Champagne. Food: The website said what was included "tea pot per person, a tower of bites, scones with jam/cream, treat/cakes". We only received 1 pot (which took over an 1hr), scones were served first (bare hands) with barely any jam or clotted cream. We got 1 sandwich cut in 4 small corners, so pathetic. Never received our Tower nor our cakes. Unacceptable for $95pp. We've experienced local Afternoon Tea places in the Bay Area and abroad in Europe. This was by far the worst. Most embarrassing. Thank god we didn't invite our friends, we thought this would be a special day for us. At the end, everyone in our carriage marched over to see the General Mgr., Anthony? He said he was embarrassed for the service we received and will refund everyone. All of our names were taken on a clipboard. We were also asked to come back to make up for the bad experience. I will leave this review until otherwise. For right now, I DO NOT recommend the Afternoon Tea train!!! I recommend the RoyalTEA Garden in Pleasanton for a proper English tea service.

    River Fox is out off the Old River Rd that runs between West Sacramento and Woodland. There's a gravel parking lot and then a little bit of a walk down a dirt and gravel path to the ticket booth where you check in. Definitely not very accessibility friendly. My grandma had a bit of a difficult time keeping her footing just walking from the parking lot to the ticket booth. The booth and train attendants were both very nice and helpful. They even took our family picture in front of the train before we boarded. Boarding the train and navigating the separate train cars was another accessibility issue. You had to be careful where and how you stepped. As an old train, I imagine that their intention is to keep some of the charm, but no one is going to be charmed by a twisted ankle. We had booked the afternoon tea service on the train. They had a booth reserved for us and the attendants directed us to it. There are bathrooms on the train, so that was convenient since we were eating and drinking. The tea service itself was nice. The scones were delicious, and we enjoyed our teas. It was a pretty presentation as well. The sandwiches were just ok. The bread seemed a bit stale. The smoked salmon was the best out of the three. The sweets course was tasty, however, our server didn't seem to know what desserts we were being served. Apparently they rotate in different ones. They also came around to offer champagne and apple cider as add ons which was fun and comes with plastic souvenir champagne flute. We finished our tea and food before the train even took off, however. There was delay in the tracks with the rail bike excursion getting back late. The train ride takes you parallel to the river and the Old River Road. It was nice but not anything new since I take that way to work all the time! This experience overall felt a little bit under polished and overpriced. I think they can make it a really great experience, but it did feel like something was missing. I am glad we tried it and we had a nice time, but I probably wouldn't rush back to do it again and I would not recommend to anyone with mobility challenges.

    Las year my sister and I went with our kids and our mom to the river fox train for the Christmas experience and it was great! As soon as we sat down there were menus with drink and snack options which was great. We also played bingo and the elf assigned to our car was very cheerful and interactive. They even had a guy on a guitar walk around through the cars playing in his guitar singing Christmas songs! We also had a fake snowball fight which the kids loved! However, we did NOT get the same experience this year. -no menu -no bingo -no guitar player -no snowball fight -no so festive elf It's like they decided to take the Christmas magic away this year. It was incredibly boring and when Santa came at the end, it felt rushed. At the end of the train ride, we sat for 5 maybe 10 minutes before we found out we could get off. It felt very disorganized. Also, when we were finally leaving, we were met with someone who was in a grinch costume. My 3 year-old flipped out and was crying and it took the Grinch way too long to walk all the way down to the end of the car and out of sight for us to leave. We were literally holding people back because it was so narrow that no one could get around us. They definitely need to rethink the grinch, amongst all their other changes. It was so disappointing in a complete rip off. Now I know why the Polar express train sells out so far in advance. It seems like they have it together.

    My family did the Fox River Holiday Train last year and it was magical: friendly elves, crafts, bingo with prizes, guitar music, Santa letters, and even a snowball fight. The elves were festive and engaging, the cookies gave the appearance of homemade, and the whole experience was organized and joyful. Last year the experience was 5 stars. This review is for this year because it was the complete opposite. No greeting elves (the car was empty other than guests and I had to ask another guest what the car was called), no crafts, no games, no music, and barely any singing. The website advertised "elvish games" and help writing letters to Santa, but none of that happened. The elf who did sing read off a paper and couldn't be heard throughout the car. The ride was dull and unorganized, and Santa didn't come when we were told to sing to bring him to the car. Even the cookies were just store-bought in plastic wrappers. If you're expecting the magic from last year, this is NOT the same event. Very disappointing, and I hope they bring back the activities that made it special. Everyone was nice but the experience was really lacking. I emailed the company and complained and they provided the attached response. I think this is important because it shows they do not plan to make updates in the future. The "cutting costs" from last year they describe was literally a paper bag reindeer craft, someone on guitar singing carols, a fake snowball fight, bingo game with cheap prizes. The guitarist would be the most expensive cost of the activities they cut. They added a small bounce house to the village and quite a few small snow blowers. However, we paid for a fun festive train ride like last year, not outdoor play. Lastly, they mention in their response to me: "We have done our best to make sure that guests are informed that this is a newly reimagined experience." I received no email or communication about this before hand and see nothing on their Facebook page.

    Dinner for two and a $382 view

    Valentine's Day 2026: So low budget it felt like a scam. I can't believe I spent this much on cold airplane food, bad service, underwhelming views, strange/unprofessional staff, old grungy table cloths, and a train car with extensive water damage. Parts of the wood are literally black from old leaks. I can't believe I ate in there. It took ONE HOUR to get people there drinks. Then the food finally came about 1.5 hours into the 2 hour train ride. The worst part is how much I paid out of my own pocket to get such a tacky, gross, and just plain weird experience. Honestly I feel disrespected at the price I paid. Lots of uncertainty and frustration amongst the guests. You could see it.. On a lighter note, at least we laughed the whole way home at how much of a clown show this operation is. Just WOW...

    This was the first time going and I will say that all the kids ages 8,6,5 & 3 all loved the experience. They had smiles on their faces and were entertained the whole time. It was not as fancy or as organized as some places but the staff were nice and giving it their best. I had low expectations and I my kids love it. Having booze on the train also helped.

    Is it miserable in the summer heat?

    Well u have to think if u go in evening at first it's hot but they have indoor cabins , and then it does get cooler with the delta breeze! I mean it's sac it's hot I summer but still fun

    Are there any vegetarian Or pescatarian options for food?

    The rides are usually themed. Check the website and see if they are offering any food themes. The train ride itself has a car that serves mainly alcohol with small bags of nuts, chips, pretzels, etc.

    Is there food available on the beer train?

    No. There are only snacks in the last car, like chips and candy.

    Can we bring stroller on the Pumpkin Train for the pumpkin patch?

One of us were responsible for handling the electric speed when we weren't pedaling, I believe it was just a lever or a push button, not too fast and not too slow of a speed but just right. This was great to utilize when we needed a break from pedaling, hee. There was also a break lever between us to slow down or stop if needed, great safety option.

Flying in seemed fine, it did take longer than anticipated to get my luggage from baggage claim. We were the only arrival flight and the only baggage claim section, but it took at least 15-20 minutes. Typically when I go to airports the rental car booths are located at the ground level near baggage. Not in Sacramento. It was raining out and there was no real overhang to stay out of the rain. There were at least 40 people in line waiting to get the rental car bus and more behind me and the buses didn't come quickly. One small bus filled up SUPER quickly. This seems pretty inefficient, and with there being elements like rain/snow/etc (I don't know if Sacramento gets snow), they could have thought out the coverage to keep people sheltered from the elements top of mind. When it came time for my departure flight, the TSA line moved relatively quickly. Terminal C was a real letdown. It looks like they're doing lots of renovations, so in time this section will have ample restaurants/kiosks available to grab food/coffee/beverages, but in the meantime there are meger options. So just beware if you're looking to grab something to eat/drink.

    So today I had a flight at 745am on Southwest & we had a party of 4 going to LAX.Ive been seeing…read morethe news and social media telling stories of long lines at security checkpoints due to funding issues-so with that in mind I guess I took some risk by showing up at the airport at 615a. It was going to be interesting because within our party we had 1 person with Clear-1 person with TSA Precheck(myself),& 2 people with just regular security clearance-so let me tell ya how it went. My brother with Clear was the true winner as he only had maybe 2 people in front of him and got thru security in about 5 minutes. I had TSA Precheck and I had pretty good luck-there were a solid number of people in the line with me but I was able to get thru security in about 12 minutes. Now my mother and sister had regular security clearance and they were for sure the least successful in this contest-as they had quite a number of people in the line with them-that being said it only took them about 30 minutes to get thru the security line without any special clearance-not too bad considering the lines that people have had to deal with in airports across the country. In closing-I'd say Sacramento Airport Terminal B is currently handling the current TSA security crisis with ease and maybe just adjust your times just a bit but overall it's pretty good.

    Sacramento Airport's Terminal B has gone through some impressive upgrades, and the experience feels…read morenoticeably elevated from the moment you walk in. The terminal is clean, bright, and airy, with wide walkways that make it easy to move around without feeling crowded. There are plenty of restrooms, and everything feels thoughtfully spaced and well-maintained. If you have time before your flight, the terminal offers several great options to relax. You can enjoy a glass of wine, grab a cocktail, or sit down at one of the local restaurants they've brought into the airport. It adds a nice regional touch and makes the wait feel more enjoyable than the typical airport rush. One of the standout design elements is the beautiful tree‑branch chandelier. It brings an earthy, organic vibe to the modern architecture and gives the space a warm, natural feel. And then... there's the red rabbit. You absolutely cannot miss it. Officially titled "Leap," this massive sculpture by artist Lawrence Argent is the signature landmark of Terminal B. The rabbit is 56 feet long, 19 feet tall, and made of aluminum, suspended from the ceiling by cables that appear almost invisible. As you ride the escalator down to baggage claim, the bright red rabbit looks like it's diving straight into a giant granite suitcase with a carved spiral "portal," symbolizing the start of a journey. Travelers toss coins into the suitcase so often that the airport's accounting team actually collects them weekly -- a quirky tradition that grew completely by accident. Baggage claim is extremely easy to find, and Terminal B isn't overwhelmingly large, which makes arriving here feel smooth and stress‑free. Before you reach the carousels, there's also a small rotating art exhibit featuring local artists, which adds another thoughtful, creative touch to the space. Overall, Terminal B feels modern, organized, and surprisingly artistic. Between the local dining options, the clean layout, and the iconic red rabbit greeting you on arrival, it's one of the more pleasant airport experiences -- especially if you appreciate design and a sense of place woven into your travel day.
