The Hermann Park Railroad has brought hours of fun for children and adults since it opened in 1958. The miniature train takes visitors on a 14-minute journey around the park for a very reasonable price. You also have the option of buying a day ticket, which allows unlimited rides all day long. Trains leave Kinder Station every 20-25 minutes and you can join the ride at any stop along the way. One of the stops is at the MD Anderson Train Station, which is located just across the road from the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The train operates every day of the week and rides are free for members of the Hermann Park Conservatory.
