About Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum
Welcome to the Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum, a unique 7.5" gauge miniature railway experience nestled in the heart of Griffith Park. The site includes the Walt Disney Carolwood Barn and offers public rides on Sundays, weather permitting. This venue blends historic miniature railroading with family-friendly activities, accessible parking, and convenient transit options, making it a great outing for locals and visitors alike.
We’ve got you covered with essential details to help plan your visit: seating information, parking and transportation options, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations. Whether you’re here for a casual Sunday ride or one of the park’s seasonal events, we’ll help you secure tickets and plan your day with ease.
Public rides occur Sundays from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, weather permitting. A suggested donation of the best available price per person helps support the museum’s operations. Riders must meet height and weight guidelines (at least 34 inches tall and under 350 pounds). Handicapped riders may transfer to a straddle-type car; infants and animals are not permitted on rides. Passenger cars feature bench-style seating, though there isn’t a published seating chart. The museum hosts notable events like the Spring Meet (Memorial Day weekend) and the Fall Meet (last weekend of October), in addition to various charity programs.
Parking is ample and free in Griffith Park lots, with Travel Town nearby. The site sits within Griffith Park with accessible transit options via Los Angeles public transit for park access.
