Railways aren’t really used for transportation much anymore, but they still retain the magic of the days when they were THE way to get from point A to point B. The sights of the landscape flying past in a blur, the sounds of the wheels rolling against the metal rails of the track, and the occasional mournful wail of its siren announcing the arrival at railroad crossings—the entire experience is filled with romance and charm, and if you and your family want to get a deeper understanding of its appeal, the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, located at 7301 E Indian Bend Road, will bring the magic back to life! Train lovers of all ages will love the excitement found at this unique park, and when you head to bed in your I Love Scottsdale comfortable sanctuary after a long day of play, dreams of the beautiful carousel will fill your night.

The McCormick Ranch, owned and developed by John D. Rockefeller’s last grandson, Fowler McCormick, was a sprawling one that spread out over seven square miles of prime Scottsdale land, although today most of it has been converted to homes. McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park is the exception, enjoying an opening day in October of 1975 and bringing many decades of fun to residents and visitors from all over the world
