Summer Fun at the Irvine Park Railroad

Get up! Get out! And Go Have Some Summer Fun! 

The Irvine Park Railroad, located inside the historical Irvine Park in Orange California is one of my favorite places to visit in Southern California. So much so, that we go for every holiday and plenty of family fun days in between. This post is sponsored, all opinions are my own.

One of the most important ways I keep my sanity is by staying busy. During the summer when our days are less restricted we like to go fun places to do fun things.

The Irvine Park Railroad is at the top of our list of fun places to go during the summer. You can pack up and stay at the Irvine Regional Park for the entire day. There is so much to do!

Whenever we visit the Irvine Regional Park we absolute have to ride the Irvine Park Railroad Train. It’s a must! The kids have also really come to love feeding the ducks at the lake in the last few years. We usually pack a picnic lunch and eat lakeside. My favorite thing about the Irvine Regional Park and the Irvine Park Railroad is all of the genuinely beautiful picture taking opportunities. And the memory making. Oh all the memories.
