Eda Mccormick Park

This is a nice park for bringing the kids because of the train rides and playground. Train rides are affordable at$3 per person and the wait in line isn’t very long. Kids under two ride free. Fairly large area with playground and grassy area for kids to play and run around. It does get busy with lots of people though.

ADORABLE & HISTORIC! I've never been more wow'd at a local park than I've been here at McCormick-Stillman. The history, atmosphere, and train culture were very healing for me. I needed a day in the park and this place reset my spirit. I enjoyed getting to tour ACTUAL train cars and cabins! The trains are beautiful, you get the feel of the old Western Railway life. I went during Winter Break and there was tons of kids. None of them were annoying and they kept to themselves. I LOVED seeing families enjoy themselves and admiring the trains around them. I came with my parents as we heard wonderful things about this park. We drew closer with this experience, we even had a few snacks and chat on a park bench. The park was very grounding for us. My Mom spotted a art display where patrons can add their names as a momento, I think you can add your name for a price! McCormick Stillman has clean restrooms, a gift shop, playgrounds, two indoor play spaces, a small train ride, and a concession/snack store. Some of the staff were god awful at their jobs (rude, checked-out, or grumpy) but not even they could mess up the experience for me. I'm looking at you older Caucasian lady at the last train car and mini-museum, please check your face. Lol. Overall, this park is EXCELLENT. It’s huge and there’s tons to do for families. Even us adults had plenty to do, this is a very educational environment. Note: Parking is FREE!

This park is a "must visit" place in Scottsdale, especially if you have kids. Part park and part museum, it is very clean with something to offer all ages. An interactive building with miniature railroads was my highlight, with a lot of great detail. Buttons allow observers to activate trains and display details. There is several real train cars to walk through, as well as a small train to actually ride. Even more for the kids at the large park section with toys. There is a snack bar building as well as museum store available too. Parking is plentiful.

Nice place to visit. They have several different buildings to explore. The one with the miniature train sets is free and quiet expansive. The grounds are well kept and they have several areas for kids to play along with a small locomotive to take a ride on. Overall a wonderful place to go with large trees, benches, and beautiful shade.

I completely forgot to post my review last christmas. Me and my family went during christmas time and it was so beautiful. I can say it was a magical time especially with the music and reasonable food prices. We mustve rode the train 100times that night. We will be there again this year!!! Highly recommend
