Thankfully, all of the recent Griffith Park fires haven't impacted the locale's kid-friendly attractions (although this most recent one came close to Travel Town).
We frequently find ourselves at Travel Town, where a ride on the mini train around the attraction is standard. But to tell you the truth, the Griffith Park & Southern Railroad, located in the south part of the park (near the Los Feliz entrance) offers the better ride.
Both are operated by the same entity... but while the Travel Town locomotive just does a simple two loops around the attraction, the Griffith Park & Southern takes a more scenic track -- going over a bridge, passing by two crossings, looping past the busy street and going by a few simply constructed town facades.
A few pics from our recent visit:
The Griffith Park train has been in operation for 50 years. It's open at 10 a.m. virtually every day; tickets are $2.50 each (babies under 19 months are free).
