Trains, Carousels and Trick or Treating at Goblyn's Glen

This summer I wrote my ode to the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad at Oak Meadow Park in Los Gatos. The boys love riding the train on weekends. Over the last two months we have taken a break from the park, mainly because my husband and I were getting a little tired of it.

However, now that it is Fall we decided to take the boys to the Goblyn's Glen at Oak Meadow Park. The festivities kick off at 7 pm on Friday's and Saturdays, and 6 pm on Sunday's. We started off with the moonlit train ride through Oak Meadow and Vasona Park. Afterward we road the Bill Mason Carousel, and then went trick or treating in the Goblyn's Glen haunted house.

We have finally reached an age where the boys enjoyed it, and weren't too scared. By giving the kids trick or treat bags, it made the witches, vampires and monsters far less scary. Xander said "I wasn't scared at all mommy." Caleb got scared a couple of times when someone would jump out at him, but he handled it by asking, "What's your name?"

They were also great about the amount of candy and kept it to a minimum. The kids also got stickers, spider rings, a pumpkin, and balloon. This is a good thing, since Caleb managed to eat all his candy by the time we got home. 

It costs $2 to ride the train, and $8 for the Carousel and haunted house. Well worth it. If you want to take your kids it runs through October 31.
