Like many children, my son loves trains.
This past weekend, we bought the weekend passes on Metrolink, took the train down to the San Clemente Pier and had brunch, got on and came back in time for a nap. It's $10 for a weekend pass per adult. The pass is good for one day either Saturday or Sunday. A little enjoy for our son riding the train and a whole lot less hassle trying to drive the 5 and park.
This coming weekend, we're thinking about heading down to San Juan Capistrano and hitting the petting zoo and brunch, they're within walking distance of the SJC Metrolink stop.
I haven't researched the other stops, but the Santa Ana doesn't have much near it. The Orange stop is a two block (old small city block) walk to Chapman circle in Old Towne.
Oceanside supposedly is a stop near their old downtown area with shops and cafes.
Heading north, not sure what's available in walking distance until LA Union Station and the the metro-line runs to Expo park, etc. The Amtrak, being much expensive will run all the way down to San Deigo where a bus will take you straight to the zoo or Sea World.
Anybody else seasons weekend train riders to activities?
