Why take the Pacific Surfliner?

 

The Pacific Surfliner has everything you need for a great trip. There are daily trains connecting the Ventura County Fairgrounds from San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties.

Here are some of our favorite reasons to travel by train:

  • No need for pit stops – we have snacks and restrooms on board
  • Cruise past traffic and enjoy ocean views instead of tail lights
  • Have the freedom to get out of your seat
  • Snacks and drinks for the whole family. Bring your own or purchase them from our onboard Market Café.
  • No need to worry about parking at the Strawberry Festival or finding your car after.
