Kids 'n' Trains Pacific Surfliner

Kids in grades K-12 (ages 5 through 18) and adult chaperones travel at the same low price for travel one-way or round-trip in the same day. If travel is round-trip and the return is not on the same day, the fare is doubled. Additional discounts do not apply for kids and adults. The rates are valid for schools and youth groups only.

Parents traveling with children under the age of five (5) are not considered as part of the group reservation. Please do not include them in your passenger count when completing your Kid-n-Trains group reservation form. Parents traveling with children under the age of five (5) must make a separate reservation at regular rates on Amtrak.com or by calling 1-800-872-7245.
