Amazing place. My boys loved it here. The trains and museum are really interesting. You can ride the steam train too. The have lots of events throughout the year. The staff are really helpful too. Martin went out of his way to show us some stuff and gave us extra information, brilliant. We'll definitely visit again.
This railway museum is run like a well oiled machine for events both big and small. The site is pleasantly spaced out with many helpful vantage point for photos and film and and cafe is exceptionally good value for the quality and size of meal. I’d suggest this place to locals and faraway visitors alike; it’s even doable from London as a day out.
Great not so little museum! Kept my two boys 3 and 1.5y busy for most of the day! Highly recommended, especially if you could visit on one of the steam days. We will certainly be back soon!Visited onPublic holidayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
What a wonderful museum. Called in here on the off chance, and spent a good couple of hours wandering round the exhibits followed by refreshments on site at the super cafe. A very friendly and warm welcome was given by all. Highly recommended! Thank you Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Fantastic place to visit I visited on Saturday 19/2/22 got there about 10 it was great fun for the family of all ages. Plenty to see touch go inside etc get that real feel of stepping back in time in the old carriages . I would highly recommend
Great experience with the Thomas Day Out. Son was absolutely over the moon to see and ride Thomas, Percy and Daisy. Staff was brilliant and very helpful. The place also offers re enactments, a little park for small kids, a play area with lots of tracks for kids to play, a double decker bus kids can go in and a miniature railway to ride. All inclusive in the price.
Very nice railway is worth a visit if they are doing an event. My son loved the Thomas the tank engine day they did. Friendly people a little play park a nice cafe on an old train carriage. Very nice model railways.
A few interesting things to see from a non train enthusiast prospective, but my 3 year old son loved it. Visited on a standard admission day on a Wednesday, so only small number of visitors. Tickets were sold out for the Thomas day. Spent most of the day there. Old signal box which was quite cool, pulling the old levers. Watched them shunting trucks about using a diesel engine. Looked around the restoration shed where Thomas and Percy where currently being stored. Explored some old carriages and a few rooms. Also big grass field for a picnic although not many benches. Old London bus you can sit on. Small model railway to look at. Also a small miniature railway, although this was closed. Small playground with a train. Decent toilet facilities on site. The cafe seemed closed when we visited. Small shop on site too.
Visited here for the CAMRA beer festivals, Thomas the Tank Engine days and general visits. It has always been a great experience and continues to grow/improve. Lovely peaceful site to explore, lots to see on steam days and plenty of friendly volunteer staff helping it all run smoothly. Highly recommend to families and train enthusiasts.
Great bit of fun for the toddler on the special Thomas day, there was 4 of the characters with unlimited rides all day. Plenty of toilets and places to eat. Little one also loved the park, double decker bus and mini railway.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
