Our open days

Both steam trains and the Model T Ford railcar operate on days throughout the year. Some running days are special events including Steam & Crafts at Labour Weekend, Kiwi the Engine and Friends at Easter and the Get to the Point street fair on the first Saturday in November.

At times Model T Ford railcar runs on its own, with the driver giving a special 45-minute conducted tour around the site. Railcar-only days are listed separately from the main running day timetable.

ADMISSION:

Family: $35
Adult: $12
