About this activity

Lakeside Miniature Railway offers families a captivating and enchanting experience that's filled with a delightful array of activities, making it a perfect destination for a day out. From the moment families step foot onto the picturesque grounds, they're greeted with a sense of nostalgia and wonder that's bound to create lasting memories.

The main attraction, of course, is the miniature railway itself. As families step aboard the charmingly designed steam or diesel locomotives, a feeling of excitement courses through both young and old alike. The trains traverse a scenic route that meanders alongside the glistening waters of the lake, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. It's not just a train ride; it's a journey through a landscape that seems plucked straight from a storybook.

Kids, in particular, are enchanted by the sights and sounds of the train, feeling the thrill as it chugs along the tracks. Their imaginations run wild, sparked by the rhythmic clatter of the wheels, the gentle hiss of steam, and the cheerful toots of the train's whistle. Parents can see the joy in their children's eyes, as each twist and turn reveals new vistas, and every bridge crossed is a mini-adventure in itself.

Throughout the ride, families can soak in the stunning views of the lake. It's a serene oasis, and the gentle breeze carries the soothing scent of the water. The lake is also home to various waterfowl, providing an opportunity for families to engage in some impromptu bird-watching. Kids can get a thrill spotting ducks, swans, and maybe even some playful geese as they skim the water's surface.

As the train makes its way back to the station, families disembark with smiles on their faces, but the fun doesn't end there. The Lakeside Miniature Railway has even more in store to keep families entertained.
