    This place is a treasure hiding in plain sight in Box Hill! I must have passed it so many times over the years and never noticed it. As a family man it's something I knew my son would love and he had a great time. The staff were all lovely, had a good chat whole waiting to depart and shared a few jokes. The setup is pretty cool and is like a miniature scenic route. The ride lasted 9 mins which for the price we paid is dirt cheap, so great value for money. They have a few different types of trains there too which makes it fun for the kids to see them all. Parking was pretty easy even when busy, just go around the back and there's plenty of space. They're located right next to Elgar Oval so I got to take my son for a run around there afterwards. If you've got a young family and live in the South East then this is a must do.

    It was magical! Such a wonderful place for kids and adults! The volunteers that run and care for the trains are just gorgeous… we’re absolutely lucky to have one closer to the city.

    Very poorly run. You want a good experience go to Eltham. Waiting in platform 2 for more than 30 mins whilst trains keep going to platform 1. Why? Oh, its a mistake!

    What a wonderful day out. The volunteers are very helpful and keen to share their knowledge. Such of lot of hard work has been put into this "little" station. Thank you for a great experience.

    Great fun for your kids. Volunteers are all great. Wish it was open more than once a month. Go after lunch for a much shorter (or empty) queue.

    Love it! Fantastic! Incredible experience, kids having a blast, volunteers are top notch! Only thing I'd like to see is a mini mini railway (like model trains or mini museum type thing) great playground, lots of shade, maybe one or two more bins needed and another fountain but that's more council work than anything else!

  • 5/5 Michael H. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing, the queue looked long but they are so efficient it was a 5min wait. Much longer than it looks, my son loved it! Great, friendly volunteers. Will be going every month now.

    Great day out with toddlers. Incredibly busy so expect to wait for tickets and rides.
