This was a fantastic experience. When you first arrive, it’s not immediately obvious that the museum is more than a couple of trains. But, when you go outside it’s clear that the museum is absolutely huge and full of loads of different types of trains, with plenty of buildings to look at. There’s something for everyone here, including a steam train that you can ride on, and a miniature railway which was absolutely charming. The food is pretty good too. The price of the tickets is definitely worth it. I’d recommend this for any railway enthusiasts!

Really good day out and the Children loved it. Amazing museum to walk around. Children enjoyed meeting the train drivers. The only slight down side was the train journey was very short. I'm sure it was longer when I was a child.

There is so, SO much to see and do here! What we especially appreciated was being able to walk around, take photographs and explore without being kept away from everything behind barriers as is too often the case with heritage railway sites. Obviously it is incumbent upon the visitor to be sensible, careful and respectful but it was great to be able to explore the vast site!

We regularly visit the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre. My 2 year old loves the place (as do I). The events are generally worth visiting, we went when there was a steam rally.

We went as an impulsive trip to the railway centre and we were absolutely blown away. They were holding a steam weekend, so we were expecting it to be busy. However, it was so well organised that despite the amount of people in attendance it was a really nice experience. It is spread over a large area and nowhere felt overcrowded or busy. There was a lot to see and do, and my 3 year old had the time of his life. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough. There were rides on steam trains, miniature railways, steam engines. It was fantastic.

This is an amazing place to bring your children. My little girl loved her ride on the steam train. Meeting Chase and Sky from Paw Patrol was an additional treat for her. I enjoyed seeing the trains and station platforms as well as all the historic memorabilia. We highly recommend visiting here. Can't wait to go back next month for the Thomas event, we're even planning going to Xmas event with some family members. The Thomas Day Out was amazing, my little girl loved it she was so excited to see Thomas and Percy. Thank you so much for creating such a magical day out.

Decided to go here for an afternoon out as they advertised dinosaurs, and my daughter loves dinosaurs. Plenty of parking Plenty of picnic areas Prices in the cafe seemed okay, although we only had ice cream. Staff were all friendly enough Toilets dotted about which were clean From what I could see, it is disabled friendly with the majority of areas being flat and a wheel chair lift at one of the bridges. The place itself has plenty to see but not a great deal to do. The miniature train ride was nice for little ones. The big steam train doesn't go very far up the track, but it is an experience if not experienced previously. The dinosaur meet wasn't very well organised, and the dinosaur training didn't seem to happen whilst we were there (1:45-close). but it was nice that they allowed the time for photos to be taken with anyone who wanted one. I saw another visitor complaining to the manager about something. I agree that everyone has the right to complain, but the visitor was very rude. The manager was very calm and tried to reason with the visitor. After a little while, he asked the visitor to stop and walk away. He then walked away himself. He handled the situation well when others would have had the visitor kicked out. Well done for keeping composure and letting a grumpy man go about his day. Another bigger playarea, cheaper child's tickets, and some shaded seating would be a nice improvement. All in all, I'd say it's worth a visit and makes a nice day/afternoon out.

Visited on a Bank Holiday, while a Rallye was in full swing. A good place to visit with many attractions to see. The station contains a well stocked shop, a lovely cafe with both indoor/outdoor seating and exhibits to sit amongst. In my opinion the entry price is a little high, but I understand this goes towards the upkeep of the buildings and exhibits. Lovely coffee, good sausage rolls and okay sandwiches. Large steam locomotives, smaller ride-on and garden railways with a viewing platform for children to watch the smaller engines whizzing around the tracks. Go and visit to keep this place alive. It needs volunteers and members if you fancy becoming part of something with much history, lovely people and having some fun at the weekend, (or weekday if you have some time)!

Quite a hidden gem but it’s hard to work out when it’s open or not! Their information on Google was wrong as compared to what is on their website. I would definitely recommend visiting their website. You can also only access the museum via Quainton as the road is currently closed. I think this stopped many people getting there. HOWEVER when you arrive it is very well put together for somewhere that is clearly ran by very enthusiastic volunteers. There is plenty going on for children and the exhibitions are very well organised and interesting.

If I could give 6 stars I would. Brilliant sunny day. Lots to see and do and Peppa Pig made an appearance too. Loved the variety of train rides.

My son loves visiting here. There's a shop, cafe with food. Brio style trains for kids to play with. Carriages to explore. A steam train to ride (although is a very short journey a few hundred metres up the track and back. A miniature railway to ride. A museum. Themed events.

Fantastic day out for all ages. Staff extremely friendly and full of knowledge. Cafe was really nice and not too expensive. Would definitely like to visit again.

Been here twice now, once for Thomas day and once for a normal steam day. Neither disappointed.One small boy awed by big machinery and engines, played for an hour with train sets in the visitor centre, unlimited rides and a great miniature railway. The Thomas day was amazing with so much to do and on the normal steam day we stayed almost 6 hours without getting bored.

Excellent experience. We came here for a Thomas the Tank Engine day and it was brilliant (3 adults and 2 children). Life size Thomas and Percy that you ca ride. There was a museum with history about trains and the railways. It had some food stalls and café. It also has a nice picnic area and a mini railway ride as well. I would recommend. Very good. Thomas is only on Thomas the Tank engine days!

If you are into Railways and Railway history you will enjoy this. Kids enjoyed the short ride on the steam train as well as the miniature Railway ride. Didn't see it mentioned on the website but costs £1.50 each extra. Overall a good day out with the grandkids.

A good day out that kept a 4 year old plenty interested. There is lots of history to see and it isn't too widely separated. However, the site is rather haphazardly laid out and restored though all the paths, buildings and bridges are very well maintained. Needs a good project manager! The food was not nice, though not expensive, and I'd recommend bringing your own. There are plenty of picnic tables around the site. The coffee was good though!

Great visit with tons of info on the old local railways and much more. Some interactive stuff for the kids. All in, a very worthwhile trip.

Came for Thomas. Paid for queues. Over crowded. Spent most of the time in lines. Very limited on offer. A parent's nightmare. Queues for the centrepiece -Thomas- will take an hour. There are queues for the little steam train (20-minute queuing time). There are queues for the teacup ride. There are even huge queues for the ice cream van. It really feels like they are charging a lot for the tickets, yet offer very little for it. When we did get on the trains, it was great (hence the 3 stars). The museum was interesting, but a lot of 'keep off' and 'no climbing' signs. Not the most hands-on, interactive displays you'd want for young kids. I'd come back here but not during school holidays.

I wanted to take my little girl to the Thomas the tank engine day. Everyone was so kind and lovely. From the very start everyone working there was making the effort. Facilities are clean and it's a nice place. Special thank you to the lady in the gift shop. My little girl wasn't feeling so well so we had to leave early, we didn't get to go on the train. This kind amazing lady gave her two stickers, ran out to me in the car park as I was about to leave and carried my tickets on for tomorrow if my girl is feeling up to it. Never had that happen before. It's a good place to visit with kids and the people are just really kind. Amazing. Definitely going back.

Nice day out with the family. We enjoyed the steam train ride however it was very short! The queue was large as we went during the school holidays. The small museum was nice however there wasn’t much to look at. There was a small steam train ride for £1.50 each which we also tried. The admission ticket cost £12 per adult and there was an offer for children for £1 over the summer break which we used. I would say even the adult ticket price is a bit much considering there isn’t much to look at or do other than the steam train.

An interesting meeting of the underground (Metropolitan) and the Great Central Railway. A nice cafe and museum and a chance for a short ride on a steam train. Also today (Bank holiday special) many old cars, buses etc

A fantastic last minute day out with the highlights being a trip on the steam train (complete with first class booth) and the miniature railway. The museum section is very interesting but note this isn’t restricted to indoors. There are more areas to explore outside - today we spent time in the Royal Mail sorting carriage learning about how mail was transported and sorted on the railways. A very interesting session, thanks to the volunteers for their time going through everything. There were also some vintage cars on display today, and we were lucky enough to have a Lancaster flyover (pure chance) to end our visit. The cafe does a decent selection of drinks and food for those who need it and there is also a gift shop on the way in/out.

We haven't been to the Bucks Railway Centre for a couple of years at least, on a steaming day in the summer holidays kids get in for £1 so it makes it much more reasonable. Kids under 3 are free, adults are £12.50 You can take a picnic and there is a cafe too selling hot and cold drinks and food. Have a ride on a steam train (no limit on how many times), there's a cinema on a train carriage within the main building, there are miniature trains in various places which you can watch whizzing around the track. You can ride on the miniature railway too, for an extra £1.50 per person (under 3s free) *top tip* put your feet on the ground to get on and off, not on the foot rests on the side of the train, otherwise you tip it over nearly, like I did! The staff are very friendly, a lot of the people there are volunteers so it's a nice thing to support. We'll be back, my 2 year old hasn't had a lot of experience with trains and she was pretty impressed.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre Station for a unique wedding celebration. I was truly impressed by the array of vintage locomotives and carriages on display. The station itself was like stepping back in time. It felt like a true museum, showcasing some of the oldest and most remarkable trains in the world. I would highly recommend a visit to the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre Station for anyone interested in trains, history, or looking for a unique venue for a special event.
