If your kids love trains, then this is a Must-do on your entertainment list. Once you enter the massive areal of the Light Railway Park, your kids can enjoy endless green lawns, gigantic grass animals, and of course unlimited train rides the entire day! One train ride lasts approximately 7 minutes and takes you on a 760m journey within the train park (including some tunnel fun).

Jump onboard one of their trains at Park Station and experience a locally designed and built miniature railway. Steam trains will haul passengers between 11.00 – 15.00 on a Saturday and Sunday. The two electric engines, Dozer and Fritz, are running when the steam trains are off duty.

The lawns are super inviting for a picnic. So don’t forget to pack a picnic blanket and lots of yummy treats and sunscreen to last throughout the day. When the kids are tired of riding the train, they can play at the jungle gym and super cute sand pit which is shaded and equipped like a real little kitchen.

Alcohol or braais are not permitted but their kiosk is open every operating day and will provide you with a variety of snacks and refreshments to choose from including coffee, milkshakes and slushies. There is also a food truck, Aniseed, which can provide you with a selection of food items including hot dogs, burgers and chips on Saturdays, Sundays, and Public Holidays.

Children are invited to bring their bicycles and scooters for added fun, and the venue welcomes pets as long as they are kept on a leash at all times.

The park is open every weekend (Saturday and Sunday), long weekends and public holidays from 09:00 to 16:30. It’s also open daily during the public school holidays from 09:00 to 16:30. Weather dependent.

The entrance fee is R90 per person with access to the park & one complimentary train ride. If you want unlimited train rides for the kids, then it’s R145 per person. Tickets are sold directly at the entrance of the park. Card facilities are available. Tickets and train rides are non-transferable.
