Good experience for your kids and even my family enjoyed the ride. It was a nice ride with scenic views and views of fun activities for families to do after all around the Halswell miniature trains. It Was a great experience well worth the visit. We stopped for a quick snack/ potty break at a rest station and were back off about 10 minutes later. We will be going back and will bring some friends next time! If your kids like trains, this would definitely put a smile on their face. Staff and everyone in the route was friendly. Mini train rides are usually short, consisting of a small loop, not this one. The whole ride was almost an hour including a stop and mid point for snacks for purchase. Very relaxing and beautiful ride, and the park was clean too! . The scenery was great and the trains were well maintained. Totally worth it.
We adore the Halswell Miniature Trains.nIt is perfect for a fun family afternoon out. And affordable too!nThe trains are run by volunteers who are always so friendly and helpful.nThere are boats here too now and a playground for the children to enjoy.nHighly recommend this to anyone looking for something fun to do with the children
I was incredibly impressed with such a smooth operation. Purchasing a ticket, lining up, taking the train, and enjoying the ride itself was a pleasure, not only for me but also for my daughter. I initially thought it would be a one-off experience, but collectively, we've decided to come back here again and have a picnic at some point during the summer. The drivers have so much enthusiasm towards their Sunday hobby, and it's infectious.
I'm one of the train drivers and the public will and do get a fabulous ride on some very classy locomotives
Miniature train rides don’t get any better than this!nnWatch videos with volume up to enjoy the sounds of a real steam locos in full steam, as well as authentic track sounds.nnThanks to Halswell Miniature Trains C.S.M.E.E. for a wonderful event. Always an enjoyable day out there. Today was another reminder why this is our favourite attraction at Christchurch and why we take all our visitor friends and family here.
