Whangarei Steam and Model Railway Club

What an amazing find! We found this Whangarei attraction which is apparently only open 1 day per month!? Incredible, ride-on and ride-in, volunteer run, multiple small railway engines and passenger 'carriages', including coal-fired steam. Track layouts are audacious and scenic. Both children and adults loved it. $2.50 a ride. I don't understand why this is not more often reviewed nor better advertised!

Lovely day with the fam, first time for our 10 months old bub, absolutely loved it. Affordable, inspiring to experience the results of dedicated club members creating such lovely tracks, surrounds and well-maintained trains, trams, jiggers and tractors! There was a coffee van. Bring snacks and a picnic

Long queues for rides but the weather was beautiful so the whole of Northland was thereVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Steam train, tram and jiggers were running on Sunday. A very busy day. Next train day is 19th June.

Pretty short track but the kids loved it. The higher through the bush was the best. Wish we'd known the smaller tanks were right there too. We'd have done both.

Cool Watching everybody having fun on the train. Power wheelchair friendly but not on the train haha. #LightTheWorld #givethanks

Absolutely wonderful, perfect for children and adults

Love the trains! Think I love riding them more than my grandsons do!
