Came here for a morning to keep the kids entertained. They loved the train rides and the different play areas. Also the walk round the lake knackered them right out. Would return, staff were really friendly and food was good.

This is a great day out for the family. Not much really for two allow the park was lovely & clean & well presented. There is also ample car parking. Myself & my partner enjoyed the miniature steam railway. I recomend this place to anyone with small children.

We were so excited to go as we love trains, but it was a huge disappointment when we arrived.
It’s a good place for little children to run around and play and they will enjoy the mini train ride for sure!
As for us just a couple, we felt so awkward as everyone else was with kids and there was us, the only couple walking around the place, which is more like a big kids playground.
The place should definitely advertise that this is more kids entertainment and not really for adults!
We thought it would be more like a museum with more mini train models etc!

This is a fantastic place for a family visit. We have been living in Eastbourne for ages but never thought of going there. However we have now taken our grandchildren and they love it. There are two good playgrounds,a nice cafe for a snack/light lunch and of course the railway!

I took my granddaughter to the minature steam railway for a day out and we both had a really wonderful time, plenty to see, lovely countryside views and plenty of 'rest areas' with eating facilities as well.

The miniature railway with its own nature reserve on the marshes is right in the heart of Eastbourne while being right in the heart of the country. Lovely café serving hot and cold drinks, cakes and snacks.

A great day out for my grandson. A chance for him to experience the Age of Steam. The chance of unlimited rides around a track, featuring a lake ,tunnel, bridge.
The Park has a café and a small recreation area.
A pleasant walk around the site. It even has a maze.
Easily spend a pleasant morning or afternoon.
I thought it good value.

I have annual passes for both myself and my young Grandson. It is our go to place and through the season we visit at least twice a month. There are amazing miniature engines pulling sit astride carriages around the park. There is a beautiful lake with ducks and geese, a well equipped play area, model train exhibition and cafe. The entrance fee is very reasonable, the facilities very good and the staff friendly and helpful.

Great place to let your kids run around like nutters.
So they crash when they get home , always clean and well maintained friendly staff.
The kids are always happy to just go off and play as it is safe and secure nice selection of foods to snacks to hot food nice coffee and hot chocolate.
A walk around the lake is always a nice finishing touch to the end of the day and don't forget to have a train ride great for kids and adults.

I brought a young child here, who absolutely loves trains. He was so excited when I told him where we were going and it exceeded our expectations.
We bought an unlimited ride pass.
The staff were friendly and helpful, the place was clearly well-kept and clean. It had a very welcoming atmosphere. The playground was great with a separate area for smaller children. We walked around several times; encountered ducks, Canada geese with goslings & fish.
In the middle there is an angling lake and the anglers were all very friendly too and happy to chat with my young companion.
We went on approximately 6 miniature train rides and my young companion loved every minute of his day there.
We brought a picnic with us, but you can also buy food there.
A great day out and I would highly recommend this place, especially if your child LOVES trains!
I was especially taken with the indoor miniature trains (bring 20p coins or wait for someone else to put some in).

Enjoyed a lovely day at Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway with our family.
Opting for unlimited rides on the steam train was well worth the money.
The park is lovely, with plenty to do for the children. They loved the steam train, and watching the driver fuel the train with coal between rides. They also enjoyed all the attractions there involving trains, like
watching Thomas and Percy puffing round on the smaller track and also playing with the little trains set up on the bigjigs table, which was fun.
The slides and climbing frames were suitable for both tots and older children, and as the miniature train passed by the park, the children loved to wave to the passengers on board.
The highlight of the train ride was going through the tunnel!
Refreshments are available, including ice creams, and at the shop toy trains and accessories for train sets can be purchased - Ideal for birthday or Christmas presents!
This is one of Eastbourne’s little treasures, so keep supporting this unique attraction, so the trains keep puffing and the park attractions are maintained, and so many more families can enjoy this great little venue.
We will be back for sure! 😃 🚂

We visited today with our 2 daughters age 8 and 12. There is something for everyone here, riding on the train was so much fun, and hardly any wait for them either. We went on 4 times! The walk around the grounds was lovely, a great adventure playground and a fun (very muddy) maze! The staff were lovely and friendly, and there was also lots of warnings about the mud which meant we could change into our wellies before getting too far into the park. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

A great day out for young children and the young @ heart. Who doesn't enjoy a walk around a lake and a few rides astride a minuture steam engine. Great play park, more to do en route and although you can bring a pack up, the cafe serves lovely cream teas and prices are reasonable. Best to buy unlimited train rides on entry as once is not enough!

Really good except that the play area furthest from the cafe should have a proper fence by the water when there are young children around
