Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway
Latest Reviews
It's only good for Young children, not a lot for older children or adults. The coffee shop is good for snacks. The train is great but need adult to sit with you.

Great rides on the mini steam trains around a huge fishing lake.
Walk around the lake and see the fishermen catching carp
Wonderful cafe with lots of outside seating and a large play area for kids of all ages
Adults love it too

I used to take my children here when they were younger ( in late teens now!) it was brilliant then and still is now. Family run business, dad and son still taking charge of the train as they did many years ago. Very reasonably priced. Everything is a bit bigger than the last time I was there but in a good way, bigger shop and bigger play areas. I went with my sister and 3 children ranging between 1-3 and they all loved it. Due to how hot it was on this particular day and their ages we only stayed 3 hours but this a easily a whole day out with slightly older children. It has a cafe with a range of food like sandwiches and jacket potatoes which all looked very nice. My sister enjoyed herself as well so hopefully we will go back for another visit soon!

Unless you're prepared to pay for a multi-ride ticket, the one ride allowed for the standard ticket is poor value as it's quickly over. They have an attractive setting and it's still being developed.

My mother, aged 89 and me, aged 65, spent a lovely afternoon here last Friday. The sun was out, the children were having fun and mother and I walked through the grounds and by the lake after a ride on the railway! We had no idea when we bought the tickets that it was so tiny and there were no seats, but the driver/guard was so helpful and such fun and made sure we both were sitting as comfortably as possible. I haven't seen my mother laugh so much for ages. After walking through all those lovely grounds we stopped for sandwiches and tea before leaving. It was an absolutely delightful and unusual afternoon for both of us. I highly recommend for all ages, young and not so young!

EMSR is a great little attraction for young families with kids under 10 (and of course, the young at heart!). The surrounding parklands, lakes and greenery is calming and pretty, especially on a sunny day like on the day we went.
In addition to the main train attracting, there are decent play areas, mini maze and picnic grounds where kids have enough room to explore and roam. One can spend a 4-5hours here at a relaxed pace. Prices are reasonable, especially the annual tickets if you are planning to return.

we love this place, great access even in wheel chair, the trains are wonderful. also you can sit and watch fishermen pulling the most amazing fish from the lake which is also a delight to walk around. frequent visits all summer.

I went here with my friend and her little sister and her friend, We decided we'd pay so that we could go on the train as many times as possible. The train was a brilliant as I remember it being as a kid and we definitely went on that as many times as possible. The play area was fun for the children but there were bees and wasps all over the play area so we didn't really stay there very long. All in all it was a great day out and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

My family and I have season tickets which we renew each year. The family and staff who work here are friendly and accommodate requests. We took the 'school bear' for a visit and we were able to get pic taken sitting on the engine.
The main park has plenty of equipment for various ages, there is a separate under 5 area with little houses and other equipment. A couple of other play areas and a willow maze, big enough to get lost in but easy enough to send the bigger children in alone.
Toilets are clean.
Cafe serves good food at sensible prices.
Shop is well priced with plenty ofThomas merchandise, model railway stock including engines, variety of other souvenirs.
Take a bag of 20ps to drop in the slots to make various model railways work and a couple of ride one too.

This is a really lovely place to take young kids. It's somewhere for the whole family with a really well run tea shop, an extensive play park for little and big children, a toddler park with little huts in the woods (all pretty safe) and a wonderful place on a nice day to walk and enjoy family time. The railway is brilliant and the family run park is a must for any train enthusiast big or small. Great, well priced day out and if you are local the season ticket is brilliant value...

Grand children loved it here could not get them away from the trains and playground. The model trains were of great interest to them.

Visited EMSR so many times we bought a membership! So much fun even if you don't have a train ride. Lots of picnic space, clean facilities, children play for hours! I've always felt very safe here. Take lots of 20ps!

Our boys are now 7 & 9 and just about growing out of it but for the last 4 years this has been a regular haunt for us. Repeat visiting is very easy (we've been down weekend after weekend in the summer) due to its variety of things to do and great play park. I'd often take my 2 boys down, grab a book to read and leave them to it with my wife gets a few hours rest at home.
Yearly membership is a bargain!

Great place to visit, kids will love it and not too expensive either.

Love this place! The train ride is just long enough to enjoy the beautiful scenery but not too long to get bored or uncomfortable. The play areas are great - one for toddlers and one for older kids. The cafe is great with really friendly and helpful staff. It's a little expensive for adults, but not overly so. Just makes it a special trip out rather than frequent visits

Nice for toddlers.

Excellent value for money on the entry, snacks and drinks. The train goes around the lake and takes a little over 5 minutes. The maze is good enough to be fun but small enough for a toddler to handle. There is a large play area at the entrance (with fenced off toddler area) and two smaller play areas when walking round the lake.

Well worth a visit. Family run business and offers excellent value for money for the entry fee and food.

Good children's play area could do with it having a indoor place then when it rains you have more amenities the train only goes once for a pound ,need to stay open all year round ,runs from March to October also needs an indoor cafe again when it rains that's it needs looking in to that shame
