We were looking after the youngest grandchild and wondered where to go on a sunny day. The EMSR was the right choice. Reasonable priced and enough to keep a 2 year old happy and safe.. Very clean and tidy. Food good value. A must return visit in the near future.

I think this place is really good for younger children, the obviouse fun of riding on a real steam miniature train, pretty good play areas, fun maze, long stroll round the lake with play stops, knome thingy, indoor coin operated train sets (take loads of 20p's) Study the photos in the train shed and a huge amount of hard work has gone into creating this railway and credit to them. A parent of young, especially pre schoolers can loose a big part of the day here, older kids 7+ may struggle- although? everyone loves a steam train ride.

A great place to take the family, plenty to do and a cafe. If you have children who love trains then this is the place for you.

Excellent if you have a toddler who loves trains. Everything is reasonably priced, entry was a little over £5 with one train ride or £2 more for unlimited rides. It's definatly worth getting unlimited. The track goes around a lake for about 5 minutes. You can also walk around the lake, with a couple of small play areas on the way round.

There is a large play area with lots to keep kids of all ages entertained and a separate toddler space. There are also model railways which cost 20p to run. The food and drinks are good value and we enjoyed what we had.

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.

A fabulous experience for young and the not so young. Plenty to do to keep the little ones occupied and nice walks round the fishing lake. We brought our kids here when they were young and the Wadey family first started the miniature steam railway all those years ago. Now we bring our grandchildren and enjoy every minute.

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

Lovely little place with great play areas.
The train ride just covered one main circuit which was very nice.
We had booked for unlimited rides, but to be honest after 3 circuits we weren’t bothered about going again.
Food was very nice and “Mike” (The owner)was just oh so cheerful helping you on and off the train.
We thought we would spend a couple of hours there, but we spent just over 4.
Highly recommend it!

I took my grandson last weekend. It was a great experience.... Everything was planned to make it a fun, family experience. The place was clean, great value and had a quality about it that has got lost in some other venues. My grandson can't stop talking about it...

We always enjoy a visit here. Well looked after and has grown over the years. Used to take my children here and now we take the grandchildren. Well worth a visit

This is an ideal attraction for children, miniature train rides, indoor train layouts, a large array of outdoor play equipment, a maze, Toddler zone play area. There are lots of picnic tables dotted about and a well stocked café serving an array of sandwiches, and light meals. You can also enjoy a walk around the lake following the course of the railway. At several place you will see the train pass by, so don't forget to wave to those on the train. For the 'Thomas the tank Engine' and train enthusiast, the shop is well worth browsing.

Anyone with young children looking for a different activity in Eastbourne should put this on their list. The trains are lovingly maintained; the circuit is just the right length; there is a good-sized play area while waiting/between trips; and there's a place for refreshments too.

Great day out. Plenty to see and do. All the children seemed to be enjoying themselves. We had a two year old but suits older children too. On a nice day it would be easy to spend a whole day there. The nature walk is a good way to enjoy a stroll away from the park area.

This is really good for young children - I think older ones would get a bit bored, but great for little ones. Ideal for a half day out. Nice play areas and good basic cafe.

It was a great place to spend with young kids. They loved the trains and all the playgrounds. It was a hot day but was great to have loads of tree shades. Nice little Caffee was convenient, loads of picnic tables. Loved our visit.

Beautifully kept, with a main play park and then smaller children's play parks dotted around the grounds along the river walk and a mile long train ride around the lake
