Fantastic place for kids. My daughter enjoyed this place. Apart from toy train, there are many other areas for kids to enjoy.

What a great day, I noticed some people say not the whole day, not the case we had a great day, lots of steam rides picnic next to the lake, fantastic play parks, watched the fishermen pull out some massive carp, my 4 year old daughter loved it as did my 5 year old nephew. Well run you can tell the family that own it love it.

This is such a cute little place for families with young children.
Our little boy is not yet 2yrs but loves this place and never seems to get bored.
Plenty to do if the weather is nice, the railway is well run and the drivers make a real effort wearing all the right uniforms and are so friendly.
Packed lunches are allowed but there is also a little cafe on site for a small selection of hot/cold food which is reasonably priced and nice. Ice-creams and jelly a plenty too!
Prices are quite reasonable, especially if you buy unlimited and go on the train more three times or more! Under 2's are free which is great.
Would recommend on a dry or sunny day - take a picnic blanket as it can get quite busy. Lots of tables but not all in the park area which can be a pain, so blanket for a picnic would be a handy 'just in case'!
No dogs allowed though :-(

THis facility is well worth the money.
The kids will love the soft play area, the train ride and the general layout.
We took our own food as did lots of others but the food here is reasonably priced.
The entrance fee is quite reasonable.
The toilets are very clean and serviced regularly.
A special mention for the train ride and the guard who is VERY good with the kids. The driver too was very plasant but obviously he had his hands full driving the train.
We will take our granfchildren back again.

Possibly the best value for money and fun for kids in Sussex. Get a yearly pass, we'll worth it

This attraction is superb for kids 9 and under as more geared to younger ones. It is well run compact in lovely surroundings. The cost is reasonable for families too. The staff are polite and helpful. Enough to keep kids amused for hours. Lots of adults enjoy the train rides too. I think better than Drucillas which is expensive crowded and not well laid out. Lots of picnic tables all around the site and some in shade too.

Great value for money. My 2 and 7 year old loved it and we enjoyed a lovely afternoon there but could have spent longer. I would recommend the unlimited train ride ticket too.

Took my small grandson here to ride the trains, during the summer months ( six weeks holidays) they get the steam trains out and this is a real treat for any boy big or small. The little snack bar/restaurant is very reasonably priced we had sandwiches and they also do a lunch box for children priced around £4.99 (approx) this includes fruit (banana) sandwich drink etc
We paid £16 for 2 adults (as baby is only 14 months old) this was for endless rides on the train. Didn't see the Gruffalo though , we went round 3 times :) Theres a maze and lots of playparks for the children , gardens are well kept . Most enjoyable day.

We were so excited to ride all the trains and said to the girl we want to ride them all and a few times so we paid for the unlimited only to discover there was one train only running for the day! It pissed me off that she did not say there is only one train today so then we could have just paid for the one ride.<br><br>Aside from that, it is a fun place for kids with a huge play park, there are picnic tables, bathrooms, a shop, a little cafe place for food or you can bring your own food.<br><br>So yes it is lots of fun for the family but ask how many trains are running first so to avoid the disappointment when everyone is looking forward to riding 3 trains and finding only one is running.

A real highlight for me and my 2 year old. We loved the size as everything is a short walk away and the steam train was fab. Children's playground was very impressive.

Lovely relaxed fun day for alla

This is what all family days out should be like. We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon riding the train and exploring the play-park and lake. The entire site is immaculate, all of the staff are friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed lunch freshly prepared on-site with generous portions. It is rare to visit somewhere the offers such good value for money, and I can't recommend Eastbourne Minature Steam Railway highly enough.

Fantastic and v fair pricing. V impressed by up keep and standards. Trains are brilliant (my son told me) and you don't have to leave via the shop which is a nice touch. Will visit again!

Had a great day there from the time it opened to nearly closing . My 3 had a fab time . Brought the unlimited ticket so we went in the train 4 or 5 times and played for hrs in the play area . Had a lovely picnic near the lakes . Amazing place it's great fun even did the maze twice . Can't wait to go back

The main reason coming here is for the trains , well worth doing unlimited rides for as my boys went on it around 5 times , but the park is pretty good too and have a small maze as well, and a lovely walk around the lake, some of it probably not ideal for wheel chairs ,
I thought cafe prices were reasonable , for 3 milkshakes and a pot of tea for 2 was £7.50 (I've paid more then that in cafes before ) but this is an ideal location for a picnic , with lots of places to have one .
Only thing is , like some of the other reviews it's probably not a good rainy day place but saying that, if you wrap up well you could still have a nice day ,
The staff are very polite here and very helpful, will come again when passing or back in this area
