Eastleigh Lakeside Miniature Railway

“We absolutely love Eastleigh Lakeside Miniature Railway and have been visiting for years. It’s a fantastic place for children (and adults, too)! The train ride is brilliant and does a lovely loop around the lakes. Halfway round, you can hop off at the top, where there’s a great playground and beautiful lakeside paths if you fancy a wander. On the way back, there’s an exciting tunnel which the kids always enjoy, and the whole ride feels really special. The railway staff make it such a fun and realistic experience and are always wonderfully kind and welcoming to the children. There’s also a lovely café and a little shop on site. Sometimes we grab something from the café, other times we bring a picnic and enjoy it at the top stop by the lakes. Highly recommend for a family day out, it’s one of our favourite local places to visit. 🚂”

“We really enjoyed our trip out on the trains! It's a fair sized length to the track that does a loop into the playground (where you can jump off for a stop) and then back to the station. They have a large variety of trains, we saw about 5 different ones on the afternoon we was there, but looked like they had loads more as well. Tickets can be picked up from just inside the station, there is also a gift shop there as well as the cafe. As a plus, the parking outside is free! A wonderful afternoon on the trains! 😀”

“I come here alot as I live close by for my mental health walks and daily exercise. if I didnt end up getting lost one day I would never would of found this place, we are very fortunate to have a little closed off space to enjoy nature surrounding. can always hear the miniature train even from the house. great little place to visit for the hole family.”
