Best for younger kids who love trains and a gentle ride around the water. A short, well-liked loop past the marine lake with crab-spotting nearby.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
A ten-minute loop round the marine lake sounds slight on paper, but the welcome tips it over: staff who let little ones sit in the engine for photos, a small museum children drag their feet to leave, and a play area with ice-cream and seating. The catch is the length, so treat it as a relaxed pause in a bigger day out rather than the whole outing.

“Short yet brilliant experience on this miniature train 🚆 You can purchase tickets 🎟 upon arrival at £4pp for adults and £3 for children. The queue was relatively short and we had to wait about 2-3 minutes before the train come in. Once seated (you can sit anywhere) the train departed after around 5 minutes. It's a beautiful journey around the lake which took around 10 minutes from start to end. Plenty of opportunities to take photos and videos 📹 of the lake and the surrounding areas. This was a nice little break in the middle of our day where we had a slight rest and caught the beautiful cool breeze 😎 Overall I would definitely give this a try. For £4 you can't go wrong lol”

“We stopped in on the way home from holiday not expecting much but the train and the ride around the large lake is really nice and the staff were really friendly with my 2 young kids letting them sit in the engine for pictures and taking pictures of all of us. The prices are very fair for the ride and you get access to the little museum which is only small but my kids loved and didn't want to leave. There is a small play area and outdoor seating to enjoy an ice-cream and coffee. We'll definitely be back again when in the area.”

Overview
A proper little steam-and-diesel ride that circles the marine lake, past the water where kids clock the crabs and the boats. The engines are the real pull - small enough to feel like theirs, with staff happy to perch little ones in the cab for a photo. Tickets are bought on arrival and the queue tends to move quickly, so it rarely eats into the rest of the day.
