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.”

“Absolute bliss to have ridden this miniature train. Who doesn't like a steam engine miniature train that goes into a cave with fairy lights and when you come out you see the smoke cloud puffing out from the engine calling out choo chooo! Oh I relived my childhood!!”
