Great little family run attraction for everyone. Single ticket for Β£2 or Β£3 return. It takes you to the amusement park. Lovely ride for the whole family through the fishing village of Hastings. Close to major car parks and other attractions. Different types or trains operating quite frequently. No card payment is accepted (did not expected) so make sure you have some cash. I would definitely recommend this for anyone.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with young children who love trains and want a charming, low-key ride rather than dramatic coastal scenery. The railway doubles as practical transport between car parks and the seafront, which makes it useful as well as fun.

⏰A group of five people pays for only four tickets
🎟️Consider a single ticket if you plan to walk back and take in the seafront

β€œThis is the best flipping thing I've been on in many moons sir. I saw it and knew it had to be ridden like a drunk chick at a mechanical bull ride. Was worth every penny and we all loved it. I may have been the most excited but people's were waving and stuff was epic”

β€œVery cute and well maintained. The trains look great and the stations look nice. The price for a single was Β£3, which is a bit steep, but when you go with 5 people, you only pay for 4. Our little one enjoyed it, but you can not see a lot of sea. Mostly the attractions around the train and the fishermen’s houses.”
