So worthy to try!!! My almost 3yrs old boy loves this place, beautiful environment, kind people, reasonable ticket price, they got everything for kids and families as well :) We will definitely be back before the end of the September, Thank you for the lovely riding ♡

Megan McKay

$3 per ride, lots of different trains. The tracks are awesome. Took our 2 year old and he absolutely loved it! Definitely going back again.

Hestia

This train ride is a wonderful experience for the whole family. I've been here twice and both times the number of adults surpassed the children. Tickets are $3.50 , children under 3 ride for free. The volunteers there are so happy and kind and nice. It makes for a great time.

Chris Greig

Really can't be beat if you have a kid who likes trains. Best to go when not busy and just hit the trains over and over. $7 perride but well worth it. More than 1km of track in each ride!

Ken Wong

Nathan Matell

Lots of fun for the kids & very reasonable

For the price you pay, between 10-20 minutes it's an awesome time for your little ones. We would at least go twice when we are there. Note: Listen, when the train conductor says out loud, if there are any small groups of 2 people, 3 people or 4 people. WHY? You, may be able to jump the line. We did this twice! I was listening to the conductor, and he said anyone here with 2 people? When he said 4 people, I said, "me," and away we went. The bonus part, our ride got extended too. Super. But the most amazing thing about this is the engineers and the volunteers. They put in so many hours on their own time. So, next time you ride with them, just take a few seconds to say thanks!

Awesome miniature railway for kids. Great place to spend a day with toddlers. Train ride is always different, they have miles of tracks, bridges and tunnels, quite the thing when you see it all. The concession does sell popcorn hotdogs and a few other treats. Many tents are rented out for birthdays, and they will allow you to bring in outside food for birthday parties (pizza seems to be a favorite). Please call and check availability for birthdays. Usually they open between Easter and Labour day, but they may have special event trains (halloween or christmas).

Great for young kids and the young at heart. Good place for kids birthday parties as well.

SHAILEN CHAUHAN

only problem was the old lady, The one on the entrance super awesome , but the one on the train as a conductor was so rude, in the middle of the ride she stop the train and came to me said , put down the phone i clearly said that you can’t video it. and so rude the tone. I didn’t said any single word put my phone away, but every single person on the train where holding the phone, literally I felt a recital profiled. I have the video that can show the persons in front of me holding the camera throughout the ride.

Paul Low (zdonkulous)

Fantastic train rides for all ages! My kids love this place & can't get enough of the train rides. I'm always blown away by the level of detail & passion that their volunteers have for trains. Secretly, I think I like it more the my kids.

Bernard Ng

This is such a fun place regardless if you're young or old. We go here frequently throughout the summer and it's very popular for bday parties.

Toby Donaldson

Albert Poon

Graham Knights

Great low cost family fun! A great hidden gem in the middle North Burnaby, run by volunteers who love the hobby (and often former career) of trains. Hop on for about a 10 minute ride behind a stream powered locomotive through this great little park.

Colin Mah

Actually, maybe I should make it one star because now my kid wants to go every day. Seriously though. It's a great attraction. Good length ride, always different. Food is reasonably priced too.

Jeff O.

My son loves it here. Miniature trains with bridges and tunnels on the track, some picnic tables, and a cadre of dedicated train enthusiasts.

Really great place for young kids. Very reasonable prices. $30 for 10 rides you can share with multiple people and free under 3. Very good prices on food and snacks. My daughter wanted to go back the same day.

Solomon Wong

A great value for kids for one ride or group birthday parties in a covered tent area. Friendly volunteers and a course that is constantly upgraded for new rail routes!

Dragos Dorneanu

Catherine Scott

Amazingly quaint. I love all the staff who are such avid train lovers all dressed as conductors, and even the less enthusiastic operator we saw yesterday. My older one was captivated by the miniature train model set inside. A place full of character - my boys had so much fun here!

Pachi Gambra Arregui

Eugenia S

Fantastic place to bring your kids to. The rides are really long and well worth the price. Nice decorations along the way. It feels pretty old school, which just adds extra charm to this place. Buy a pack of 10 tokens for the best deal. You can use them up later. Hot dogs ($2), drinks and other snacks are available on site.

Mike Andrews

Great place for families. We'll run, clean and tons of fun. Staff are super nice.

Great place to bring the kids and grandpa 10 stars if I could

Maggie May

Fun family oriented. Price point is good and a reasonably long ride. Few different routes so if you go on more than one ride likely will be different tracks and engines. Kids love the place!

Tyler Egeto

This place is awesome. If you have kids you need to take them. If you don't have kids you need to take yourself.

A nice, entertaining and laidback place to take the kids for an hour or so. The train ride is the highlight of the place and very convenient at only $3.50 per person. Really enjoyed it.

Clinton Wong

Such a great place to come with the family. Its very reasonably priced, the staff are very friendly and knowledgable, and the train rides are a ton of fun. The grounds are very well maintained and you can do kids birthday parties here or even just bring food and hang out and have a picnic. Definitely recommended.

I loved that it's one family per car. Also appreciated the shading provided for the line up.

Dee de los Santos

Great place to take a 2year old fascinated with trains. We felt very safe with all the guidelines in place.

Rick W

For $4 per adult you get to ride along with your little one for 10 minutes on a steam train...(kids under 3yrs old is free!) and across the train you have the Confederation Park for picnic. One of the good place to spend your day with kids in summer!

Corey Reynolds

Lots of fun for little kids, and big kids, too! I was impressed with the length of the train ride. You get to go up, down, around, through tunnels, over bridges.

Sabine Buchmann

I used to like this place a lot- great people who ran the place with lots of heart and one could tell the love that went in all the little details, decorations and the well kept grounds. Last time I went the place was littered with “Don’t...” signs and inside the station where some very grumpy people guarding their model railroad with all their might. The place is catering to families with small children- if you don’t like children then don’t set up your things there? Death stares, “Do not touch signs” every 5cms and the super kicker: $5 penalty if your child causes the train to derail. Ridiculous. And no, I neither expected my child being allowed to touch nor to derail the trains. But the way it was communicated combined with the displayed unfriendliness turned the fun into a rather negative experience.

Awesome place for families. Even adults enjoy the train ride. It's scenic 10 mins journey. Near by park has water sprinklers and many things for kids. It good for picnic as well. Youcan spend 3 to 4 hours. Very accessible by bublic transport.

The volunteers are doing an amazing job of keeping everyone socially distanced and safe. They seat people in separate groups in the cars to make sure there is adequate distance between passengers, sanitize the cars after passengers get off before the next set get on and have markers everywhere. They screen everyone for Covid risks and require masks. So mask up and have fun with the kiddos! Consider buying the 10 pack tokens to support them or just donate! Our kiddos always love it and this year was no exception!

Andy Lee (Answer:Love myself)

Great place to go with kids. My 3 yr old had lots of fun riding the miniature trains. The queue is a little long to get on the trains and to get tokens. Would suggest buyin 10 tokens together as they nvr expire and you can use them even after a yr

Scale size ride on trains for adults and children, everyone eventually has to come and check this out, I would say this is one of the must does in Vancouver area

A Burnaby hidden treasure! If you have children, you probably know about it. But I dare say, parents have as much fun as their children. For a mere pittance you can ride a variety of miniature train cars pulled by carefully created replica trains. Personally, I enjoy the steam engines which harken back to a more civilized time where people rode trains in style. But there are many different types (sorry, no Thomas). There is a surprisingly elaborate set of tracks, bridges and tunnels that meander through a small forest. Lots of fun things have been set up on the trees for the children to look at. Depending on how busy the railway is, your train ride could be quite lengthy or shorter if the line-ups are long. The trains are run by the a small group of volunteer train enthusiasts with the land being rented to them for a nominal amount by the city. They have a few picnic tables for eating, and a reserved area for children’s parties. Cheaper to buy the train tokens in the 10 pack (and if you have children, one ride will NOT be enough). Children under 3 are free. A small concession stand and washrooms are available. All in all, a very enjoyable way to spend a few dollars. I highly doubt you will be disappointed.

Raynold Tseng

Michael Grigorian

Mini train ride through woodland is fun for families but experience ruined by grumpy old man running the model train set complete with signs saying $5 fine if your kid touches and de-rails his stupid toy. A-hole, grow up.

A lot of fun for the entire family. Totally worth the price of the ride. I recommend taking at least two train rides so you can go on different trains.

Brian Ngan

Krissy L

A wonderful experience for the young and young at heart. We went at 11AM and the line took us 20 minutes. We didn’t mind at all because there was plenty of train action to keep our daughter occupied. The line was just 2 families when we passed by at 12:30PM. The volunteers were so warm and friendly. The ride itself was interesting and relaxing, plenty of gnome and elf spotting. Great shade from the trees during the ride. The line-up is covered by roofing and large umbrellas so you don’t roast while you wait. Social distancing measures in place. Masks required for adults. Hands need to be sanitized before you enter. Trains are sprayed to sanitize between loads. Washrooms were very clean and well-stocked with soap and paper towels.

I like this place for birthday parties, but other than that it's not really worth the trip out just for the mini-train ride. The decorations placed along the track were broken and old. If they are going to have decorations, either update them or take them out completely.

We had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday. The kids all went on the train and loved it. Their parents did too. The only thing tha would have helped on the train would be to have handholds so people with balance problems could have a secure grip. This could be done at the front t of each car. Thanks for a wonderful day.

A variety of Miniature trains. All made to scale and maintained by the volunteers. The ride is a nice one. When you buy 10 tokens you get 1 ride free. They have a nice HO or N scale layout, but it's closed at the moment due to covid. There is another layout where they allow kids to control the trains as well. A good outing cour not just kids but also train enthusiasts.

We love the mini trains and we go at least 6 times a year. All the staff are volunteers and they are all so wonderful. A real gem of a community. The train ride itself is so relaxing and the routes can get quite complex and interesting. We went today and it was opening day of 2020. Full physical social distancing is practiced with clear instructions and signs everywhere. Well thought out and well run. Thank you Burnaby Central Railway!!!

ACSW Chang

Strengths: Fun ride for the whole family. A decent length for the ride. Weakness: If it was faster on certain parts the ride could have been more exciting. Been to the railway a few times. Once for a birthday party, and another two times just to ride the train. Today was a great day so the family and a family friend decided to do a ride. There.was a lineup but it wasn't too long - possibly ten minutes. They conductor gave a quick safety intro which included some humour and off we went. The ride does two circles. The full ride was 10mins. It was a tad slow on certain parts, but the breeze and sun was very comfortable. There's also some good shading from the trees so that you don't burn.

(Translated) Both children and adults liked it I took three different trains Nice place to ride a mini train while having a picnic It seemed to have been around for two hours ~ (Original) 아이들과 어른들 모두 좋아했어요 세번정도 각기 다른 열차 탔어요 간단히 피크닉 하면서 미니기차 타기 좋은곳 두시간 정도 있었던 듯~

This is an awesome place to visit and spend time with my grand-kids. The problem is parking. Since Burnaby put in the new "sidewalk" parking around the area "sucks". I am not as mobile as I used to be and having to park near the pool makes me think twice about coming here. If I didn't love my little ones as much as I do, I would be taking the Train Park off my list of things to do. Just saying. I am also writing a letter of complaint to the Burnaby Mayor's office.. but as I am not a citizen of Burnaby, it will probably fall on deaf ears. So, Burnaby residents - if you like visiting the Train park, drop a line to the Mayor's office and let him know the issue is not just me.

My kids love it. Nice little train ride located next to confederation park. Tokens don't expire so you can purchase 10 rides at a time for a bit of a discount. Good for kids parties. Limited parking but lots of street parking nearby.

What a fantastic experience. They have multiple trains, lots of tracks and the conductors switch up the route daily so always a unique ride. It is like riding on a model train versus Stanley Park which feels more like an amusement park. I really appreciate the steam locomotive! Highly recommended and big props to the volunteers that have built and maintain this unique experience. Rides are only $4.50 or a 10 pack for $40. Well worth a visit.

Nice place to visit

Great clean fun for all ages and families

Ivanna Mikhaylova

Awesome place for younger kids and train enthusiasts. The rides have a decent time span, bridges, tunnels, and little curiosities for kids to spot along the way, so it is very much worth the money. Only open on weekends and holidays, and closed for the winter, so make sure you check their hours before you go.

So glad they survived COVID, plus the place got a face lift since the last time we visited before the pandemic. Riding miniature train never gets old, keep up the good work!

Rebecca

Kids love it. Fun ride for the whole family. $3.50 each ride. Kids under 3 are free. Our family frequently visit this place during summer. This place has a concession stand that sells hot dog, popcorns, ice cream.
