Waipuna Minature Trains — Attraction in Maungakiekie-Tāmaki

A Hidden Gem for Family Fun! Waipuna Miniature Trains is an absolute delight for families, especially young train enthusiasts! Though it’s only open to the public on Sundays from 1 PM to 4 PM，the short operating hours make it a special weekend treat. My kids adore riding the miniature trains, and at just $2 per ride .it’s an affordable and nostalgic experience. The trains are well-maintained, and the tracks wind through charming scenery, making each ride exciting.

What truly makes this place special is the dedicated team of volunteers who run it. Their passion and hard work create a welcoming, joyful atmosphere for visitors. They operate the trains with such care and enthusiasm, ensuring every child and adult! leaves with a smile. It’s heartwarming to see a community-driven attraction that brings so much happiness to families.

A few tips for visitors: Bring plenty of $2 coins（or change) for multiple rides—kids will definitely want to go more than once! Arrive early, as it can get busy. Pack a picnic—there’s space to relax while kids watch the trains go by. Don’t forget sunscreen and hats on sunny days, as shade is limited.

This place runs on passion, not profit, so supporting it helps keep the magic alive. We’re so grateful for the volunteers who make these memories possible.
