Saltburn Miniature Railway — Attraction in Saltburn, Marske and New Marske

Fab little train!! We were in Saltburn for the weekend and headed to the Saltburn miniature Railway as we knew our 3 year old would love it.

We were there for the first train ride at 12pm so it was reasonably quiet. The staff are all brilliant, from the lady who sold the tickets, to the train driver - my 3 year old got to sit in the drivers seat with his hat on, and even got to blow the horn, much to her delight!

The actual train ride is only short, but plentiful for little ones, and it's very picturesque, plus at £2 return for adults and free for under 5's it's a cheap source of entertainment! I also loved that before it set off, the whistle was blown.

At the end, we got off the train for a wonder round (there is also a tea rooms and playground there too).

We would definitely go...

Since we were here last the car park has been re-tar macked and surrounding area made nice and tidy and better presented. On the sad side of things the men's toilets had both urinals out of order and so you had to queue to use the only cubicle available which was annoying. There is a café on the corner as you enter the car park that sells hot and cold food and an ice cream kiosk, with plenty of seating inside and out that gets quite busy at certain times of the day. Very relaxing atmosphere, well worth a...

What a fantastic experience! Visited during the summer holidays with 2 children (5 years, 1 year)...they absolutely loved it! Wasn't busy to say it was a lovely day in the middle of summer...after buying tickets (no queue) we were pretty much straight on the train. They have cartridges suitable for prams which we used, however only a few and noticed some people needed to collapse their pram if there wasn't enough space. Lovely little trip through the woods. It is a very short trip, a walkable distance, but a great experience! We popped into the tea room at the other end...
