Dog Friendly Food & Drink Indoor Attraction Open During the Winter Wheelchair Accessible

Discover the only attraction in Cornwall that transports families on an exciting nostalgic steam train ride into a secret world of traditional fun and family adventures. Children will delight in the thrill of trains and boats, explore nature, let off steam in our outdoor spaces before refuelling in comfort at the café.
