Mornington Railway

“We always love to include our furchild to these kind of experiences, so it was grateful for the Mornington Tourist Railway to have a Yelpy Kelpie's Railway Adventure which one carriage could include dogs! We pre-purchased our tickets online and once arrived swap the electronic tickets to physical tickets which cutely were punched holed when we got on board. It’s all run by volunteers which is amazing and all the volunteers running the place this weekend were all so friendly and accommodating. Recommend to grab a snag at the kiosk too - the gentleman was so lovely that he gave our Dobby some pieces of snags! The ride itself on the train was a cool experience and having our dog on board was even better. Most parties got a carriage each so it was comfortable and our dog loved looking outside. It’s a well organised activity, recommend if you’re around the area to drop in! All proceeds go towards to maintenance of railway. If you would like to bring your dog; stay in tune on their socials for days / dates you can book in a ride with your pooch.”

“Mornington Tourist Railway held their first dog friendly event. We thoroughly enjoyed taking a step back in time to relax and enjoy steam train travel with our three dogs. We booked our own compartment, which we highly recommend, that way the dogs were so relaxed and calm on their first train ride. The staff were absolutely lovely and happy to answer all questions about these beautifully restored trains. It was such a treat to learn from them as we soaked up the heritage vibes. There was plenty of time to check out the steam engine and let the dogs have a run around on the grass at the Mornington Station stop and plenty more to learn and check our at Moorooduc Station. All the dogs we met on the day were so well behaved. Highly recommended a visit. We will be back. All dogs travelled in the same carriage, so if you’re not a dog person you don’t need to be anywhere near them.”

“Just want to say a huge thanks to the guys for putting on the Santa Train rides on the weekend. The grandchildren had so much fun travelling with Santa and his elf. We all loved the whole experience of a vintage train ride. So good to see so much support for the railway. Many happy families like us.”

“This is the most unique train 🚆 experience on Victoria. Looking for fun things to do with friends and family i highly recommend this heritage train ride in Mornington Peninsula. Running throughout the weekend this school holidays.”
