1 / 2Morphett Vale Railway Incorporated, SA
📍 Morphett Vale, SA
Volunteer-run miniature railway in Adelaide's southern suburbs offering unlimited rides for a fixed entry price. Multiple trains run simultaneously. Adjacent playground, sausage sizzle, and drinks available on operating days.
With plenty of space for picnics, the Railway Yard is a great day out for families or to celebrate a birthday. While there is plenty of space, it is highly recommended to bring some shade to keep out of the sun on warmer days. The train rides are a fixed price for unlimited rides and with multiple trains running at any one time, there is never a long wait to jump on for a ride. @cwade_creative
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with train-loving toddlers and young children who want unlimited rides without waiting in long queues. The fixed entry price removes the pressure of counting rides, and the adjacent playground means siblings of varying ages all find something to do.

“Great family day out, so much fun. Saw babies through to the elderly having a ball riding the tiny trains.”

“Staff are very nice and friendly and the volunteers do well. Lines can get long sometimes but that's for the steam train. Worth it for the kids also there's a larger park next door with two playgrounds.”
