Dr. Ramakant Rana Altona Miniature Railway is an absolute gem for families and train enthusiasts alike! The volunteer-run hobby club offers a delightful experience with its miniature train rides, perfect for both kids and adults who are young at heart.
The beautifully maintained scaled diesel and steam engines provide a charming ride along the 1.5-kilometre track, surrounded by a welcoming and scenic environment. The passion and dedication of the volunteers shine through, making the experience even more special.
Visiting on the third Sunday of the month is a treat, and it’s a fantastic way to spend a few hours with loved ones. The affordable prices and friendly atmosphere make it even better. Highly recommend this unique and nostalgic outing!

Nitish Mahajan It was an open day and we got there just after 10:30 in the morning.
Getting there early meant the queues werent long at all. 10 minutes was all it took from the minute we arrived to when it was our turn to experience the miniature train.
Price being $4 for a 15 minute experience is definitely worth it.
The staff is very polite and help you understand the safety when on board the train.
Getting 11 passes cost the price of 10 which is a good discount.
Recommendation - bring a picnic rug and food to enjoy the day out with the family.
There was a coffee van, food truck and icecream van for patrons.
What could change ? - perhaps a little train museum in the future.
Would I come back - Yes.

Al L Weve been here many times with our kids and always have a fantastic time. The volunteers are always nice and friendly. We truly respect and appreciate them for their time and for keeping this adventure going for many families to enjoy.
Unfortunately, today I had a bad experience with one of the volunteers, which has prompted me to write this review. I believe this individual may benefit from some self-reflection or additional training.
As we were getting off the miniature train and heading toward the exit gate, one of the volunteers—who had been sitting at the back of the train—began screaming and pointing his finger at me, accusing me of allowing my child to reach outside the train during the ride. I denied this, as my 5-year-old’s hands were inside the entire time. It was a cold day, and I had held him in a bear hug throughout the ride.
I calmly asked the volunteer to stop yelling, but he continued raising his voice in front of the kids and other families, which was very embarrassing. Another volunteer, the train conductor, had to step in and quietly told me, “Don’t worry, just go.” Had the conductor not intervened, I might have shared my unfiltered opinion with the other volunteer.
I probably won’t be returning for a while. My apologies to all the other volunteers who do a great job—you don’t deserve to be overshadowed by this one incident. I understand a one-star review might seem harsh based on a single encounter, but I believe this matter needs to be addressed. I’ve included a photo of the volunteer who caused the unnecessary scene.

dian hapsari It was so awesome, miniature train. We dont expect. The railways quiet a long for the price tickets, 4$ for each. Not only for kids. Adults can feel so fun taking this train. We recommend these attractions not bad at all for whole families. They have a lot chair in the picnic area. Near hear also hev good playground. Dont forget to bring a lunch box for your kiddos. Easy to go here with public transportation or car because there hev parking as well.
