Esplanade Miniature Railway

Hop aboard a miniature train and enjoy a ride through Palmerston North’s beautiful Victoria Esplanade.

The track is 2.2km long and the ride is approximately 20 minutes duration.

Hours of Operation

1 - 4pm Saturday and Sunday, school and public holidays. Extended hours in January.
