The Glen Afton Line - Heritage Railway (aka The Bush Tramway Club)

Absolutely Brilliant - went there for my Grand Daughters 8th Birthday party - The kids loved it - adults too - short ride but can go on more than once - Great Fun and some nostalgia too

Wow!! This place is definitely a must do and it's perfect for all ages. At least one train is wheelchair/Stroller friendly. The staff are so welcoming, the locomotives look and sound amazing. And all of this is so affordable. What an absolutely fun day out! My hats off to the club that provides this to the public and keeps the trains and track running smoothly.

This is amazing, 30 minutes drive from Hamilton. Toddlers enjoy a lot here. There is a small cafe here too serves savouries and sausage rolls. Worth stopping by after the ride. Also, 1 ticket purchase can be used for multiple rides on the same day.

First of all a big thank you to Dave! what a great ambassador for your Club, he made us feel very welcome and showed us around. What can i say..... the area is amazing and it takes you back in time to were life was grand. there is an open day on the first Sunday of the month so ill be back to take a ride!

Great little steam train ridesEasy to get to and à friendly team volunteers who run the trains, station and canteen.Take a picnic and enjoy the whole environment

A great day out if you are interested in vintage machinery or steam locomotives. It is club of volunteers who have maintained and restored a unique collection of NZR engines. On their open days, get there early to secure a carpark otherwise you will be walking up a steep road!

I had a very pleasant experience at Glen Afton, the staff and volunteers were very chill and felt no pressure when exploring, taking the train and taking photos prior to the rides. I went expecting disorganization but it was nothin but that, the schedule was so well done. A great place for children to get a chance in their lifetime to ride a steam train since nowadays it has been phased out. The train station could play the Thomas the Tank Engine theme song to bring back some nostalgia to some older kids like me.All in all , cheap and fun and accessible for all ages. Highly recommend to leave a spot in your schedule for this once a month joyride.

A fab day out, cant believe never been,friendly staff, you get to wander which we liked but also it's safe. Very reasonable price,you don't go far but it's still exciting for us seniors, young people loved it all...Excellent team...thank you...

Lovely day to ride the train. Take a scenic train ride through the New Zealand bush on the Glen Afton LineCross the Waikato River and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Learn about the history of the area and purchase some souvenirs at shop. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy a leisurely meal while you take in the views.The Glen Afton Line is the perfect way to experience the beauty of New Zealand's natural landscape.

We loved the place, train ride and food. Its worth money. We loved the community there too. Would take my kids again someday.
