We visited for christmas, the enthusiastic volunteers made it a fun and wholesome experience with lots of laughs! The model railway was thoroughly enjoyed by my youngest and knowing that we were supporting a heritage site made it all the better. I would recommend it for all but especially those with children that would like a magical but calmer experience. Also, Father Christmas was all that we had hoped for.
Bought as a birthday gift we couldn’t have ever imagined how awesome the day was with these wonderful people. Thinking we’d just been shown a few things and had a little drive, we were wrong. My partner couldn’t stop smiling. He still hasn’t stopped talking about it. I can not begin to describe how happy we were and if you get an opportunity do it! To think this is all run by volunteers is incredible. This is something that’s a real treat but we will be back. Especially for those pasties
The Yeovil Railway Centre, a heritage railway located at Yeovil Junction Station that preserves and operates historic steam and diesel locomotives, including public rides and turntable demonstrations on special event days. So nice to witness steam engines operating even now!!
We came to do steam rides and meet paw patrol. Staff fantastic and very knowledgeable and really friendly!. Nothings to much trouble smiley and friendly. everything was very close so no need to walk for ages. Clean and tidy. Engines look beautiful. Shop a real treat for the real enthusiast. Model train display was brilliant Lovely time Just update we have been to the santa special and easter to meet Peter rabbit any event they hold here we have the best time!
We've visited three times, all in December, for the Santa Special 🎅 Such a sweet Santa train experience. Lovely, friendly ladies and gentlemen run these events. It's ever so quaint, their displays and festive boards and signs hold a nostalgic feeling. There's a room with the model railway that's really great for young and old. The main room after the train ride house's a play/dance area, festive displays, lights, music, raffle, refreshment area and, of course, Santa's grotto! Our two are nearly 8 and 10, they loved it all including the falling snow and snowballs! We won a prize in the raffle after our cuppa and mince pie this year too!🏆
