Canberra Miniature Railway
The Canberra Miniature Railway runs train rides for the public. We're owned and maintained by the Canberra Society of Model and Experimental Engineers (CSMEE), a community non-profit society staffed entirely by volunteers. All profits go towards building, maintaining and extending the rolling stock, track and infrastructure.
Train rides at dusk & in the dark, Sat 8 March 2025
Saturday 8 March 2025
On Saturday 8th March the CMR is hosting train rides at dusk and in the dark. Rides begin at 5:30pm so that the littlies can enjoy them before they're off to bed but the real fun begins at dusk and in the dark when our incredible light show comes alive! Many of our trains have light shows themselves but the greatest attractions are the animated lights around the tracks. Trains travel beside, around and even under thousands of computer-controlled lights.

Easter Egg Grabs & Night Trains
Between Saturday 19 April 2025 and Sunday 20 April 2025
The Canberra Miniature Railway is holding its Easter extravaganza, one of our most popular events of the year. Rides run between 5pm and 8:30pm so start in the daylight and end in the dark under lights, but the big hits are the two Easter egg hunts: 5:30pm and 7pm , where there are 4000 Easter eggs to grab! A great fun event not to be missed.
NOTE: Every person entering the site must have a ticket (but children aged 2 and under are free). Tickets includes entry, unlimited rides, the light shows, and for children the Easter egg grabs. Rides are for everyone but the egg grabs are for CHILDREN ONLY! For safety reasons, children shorter than our measuring sticks (about 1.4 m) must ride trains with an adult. ENCLOSED FOOTWEAR IS REQUIRED (no thongs, sandals, etc).

Halloween spooky train rides
Friday 31 October 2025
Come along on Halloween night
But beware - it may give you a fright!
Spooky decorations and yummy temptations
For you if you like
When it gets dark the decorations will spark
And the spookiness just begins
There's a skeleton in the shed
It might be a man without a head
But watch out for the spider that grins
So come along all dressed up
And give yourself a fright
Remember to ride the trains if you're game
And enjoy your spooky night
Times are 5:30pm to 9:30pm.
The canteen will be open for yummy hot food, cold drinks & ice creams. Buy your meal here and enjoy it in our covered picnic area.
