This place is amazing!!! A train enthusiasts dream! Huge bright clean open space chock full of so many different types of trains and other train memorabilia all for free!! Only gave 4 stars as it would be wonderful if guided tours were available so you could really really absorb it all with extra personal knowledge. Will definitely make this a regular family activity.

The new facility is well setup, all under cover with a nice little coffee counter. Only open at the moment, either side of train arrival, on selected days to Menzies Creek, but is well worth the visit even if not by train.....actually it's almost better as the crowd returns to Belgrave....we had the whole facility to ourselves. Best of all....it's FREE!!!!!

Hard to judge a free museum that solely exists to amuse people who get the cheapest Puffing Billy tickets (to Menzie's Creek and back). It has a bunch of old trains and stuff. It's free. There is a little cafe with decent coffee. If the museum wasn't there, there would be nothing to do between train to and from MC.

We went on the Polar Express. Well let me tell you, if you have Yong kids grand kids or great grand kids they will love ❤️ it and so will you. They put on a show that captured us all.

The shortest one (Begrave to Menzies Creek Station) worked perfect for a 2 yr old, just don't get the morning tea with the ticket. I ended up waiting in line for the morning tea for half the time we had at the museum. Just pack a snack. Other than that was great.

Part of Australia's history in one place. The work being put in to the museum is paying off. Can't wait to see what further developments are in the pipeline.

Quite interesting. Very well maintained. Treat for those who love machines. Not a big place, so it can be covered in reasonable time. It has a small cafe as well.
