Vogrie Park Miniature Railway
Recurring
Our view
“Weather and volunteer numbers both have to line up on the day — if it's cancelled, the trip isn't wasted: the park itself is lovely for a walk, and Vogrie House has a proper café with soft play. On the ride itself, parents can go along with older children, but it's not really one for babies. The locomotives are real steam engines, so if your child is sensitive to noise or steam, it's worth bringing ear defenders.”
