Carters Wonder Railway – Ding ding, all aboard! This is your opportunity to release your inner train driver.
About The Train Ride
This railway track is very popular with families and small children because you can ride together. Everyone wants to be in the driver’s carriage to ring the bell.
Who can ride, and what does it cost?
The fare on our railway is 1 new 2022 token per passenger.
There are no height restriction, so families can travel together.
Children under 90cm can ride for free with a paying adult or older sibling.
A brief history of the Train ride
The train ride is believed to have been made by Maxwell some time in the 1930s, and was in use in a park in the Peak District before coming to Carters in 1995.
