Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: The animals are walking around at the feet and can be fed to kangaroos, but unfortunately, you can't hold a koala, and the peacocks spread their wings next to it, which is amazing, because it is a local day trip, so I don't know how much the ticket price is, it is very easy to bring children, the staff in the park are very kind, Feeding is only for the feed sold in the local garden.

Trip.com User: Many unique animals in Australia, there are special people to explain and kiss koalas to take photos, feed kangaroos, and many more animals to visit, is a must-see place for the old and young, it is more convenient to buy tickets in trip.

The open wooden carriage allows you to intimately connect with nature and breathe in the purity of forest air. Shortly after the train leaves the Belgrave station, passengers will see the most famous landmark of the Puffing Billy railway line, the Monbec Creek Trestle. In addition, there are many stations along the way where passengers may exit the train.

Trip.com User: very nice experience to take the steam train. my boy loves it so much. of course you cannot choose where to seat and which wagon to seat. the seat are allocated by the personnel on site. the only thing is you shall try to seat at the fat end wagon to avoid smoke .....

Trip.com User: Always had a good time on the 5 occasions I have travelled on the Puffing Billy. A great excuse to bring out the inner child.
