About

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 on each night.

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.

Please note that the booking fee of 88c per ticket goes to Trybooking.com for the use of this website.

Cards only
The Canberra Miniature Railway is now a cashless venue - cash no longer accepted. Please bring your card/device.

Times & Facilities
Your tickets are valid for the entire time that we're open - you do not need to arrive at the advertised start time. Parking, toilets and disabled facilities are provided.

Cancellation policy
If you cancel: Refunds requested before the event will be accepted. Regrettably, 'no shows' and refunds requested after the event are ineligible.
If we cancel: If we are forced to cancel the entire session (likely to be for bad weather only) refunds will be processed for all ticket holders. Once the session has begun, refunds will only be available in exceptional circumstances.
Please note: The Trybooking ticket fee (50c per ticket) is not within our control and is not refundable under any condition. We refund all monies we receive.

Entry
Because the lights are part of the entertainment, ALL PERSONS ENTERING THE SITE MUST HAVE OR BUY A TICKET (see 'Small Children' below for exceptions). THERE IS NO FREE ENTRY FOR NIGHT SESSIONS. All tickets include entry and unlimited rides.

Ticket prices
Unlimited ride tickets can be purchased here for $15 (plus the website’s 88c booking fee) at any time from now, including while we’re open on the night. When buying tickets make sure you select the correct date! Tickets bought over the counter at the ticket box are slightly more expensive at $18.

Small children
1. Children aged two and under enter and ride for free but must be accompanied on trains by a fare-paying responsible person with his or her own ticket. Get your child’s free ticket at the ticket box upon presentation of the child. PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS, CHILDREN AGED 2 AND UNDER (WHO ARE ENTITLED TO FREE TICKETS) ARE NOT PERMITTED TO RIDE ON OUR 5″ GROUND LEVEL TRAINS (THE LITTLE TRAINS) AT ALL. They can still ride our big trains and our steam locomotives on our elevated track. This restriction is lifted when the child turns 3.

2. Children shorter than our height indicators (approx 1.4 metres) cannot ride alone and must be accompanied by a fare-paying responsible person. These indicators are at the ticket box and the station platforms.

3. There are no adult or child tickets – just unlimited ride tickets and except for children aged two or under, every person requires one of these to enter the site and ride the trains.

4. All children must be seated (not held in arms) in front of an older responsible person.

IMPORTANT
Any person wishing to ride the trains MUST WEAR ENCLOSED FOOTWEAR. No open-toe shoes, thongs, flip-flops, etc. are permitted on the trains. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU AND ALL OF YOUR GUESTS ARE AWARE OF THIS as there can be no refunds if you wear the wrong footwear.
