ABOUT
The Canberra Miniature Railway is holding its Easter extravaganza, one of our most popular events of the year. Rides run between 5pm and 9pm so start in the daylight and end in the dark under lights, but the big hits are the two Easter egg hunts: 6pm (for ages 5 and under ONLY) and 6:30pm (for ages 6 and above), where there are 5000 Easter eggs to grab! A great fun event not to be missed.

NOTE: Every person entering the site must have a ticket (but children aged 2 and under are free). Tickets includes entry, unlimited rides, the light shows, and for children the Easter egg grabs. Rides are for everyone but the egg grabs are for CHILDREN ONLY - they're not for you adults! For safety reasons, children shorter than our measuring sticks (about 1.4 m) must ride trains with an adult. ENCLOSED FOOTWEAR IS REQUIRED (no thongs, sandals, etc).

TICKETS SELL OUT SO DON'T MUCK ABOUT!

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

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

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.

Entry
Because the lights and eggs are part of the entertainment, EVERY PERSON ENTERING THE SITE MUST HAVE OR BUY A TICKET (except children aged 2 or under - see Small Children below). There is no free entry to this event.

Ticket prices
Tickets can be purchased online at trybooking.com/eventlist/CMR for $15 (plus the website’s 88c booking fee) at any time from now, including while we’re open on the day. 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. Every ticket includes entry, unlimited rides and (for children only) participation in ONE of the Easter egg grabs: 6pm for ages 5 and under and 6:30pm for ages 6 and over.

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. 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.

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 EVERYONE IN YOUR GROUP IS AWARE OF THIS as there can be no refunds if you wear the wrong footwear.
