Great little railway. Visited off peak (weekday in September) and a single steam train was still running! Staff were friendly, train was smart and well presented and the journey was amazing, shame about the Welsh weather though! Dogs allowed (£2) and an adult return (£10) was well priced too!

Cute little train ride along the lake, some beautiful views, it lasts about an hour, several departures throughout the day. Nice little cafe and gift shop as well. Playground for the kids. The train ride is dog friendly as well.
Well worth the fare. Excellent photo opportunity on journey. Stop off and visit the slate museum on the way back.
Cute train journey near a lake. It’s lasts around 1 hour and the view is beautiful. The staff on the train is very friendly.
There is several departures each day. Check on their website the timetable to not wait too much time at the station.
The ticket is quite cheap, it’s great value for money!
Don't confuse with Snowdon mountain railway. This is a simple, gentle run around the edge of Lake Padarn. Leaves from slate museum. About one hour in total. Good lakeside views. Short stop at middle of run.
Lovely day out. Beautiful views, very reasonably priced, traditional carriage per family and dog friendly.
Train driver was very friendly and stopped a couple of times giving us photo opportunities and chance to grab a drink from the picnic spot
School holidays so had 2 of our grandsons for the day. Both love trains so we looked for somewhere we hadn't been before to take them. The boys loved the train & scenic route along the lake. Lovely cafe there too with a range of both cooked meals & snacks etc all reasonably priced. No doubt we will return again in the summer 🌞
Nice little railway. We turned up and opted for the 12:15 train. The station entrance/ticket sales area was clean and tidy, the gift shop well stocked and the cafe had seating indoors and out.
There is a play area for the children on the platform, along with a display shed which shows the history of the line.
Each coach compartment of the train is sectioned off with plexiglass. The seats are wooden and your round trip journey will take about 1 hour.
There are some superb views over the lake and of Snowdon.
The staff are friendly and approachable.
I would recommend a visit, not only for the scenery, but also for the sight, sound, and smell of an age gone by.
Lovely little steam railway that runs round the beautiful lake and by the slate mine and slate museum. We went on a rainy day, so didnt stop for a picnic, but would have if dry. A nice chilled ride on a train, out of the rain. Then a good explore of the slate museum which was fred and very interesting. Lovely gift shops at both places.
Worth a trip on the small steam-engine train. Not too expensive and a nice trip along the lake for around twenty minutes, then back. Around 45 minutes to an hour with the stops.
