Buckinghamshire Railway Centre

A good day out that kept a 4 year old plenty interested. There is lots of history to see and it isn't too widely separated. However, the site is rather haphazardly laid out and restored though all the paths, buildings and bridges are very well maintained. Needs a good project manager! The food was not nice, though not expensive, and I'd recommend bringing your own. There are plenty of picnic tables around the site. The coffee was good though!

Absolutely superb! Unfortunately we went on a day that the steam engine had broken down but they offered us half of our money back straight away which was lovely. Staff were lovely and friendly and myself and my daughter felt very welcomed. The cafe was reasonably priced as was the gift shop and it was all lovely and clean. Great day out for the whole family and I will definitely be going again.

Visited on a Bank Holiday, while a Rallye was in full swing. A good place to visit with many attractions to see. The station contains a well stocked shop, a lovely cafe with both indoor/outdoor seating and exhibits to sit amongst. In my opinion the entry price is a little high, but I understand this goes towards the upkeep of the buildings and exhibits. Lovely coffee, good sausage rolls and okay sandwiches. Large steam locomotives, smaller ride-on and garden railways with a viewing platform for children to watch the smaller engines whizzing around the tracks. Go and visit to keep this place alive. It needs volunteers and members if you fancy becoming part of something with much history, lovely people and having some fun at the weekend, (or weekday if you have some time)!

If you are into Railways and Railway history you will enjoy this. Kids enjoyed the short ride on the steam train as well as the miniature Railway ride. Didn't see it mentioned on the website but costs £1.50 each extra. Overall a good day out with the grandkids.

Decided to go here for an afternoon out as they advertised dinosaurs, and my daughter loves dinosaurs. Plenty of parking Plenty of picnic areas Prices in the cafe seemed okay, although we only had ice cream. Staff were all friendly enough Toilets dotted about which were clean From what I could see, it is disabled friendly with the majority of areas being flat and a wheel chair lift at one of the bridges. The place itself has plenty to see but not a great deal to do. The miniature train ride was nice for little ones. The big steam train doesn't go very far up the track, but it is an experience if not experienced previously. The dinosaur meet wasn't very well organised, and the dinosaur training didn't seem to happen whilst we were there (1:45-close). but it was nice that they allowed the time for photos to be taken with anyone who wanted one. I saw another visitor complaining to the manager about something. I agree that everyone has the right to complain, but the visitor was very rude. The manager was very calm and tried to reason with the visitor. After a little while, he asked the visitor to stop and walk away. He then walked away himself. He handled the situation well when others would have had the visitor kicked out. Well done for keeping composure and letting a grumpy man go about his day. Another bigger playarea, cheaper child's tickets, and some shaded seating would be a nice improvement. All in all, I'd say it's worth a visit and makes a nice day/afternoon out.
