Kids love the train ride and there's a very nice museum next to it with old trains and vehicles.
Our family had an absolutely delightful first visit to Whiteman Park, especially taking a ride on the trains. We went on the first hottest day of spring and still thoroughly enjoyed exploring the park's various features. Our 4-year-old son, who's a budding train enthusiast, was thrilled beyond words.
I have to say, the staff at the train stations were both knowledgeable and captivating when we inquired about the trains. Being a building inspector, I couldn't help but notice the impressive condition of the stations, especially considering their age and the fact that they've been relocated. It's quite an accomplishment.
The train ride itself was charming. Sure, the seats are old-fashioned timber, but it's not about comfort—it's about the immersive experience, which was fantastic. And as for the park's appearance, we had no issue with it being a bit on the dry side. This is Western Australia. After all; not every inch of the landscape can be a lush, green oasis.
Our son was so sad when it was time to leave, which pretty much says it all. We're already planning to return next week for another round of fun. Highly recommended!!

Best place to go to during the months where there’s steam train. If im not wrong, the steam trains only operate between the months of May and September.
Our steam loco had abit of hiccup along the way, but was saved by the highly experienced crew.
A true steam train experience!

A fabulous place for train lover. Now it’s diesel train season, the steamer will begin in end of May. Children below 4 are free. And the ticket is unlimited ride for a single day. Worth it, especially last ride, many kangaroos came out.
$10 for adults and it’s unlimited ride during the day. There are not that many seats on the train but not that squishy. Excellent view and it only takes 20mins for a ride. Didn’t see that many kangaroos as other commenters but saw one! Recommended to come for a ride then go to Caversham wildlife park afterwards it’s okay 5mins drive.
Adults $10.00; Seniors $8.00; Children (4-14yrs) $5.00
Operates SAT + SUN + SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
Excellent ride, forget about kids, a best experience of real passenger train service can be experienced by adults and recall childhood memories to talk about with kids.
Both open and Cabin compartments available. Open will be bit windy (depends on when you visit).
Parking is just in front of the train station.

We had an absolutely wonderful time riding the little train around Whiteman Park! My son is 2 and this was exactly perfect for him. I have an older daughter who is 5 and she saw our videos and is excited to do this too! Can't recommend this experience enough! The guys running the train are very warm and friendly and had such great energy - they really made this an extra great day for us!
Really loved the train ride and how lovely the staff were. The Western Australian landscape is unfortunately very dry and rather boring so there isn't much to see, did catch a couple of roos and there is some more dense and lush scrub about halfway in. Seats are quite hard and you end up a bit sore after awhile. Carrages are nicely covered so there is shade. The prices and deals are great and worth the investment for a fun trip around the park. 5 stars based mostly on how great the volunteers were.
