“Departing from the platform adjacent to the Moonta Mines Museum, the Moonta Mines Tourist Railway is a guided tour of the historic Moonta Mines State Heritage Area.”

Featuring extensive commentary from local drivers, passengers are taken past many historic landmarks of the former mining operations, including the reservoir, ore sorting floors, and through a tunnel in Ryans Tailings Heap. It visits the former Precipitation Works, which was set up in 1900 to recover additional copper from the tailings heaps, a process which continued until 1943.

Bookings are not required for individuals. Board the Tourist Train adjacent to the Museum. Tickets can be purchased at the Tourist Office or Museum via EFTPOS or cash. Tickets can also be purchased on board the train (cash only).

School holiday times in summer don't commence until December 26th for all of our venues.

During extreme weather conditions the train will run at driver's discretion (temp 37c & over / very wet weather). Check with Tourist Office on the morning of your trip for confirmation.
