Ngongotaha Railway Park

We at the Rotorua Ngongotaha Rail Trust are dedicated to operating a rail park for the people of the district and visitors to our community. The Rotorua Ngongotaha Rail Trust – consists of a 10 acre Rail Heritage and Railway Theme Park, it runs adjacent to the State Highway 36 in the centre of Ngongotaha township, which is 5 kms north of Rotorua. Currently we have just over 85 local, national and international Friends of the Trust and Volunteers who have contributed thousands of volunteer hours assisting in the administration and restoration of our local and national heritage seven days per week. We also have local iwi, community groups, businesses and schools, volunteering large number of hours helping to develop and maintain the grounds.. The Rail Theme Park is open weekends and Public Holidays and through the week by appointment weather permitting. The Park offers train rides, bouncy loco’s, museum displays, operational model railway displays, and a hobby supply shop called Platform Three, all of which are enjoyed by young and old alike. We also offer to host birthday parties and other special event functions. The Ngongotaha Rotorua Rail Trust Park has a great Miniature Railway ride for the whole family.We run every fine weekend, public holidays, plus three weeks over christmas, weather permitting. We have some great plans to extend the Miniature Railway ride with completely new track.
