Welcome to Play Central, Rail Workshops recently refurbished indoor adventure playground.

Create endless rail adventures on the new interactive railway with miniature places to visit for hours of fun and active play. Suitable for children of all ages.

Things to see and do for the kids:

  • All aboard a kid-sized train to practice your train driving skills.
  • Move and control signals and boom gates at level crossings.
  • Sell tickets at Central Station.
  • Move goods from the Workshops Wharf to the goods yard.
  • Climb into the train carriage at the Country Station.
  • Climb up into the signal box to see the area and change the signal.
  • Chill out at the play tables and build your own network from the wooden railway sets.

Play Central has over 425m2 of soft-fall flooring and plenty of room to explore.

Parental supervision is required at all times, but for best results – join in the fun as well!
