Archer Park Rail Museum

We loved our visit here soaking in how travelling by trains was done in a bygone era and all the effort needed to make it happen! This railway station was constructed in the same architecturally pleasing style as the ones in Mt Morgan, Emerald, and Longreach. There are plenty of volunteers around to answer any questions and do guided tours for groups. There is a Cafe on-site to provide refreshments if required. Allow at least an hour to enjoy this experience.

If like me, you luv trains and trams, then you will be in Nirvana here. ✅ An awesome museum, where you can literally get hands-on with the exhibits, climbing aboard decommissioned trains and trams, as well as related operating systems, at this beautifully presented retired station. Just fantastic and I will be back ... 🚃 🚂

Great staff and lots to look to at. The steam tram was well worth a look. It doesn’t go very far week days, if you want to ride the tram your better to go on the weekend.

Visited this small cosy museum on my 50th birthday. Had the fun of sitting in a steam engine driven tram that's about 100 years old! It was a short 10mins ride up and down the short track but mades me feeling excited like a kid. LOL.. the rest of the exhibits were old but worth reading about some of the station's history. Go only on Sunday if you want a ride on the tram.

A great railway museum housed in a former railway station. Features the only operational steam tram in Australia

The volunteers have really put their all into this place. Beautiful displays and very clever soundscape on the platform with life like models. My kids loved the ride on the tram. A well spent morning in Rockhampton.

Very interesting museum that celebrates the history of trains and trams in Rockhampton. There are a lot of interactive activities, including a ride on a historic tram (only on Sundays, I believe). Tour guides offer more insight to the exhibits.

This is a nice museum with amazingly preserved pieces of history. Nearly in the heart of Rockhampton, inside the railway station you will discover how the trains of the area operated over the centuries and what it meant for the growth of the town. Staff members looking after the place are always smiling and passionate about this important place. Enjoy taking a look at what the inside of the carriages used to be and get a fantastic photo of sitting in the train driver's seat! Lastly, have a ride on the tram cart that travels through the town, lots of fun for the family.
