Canberra Railway Museum

All aboard! Travel back in time to the golden age of rail travel, at Canberra Railway Museum!

Based in Kingston, one of Canberra’s oldest suburbs and once its industrial heart, the museum’s exhibits will take you through over 100 years of history. The Australian Capital Territory has a deep connection to the railways, and you can learn all about it here!

You can board the footplate of steam locomotive 1210, which brought the first train to Canberra in 1914! Step inside a carriage that’s hauled politicians to Parliament, wounded soldiers to hospitals, and skiers to the Snowy Mountains. Or learn about the curious and macabre connection between the railways and a Canberran church…

The museum is open every Sunday from 10am-3pm, as well as various special events throughout the year!

Admission is $10 for adults, $7.50 for concessions, and $5 for children (5-15 years)
