Great experience
We had a wonderful time on the Mary Valley Rattler. My 5 & 2 year old sons love trains so purposely went on the trip for them but we all had a blast! All the train attendants were super lovely and helpful and our carriage supervisor was super informative and engaging. Highly recommend the trip!

Awesome Steam Train Ride
We took our 2 year old son for a trip on the Rattler. He loved it and his excitement made it so much more enjoyable for us and other guests near us. A must do if you’re in Gympie. All the staff in the cafe and volunteers on the train are wonderful. A real credit to the operation.
