Bushtown's miniature railway rides happen from 1–3pm on the second Sunday of each month.
What is Bushtown Heritage Park?
It's a seven-hectare heritage attraction telling the story of Waimate’s timber-milling history and the people who worked among the huge tōtara forests that once surrounded the town.
There’s plenty to explore:
Take a ride on the miniature train – $2 (cash only, no EFTPOS)
Wander through the Edwardian cottages
Walk among the tōtara – now tall enough that they’re starting to form a canopy of their own
There are bikes and other outdoor toys for the kids to enjoy
