Head to The Station Newcastle (the old Newcastle Train Station) for some fun with kids.
Families can explore the site and enjoy all that it has to offer including the Steam Flyer, misting jets, kids play area and a Newy with Kids scavenger hunt!
The kids play area is perfect for little ones. It features a huge snake, a frog, balancing obstacles and sensory flowers.

The snake is pretty large and realistic and may induce tears among some kids (and adults).
We’ve heard different names for this snake including Monty (as in Python), William Snakespeare, Professor Severus Snake and Beau (as in Boa Constrictor)!

Kids can test their balance on vertical logs or walk along the balance beam.


If your kids love handball, bring a ball and play on the handball squares.

You can also bring transport, as there is a scooter track that is perfect for preschoolers on bikes and scooters There’s plenty of space for them to cruise up and down.

The misting jets are a great feature when it’s hot, and you and your kids won’t be able to resist going through them.

You can also bring a picnic to The Station as it has lots of space and is a top spot for a meetup or picnic.

You can also check out the retail shops at The Station including Make Space, Betty Loves Books and Jaya and the Lion.

There are always great events happening too so check out The Station Newcastle website for all the details. The Station is located at the corner of Watt and Scott Street in Newcastle.
