Young Engineers 2026

Enjoy some weekday fun with your Young Engineer at one of our toddler/preschooler days!

The Young Engineers experience is a scaled down version of a day at Whistlestop Valley with your mini-me in mind:

• Return steam train ride to Cuckoo's Nest only (total journey time of 20 minutes) - can travel unlimited times if availability allows
• Unlimited rides on the Clayton Flyer miniature railway
• Unlimited access to the playground at Clayton West
• Unlimited access to The Pillow (covered jumping pillow)
• Unlimited access to The Cozy Cabin (DVD screening/Toys/Indoor Picnic Area)
• Unlimited access to The Crazy Golf
• Unlimited access to the Pedal Cars
• The shop will be open for those pocket money purchases
• The Firebox Cafe will be open serving a reduced menu, drinks & snacks (limited hot food items only)
• Access to our outdoor picnic area (please note your own food cannot be consumed inside the cafe). 
• Reduced capacities 

All this is available for just £6.95 per person for visitors aged one & above (babies under the age of 12 months go FREE).

You can spend a day out with us without spending a fortune.

You can arrive at any time from your entrance slot (10am or 11am) and are welcome to stay until we close at 3.00pm.

Trains to Cuckoo's Nest will depart at quarter past & quarter to each hour from 10.15am until 2.15pm. Journeys & seats will be unallocated, you may travel as many times as you like throughout the day depending on availability on each service. As such, if a service is full to capacity, you may have to wait to take the next service instead.  Seats will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Health & Safety:

Children under the age of 16 MUST be sat in a carriage with a responsible adult
