Steamtown is currently temporarily closed, and we know this has been a great disappointment to many. Please know that we truly understand how much Steamtown means to our community and visitors ❤️

We are working towards reopening, and when we do, it will be under a new system designed to help us operate more smoothly and create an even better experience for everyone. Sorting this out is taking some time, but it’s important to us that when we reopen, we do it properly.

A lot of changes have been happening behind the scenes, and while we can’t share everything just yet, we’re excited to surprise our Steamtown fans with what’s to come — including how and when things will operate moving forward.

Please don’t give up hope. We deeply appreciate all the support, patience, and encouragement you’ve shown us. Our team is working tirelessly to improve and reopen as soon as we can.

We apologise for the quiet period on this page — with the holidays and a lot happening as we organise our reopening, it’s been a busy time.
👉 Please keep following the page for updates, and thank you again for standing by us. We can’t wait to welcome you back when the time comes 🚂✨
