Conwy Valley Railway Museum

Visited in August 2019 on my Wales holiday. I spent a day in Betws-y-Coed and walked around to see as much as I can. The model shop or museum is next to the railway station, the entry ticket is a lovely old style paper ticket to let us behind the shop. It is very small, but definitely interesting and full with old models, built up whole villages and many of them is interactive with different buttons to push. Not just models but everything related to old fashioned railways and travels are pretty much can be found here, so it is a nostalgia journey. That time only me and a male visitor were in the room, but we both enjoyed to play around. There are toilets on site, and in the shop we can buy gifts. Cafe is in the station, parking is on the street, or one of the main car parks in the village.

Been here a few times over the past 35 years.Sadly looking a little run down nowadays, most of the layouts in the museum are not working, the miniature railway is still great fun though and well worth the fare.I believe the place is for sale, I think with a little love and lots of paint it could be a great attraction again.

This is a small museum with a few rail set ups. It is only £2 per adult but sadly, most of the set ups did not work when the buttons were pressed to activate them. If the set ups ran as stated it would be well worth a visit.

An interesting place to visit more suited to people who are into model railways and children.You can go on a mini train which is a separate cost to going round the museum. The cost todo both is only about 5 pounds so not a great amount.

Really good dioramas made by one man showing different aspects of the railways. A lot of artifacts from all the railways, showing interesting information if you read the exhibits. A very fine model of 70000, possibly the best I have seen to date, I hope it is steamed again. A very nice little museum.

Was really lovely to support a clearly old and traditional business. The journey on the small train was the best and was a lovely experience. It was nice to walk around the museum but a lot of the railways or moving parts didn’t work anymore which was a shame. Just needed a bit of love and care and would become a great attraction.

Really cute miniature steam railway for £2.50pp. Great for a grandparent and child to ride together - only 8 mimutes long and smiles gauranteed.But...What is with all the negative signage???

The little train was very good value, the surrounding areas and village is beautiful. But the museum itself is in need of a clean, and a dust and a lot of updating! It's was only a few pound. But only one model train moved, it needs a really good redesign and updating. Such a shame as everything else in the area is super cute and quaint. This is just too outdated

Really enjoyed the day out. We rode on the little steam train, which was reasonably priced for the length of the trip. The railway museum was interesting. We loved the buttons you can press to make the trains move around the scenes.
