Do you have a child who loves trains? Then climb aboard at the Iron Horse Mini Train Park in Airdrie! This park is all about miniature trains that represent the Canadian Pacific Railway in the west. A 1/8‑scale locomotive will carry you along a scenic 1.6 km journey through tunnels, over trestles, and across prairie-inspired landscapes, for a one-of-a-kind railway adventure.
Beyond the tracks, the park offers a peaceful, natural setting where families can slow down and enjoy the outdoors. Listen for birds in the trees, spot local wildlife, and take in the quiet beauty that makes this hidden gem feel like a true escape—right in Airdrie. Pack a picnic or buy snacks in the full-size replica CPR station, and make a day of it.
Looking for something truly memorable? Iron Horse Park is also a unique and increasingly popular spot for birthday parties, picnics, and special events. Hosted on Sundays during public run days (mid-May to mid-October), celebrations can be booked from 11 AM – 1 PM and 2 – 4 PM in one of several dedicated areas. It’s a birthday experience kids will never forget!
Open every Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM (weather permitting), it’s an easy, affordable outing the whole family will love—with free admission and low-cost rides that make it simple to stay and play a little longer. Ticket sales end at 3:30 PM, with the last train departing at 3:45 PM.
With fresh air, nostalgic charm, and hands-on fun, Iron Horse Park is the perfect reason to start close, stay longer, and make Airdrie part of your family’s weekend tradition.
