Glide along the tracks as we celebrate transport milestones within Canterbury. From the first railway line in New Zealand to the ferry mooring where early settlers boarded the ferry that led to the promise of a new home in Christchurch.

Ferrymead was the hub for early travel and we are excited to welcome you to share these transport milestones found right here at the park. Make a day of it at our extravaganza and come ride the tram or travel the tracks of the first railway line in New Zealand.

Enjoy bouncy castles, face painting, ponies and so much more adding to your trip back in time.
