Yaroslavl children's railway, Children's railway in Yaroslavl, Russia.
The Yaroslavl children's railway operates small trains on narrow-gauge tracks with a 750-millimeter gauge, designed specifically for young passengers and their families. The line features modest stations and a manageable route suitable for children.
The railway was founded in 1970 as an educational institution to teach children about train operations. It has shaped recreational and learning activities for regional children for many decades.
Children work as conductors and ticket checkers here, learning hands-on how a railway operates. This hands-on experience gives them real insights into how trains and stations function.
The railway runs on regular schedules during the warmer months, with tickets available at the station entrance. It is best to visit on weekends when more trains operate and staff are available to help.
Many visitors do not realize that children actually work as train drivers, conductors, and station staff, not just riding as passengers. This makes the experience far more than just a train ride.
