Zig Zag Railway – A Dog-Friendly Day Out

A great day is even better when your four-legged friend can come along. At Zig Zag Railway, we know dogs are part of the family, which is why we’re proud to welcome them to our Clarence station, making it a fantastic stop for visitors exploring the beautiful Blue Mountains region with their whole family.

Zig Zag Railway offers plenty to enjoy for the whole family. Explore the Blue Mountains and check out a unique heritage attraction on your next getaway. Wander the station, soak up the railway history, browse the gift shop, and take in the mountain views, all alongside your dog.

To help ensure everyone has an enjoyable visit, dogs are welcome within the Clarence station, but must always be on a leash and supervised at all times. We ask that owners clean up after their pets using the bags and bins provided. These simple guidelines will allow us to help create a safe and welcoming environment for all guests. Assistance animals are welcome aboard all regular train services when accompanying the person they assist.

Zig Zag Railway has become one of the Blue Mountains’ most popular heritage attractions. We offer visitors the chance to experience the sights, sounds, and nostalgia of historic rail travel. From beautifully restored locomotives to spectacular mountain scenery, it’s a destination that appeals to every family whether your railway enthusiasts, photographers, nature lovers, or just looking for a great way to spend your afternoon.

Throughout the year, Zig Zag Railway also hosts a variety of special events, including selected experiences that allow dogs to travel onboard the train, giving pet owners even more opportunities to share unforgettable memories with their furry friends.

Whether you’re visiting for the history, the scenery, a special event, or simply looking for a dog-friendly destination to add to your Blue Mountains itinerary, Zig Zag Railway offers a memorable experience for every member of the family, two-legged and four-legged alike.
