Up North on the Island of Berk, the young Viking, Hiccup, wants to join his town's fight against the dragons that continually raid their town. However, his macho father and village leader, Stoik the Vast, will not allow his small, clumsy, but inventive son to do so. Regardless, Hiccup ventures out into battle and downs a mysterious Night Fury dragon with his invention, but can't bring himself to kill it. Instead, Hiccup and the dragon, whom he dubs Toothless, begin a friendship that would open up both their worlds as the observant boy learns that his people have misjudged the species. But even as the two each take flight in their own way, they find that they must fight the destructive ignorance plaguing their world. Based on the book by Cressida Cowell.

Free admission!

Viewing this impressive building from the exterior is a memorable experience, but nothing can compare to being escorted through its history by a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. You'll learn about railway heritage, stand where the Stationmaster used to stand, walk in the footsteps of thousands of passengers from yesteryear, and absorb the historic ambiance of this proud structure.

Station Tours are always free, but if you feel you would like to contribute to our ongoing restoration program or get involved the 'Buy a Brick' campaign, please talk to your guide, who will provide instructions on how to do so.

We have plenty of free parking, so you never have to worry about finding a spot.

If you would like a souvenir of your visit, we have plenty on site, and you can also visit our fully stocked Gift Shop for Station and Railway Memorabilia at 691 Talbot Street - just a short walk across the street from the Station, so you don't have to take your vehicle if you don't want to.
