In years gone by we have done the Thomas at Puffing Billy experience. Not the cheapest day out but lots of character trains and buses and people and activities and it was fantastic. I’m a bit sad we’ve outgrown Thomas now.

Seems to be really popular.
If it were me w/ young kids I’d hit up the thomas the tank engine, then skip queenscliff, head to point lonsdale, fish n’ chips place opposite the new playground (also very popular w/ kiddos), and if you time it right w/ the tide and weather the rockpools and war bunkers near the lighthouse (also extremely popular w/ kiddos). Queenscliff itself is a bit boring for kids.

Definitely noting this down as an itinerary for a day trip
