Scenic World blue mountains.....Discover another world.
Scenic World blue mountains is suitable for visitors of all ages; it is located near the Three Sisters at Katoomba, less than two hours by rail or road from Sydney. Did you know that the Scenic Skyway with its world first Electro-Sceni Glass floor completes the trip over to the other side of the valley to a viewing platform? This amazing ride takes in all of the iconic views of the Blue Mountains World Heritage Wilderness including the Three Sisters, Moutn Solitary, The Jamison Velley and Katoomba Falls.
From high over the valley the Cableway descends smoothly into the ancient rainforest of the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains. The Scenic Railway is the world's steepest incline railway, descending 415 metres down the escarpment at a maximum grade of 52 degrees. This thrilling and unique ride passes through an 80 metre tunnel and a sunlit tree clad gorge, before resting at the bottom station in the valley.
The bottom platform of the Scenic Railway is connected by a 390 metre boardwalk to the Cableway bottom station. The boardwalk passes through a temperate rainforest and also passes the entrances to the old coal mines, where you can view an audio visual display and imagine the life of a miner living in the valley at the turn of the century. Beyond the Cableway bottom station you can walk a further 700 meters to the rainforest room, which is located deep in the valley. Altogether Scenic World has over two and a half kilometers of elevated timber walkways affording visitors of all levels of fitness and ability to enjoy the World Heritage Wilderness that make the Blue Mountains so famous.
Scenic World also has a restaurant with a revolving floor, a new cafe and viewing area, a souvenir shop, a free carpark and a 100 seat cinema.
