Unparalleled views of Blue Mountains, Jamison Valley, Three Sisters, and more!

Experience the 510-meter high Cableway ride

Get ready for an epic 510-meter plunge into Jamison Valley on the Scenic Cableway! The cableway takes steep rides to a whole new level – cruise down in a comfy, enclosed cabin with up to 83 fellow adventurers and some jaw-dropping views.

Ride the steepest passenger railway in the world!

Imagine riding a train down a cliff at an angle almost as steep as a ski slope! That's what makes the Scenic Railway so special. As you descend you'll be treated to incredible views of the Jamison Valley rainforest and sandstone cliffs.

Learn the history behind the attractions

During your visit to Scenic World, you’ll learn how geological forces sculpted the landscape, discover the Aboriginal connection to the land, and see how a coal mine transformed into an adventure park.

Your Scenic World experience: Railway, Skyway, and more!

Scenic railway

You’re guaranteed to have the most unique experience here, as the Scenic Railway is the steepest railway in the world! The ride feels more like a drop tower than a railway, but worry not! You’ll be extremely safe, as this comes with seatbelts, crack-safe glass windows and handles.

Scenic skyway

This experience is one of a kind – Scenic Skyway suspends you 270 meters above Jamison Valley with incredible views. A section of the floor is actually clear, letting you see straight down through the rainforest! Spacious cabins hold up to 84 people, so you can comfortably enjoy sights like the Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls.

Scenic walkway

This 2.4km elevated path winds through the rainforest canopy, letting you get up close to ancient trees and native plants. Keep an eye out for colorful birds and learn about the area's fascinating mining history along the way.

Scenic World cableway

Take a 510-meter descent into Jamison Valley. Enclosed cabins comfortably seat 83 adventurers, providing classic cable car views of sandstone cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and the iconic Three Sisters.

What does “skip-the-line” mean?

Skip-the-line tickets let you avoid the ticket-purchase queue at Scenic World. With an e-ticket (mobile or print), you proceed to the entry/checkpoint and bypass the long ticket office lines. Note: all guests still pass mandatory security and safety checks; ride queues and short wait times at each attraction may still apply during peak periods.

How long are the queues at Scenic World?

  • Ticket office queue: Peak (weekends & school holidays). Expect 30–60 minutes if buying on site; skip-the-line avoids this.
  • Entry/security check: Typical 5–20 minutes depending on crowding. This is mandatory for everyone.
  • Ride queues: Even with skip entry, individual ride waits (Railway/Skyway/Cableway) can form during peak; plan 2–3 hours if you want to do all rides and the boardwalk.
    Tip: Arrive early (opening or soon after) or choose weekday slots to reduce queue time.
