The BioHax Take
Scenic World isn’t just one of those tick-box tourist spots. It’s an engineered immersion into the guts of the Blue Mountains — all cliffs, mist, and Jurassic vibes — but delivered with sky rails, rainforest walkways, and the world’s steepest railway (seriously, 52°).
One minute you're dangling 270 metres above the Jamison Valley with glass floors beneath your feet, and the next you’re zipping through ancient rainforest in a red carriage that feels part theme park, part time machine. Add Aboriginal storytelling, glow-in-the-dark Gruffalo trails, and a cable car that floats like it's on a movie set, and you’ve got a clean-air, high-altitude dopamine cocktail for all ages.
Who It’s For
-
Urban dwellers who need to feel small again (in a good way)
-
Wellness types who swapped spin classes for forest walks
-
Families with fearless kids and strong snack game
-
Couples chasing high-altitude romance
-
Anyone who likes their nature with a little architecture
What’s On Offer
– Scenic Railway: The steepest railway in the world — short, sharp, and slightly terrifying in the best way
– Scenic Skyway: Glide above canyons and waterfalls with 360° views (glass floor optional, courage required)
– Scenic Cableway: Smooth, sweeping ride down into the valley with sweeping views of Mount Solitary
– Scenic Walkway: A 500m rainforest boardwalk through ancient temperate jungle, complete with info stations and lyrebird sightings
– Unlimited Discovery Pass: Ride all the rides, walk all the walks, feel like a local
– Buunyal Aboriginal Cultural Experience: A powerful, family-friendly First Nations storytelling and art walk — grounding, moving, necessary
– Explorer Bus Combo: Hop on/off access around the entire region — from Echo Point to bush trails and lookouts
– Seasonal Events: Think Dinosaur Valley with life-sized animatronics or The Gruffalo Spotters Trail for kids (and adults with a camera roll to fill)
