Blue Mountains National Park: Scenic World Pass

About this experience

Book Scenic World Pass tickets in the Blue Mountains The Scenic World Pass is your day ticket to Scenic World in Katoomba, the cliff-top attraction in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains. One pass covers all four experiences: the Scenic Skyway, the Scenic Railway, the Scenic Walkway and the Scenic Cableway. You can ride as often as you like on the day of your visit, and leave and come back before closing time. Book a date and session time on this page. Your session time gives you a 30-minute window to arrive and check in. After that you can explore at your own pace until Scenic World closes. What the Scenic World Pass includes Scenic Skyway: a return journey between the cliff tops, 270 metres above the ancient rainforest, with views of Katoomba Falls, the Three Sisters, Mount Solitary and the Jamison Valley. Scenic Railway: a descending ride on the world's steepest passenger railway, down through a rock tunnel into the valley. Scenic Walkway: about 10 minutes on the elevated rainforest boardwalk between the Railway and the Cableway, with longer 30- and 50-minute loops if you want more time among the tree ferns. Scenic Cableway: an ascending journey back up the escarpment, with another angle on the Three Sisters. Transport to Katoomba and food and drink are not included. Planning your Scenic World visit The core circuit of rides and the short boardwalk takes about 1 hour 15 minutes, but Scenic World recommends allowing two to three hours for a relaxed visit. Each ride lasts a few minutes and departs roughly every 10 minutes. On busy days, especially weekends and school holidays, queues can reach 40 to 60 minutes, and you need to leave each ride at its station and queue again to reboard. Scenic World is open every day of the year. As a general guide it is open from 10am to 4pm on weekdays and from 9am to 5pm on weekends, NSW school holidays and public holidays, and last rides leave the top station about 20 minutes before closing. The Railway, Skyway and Cableway cabins are enclosed, so the rides run in the rain, but mountain weather changes quickly and a warm layer is a good idea. Getting to Scenic World in Katoomba Scenic World is on the corner of Violet Street and Cliff Drive in Katoomba, about two hours west of Sydney. There is free parking in the multi-storey car park, with a 2-metre height limit. The site is cashless, so bring a card. The Terrace Cafe and the EATS270 restaurant sell food and drinks if you want to stay for lunch with a view. Prams and strollers can go on the Skyway, the Cableway and parts of the boardwalk, but not on the Railway. This pass is not listed as wheelchair accessible because the Scenic Railway involves stairs, although Scenic World says the Skyway, the Cableway and the 10-minute boardwalk can be used by wheelchair users.

The Blue Mountains hop-on hop-off bus with an optional Scenic World pass links the main lookouts around Katoomba, and the Blue Mountains day tour from Sydney with Scenic World and Featherdale adds Featherdale Wildlife Park and a river cruise.
