By land and by sea, the Railway Coastal Museum highlights the history of Newfoundland rail-and-nautical services. The museum sits inside the 110-year-old Newfoundland Railway station, which is at the beginning of the Trans Canada Trail and the original railway route. Visitors can explore the old platform, a restored 1940s train car, and the stories of the people and events that shaped Newfoundland's past. Along with these railway-themed exhibits, the museum showcases the efforts of the Newfoundlanders who created the Coastal Services passenger, mail, and freight routes.

Happy shrieks drift through the brushy pines of Marine Park’s 1,000-acre estate, wafting from campgrounds and the slate-blue waters of Herring Cove Pond. On the private beaches, warm-skinned guests cut through the afternoon sun on rented paddleboats or scream down 40-foot-tall waterslides. Lodgers park RVs or set up tents on secluded campsites equipped with fresh water from an artesian well, or use a mini-golf course for practice or attempts to trick Tiger Woods into thinking he has become a giant.

Plaza Bowl entertains families, parties, and leagues as balls hurtle down lanes to crash into five-pin clusters. The ample space can accommodate up to 216 bowlers or 216,000 bowling trophies at a time as they chuck spheroids down the hardwood during regular or glow bowling sessions. Afterwards, players can refuel at the snack bar on slices of pizza and crisp, golden-brown onion rings or bulk up their thumbs at the in-house video games and air-hockey table.
