Yerevan Children's Railway (Armenian: Երևանի մանկական երկաթուղի) is a narrow gauge railroad loop passing through the Hrazdan gorge in Yerevan, Armenia. One of many children's railways that existed in the USSR and continued functioning after its breakup. Master plan and the old wood building were designed by architect Mikael Mazmanyan in 1937. The current main station was designed and built by architect Babken Sedrak Hakobyan in the late 1940s.
The railway was opened on June 9, 1937 and was in operation until 2024, no longer as an educational institution, but as a park railway operated by adults. In July of the same year, a decision was made to close it for operation. As of 2024, the railway is not functioning, the locomotives are inoperative, and the stations are closed.[1]
