A 1.2 kilometre two-foot (610 mm) gauge tramway has been constructed by the Society, which snakes through the remains and relics on the site. Tramway rides are available on open days. The novel covered carriages have been constructed on former Hudson ore skip chassis and ex-mine battery-electric locomotives haul them. A petrol driven railcar is also available to transport up to five people and can be operated in wet weather when the other locos are unable to grip on the wet rails.

The train winds through the six acre site where aspects of the processing plant still feature such as stamper mill , extensive cyanide tank foundations, tube mills, gas producer plant, etc.

Guided tours through the century plus underground roasting ore kilns’ tunnel and viewing them from a long gantry above ground is a unique attraction in New Zealand. These are the only ones open for the public to enjoy in the country. Our Society is grateful to be offering these tours to the public. Visitors are given safety helmets and torches before a volunteer guide briefly talks about the kilns. Our guide then escorts the visitors through the underground U-shaped tunnel, explaining how the chutes worked en route and pointing out the air vents and emergency tunnel. The visitors then climb to the top of the kilns sheltered beneath a new protection roof built on the original design. You can look down from a gantry into these massive brick-lined roasting kilns and see the ventilation shaft openings.

In 1913 the Waihi Goldmining Company reticulated the first electricity to the district after constructing the Horahora power generating station, the first on the Waikato River. The electricity came into the large concrete Transformer House (Sub-station), the only remaining building on the Battery site, which now houses the society’s comprehensive museum.

Inside are featured historic photographs of the Victoria Battery - its construction, the railway rakeline and the ore treatment process, plus old Waikino, Owharoa, Waitekauri and Karangahake townships. A manual operational ore stamper, timber milling displays and goldmining equipment from the re-opened Golden Cross 1992-98 operation are on show. Wooden patterns and glassed- in models of the Waihi-Waikino and Karangahake districts are displayed. The three disastrous Waikino floods are featured There is a rock display and numerous gold weighing scales along with many past era memorabila items. Guides give visitors friendly informative attention during the tours In the Transformer House
