The Yarra Valley Railway operates from Healesville Station on every Sunday and most public holidays.
Healesville has been a tourist destination since the 1880s, with the Grand Hotel built in 1888, and the 60-room Gracedale House in 1889.
In modern times Healesville has become a major centre for tourism based around the wine and food industries of the Yarra Valley, with attractions including Healesville Sanctuary, Yarra Valley Railway, Healesville Organic Market, Maroondah Reservoir, spectacular Revells Water Falls (weather dependent), numerous cafes and restaurants, and volunteer-run events such as the Healesville Music Festival.
