Healesville is the terminus of the Healesville tourist railway.

The station on the site was built in 1888-1889 when the railway line was extended from Lilydale to Healesville. The station closed along with the Healesville line in 1980. It sat idle for some years, the station has now restored as part of the Yarra Valley Tourist Railway, which is based out of Healesville. It currently opens on weekends and public holidays.
