It is an amazing place. A nice way to spend a day with young children who may not have seen the scale of Trains. The creator has gone to great lengths to capture the detail. It is worth visiting once.
Took 2 boys (age 11) and 3 adults. All 5 of us loved it. How someone can even think to build something like this is amazing. It is a true gift to us all. It's designed so that as you walk through the display, each view is different creating a sense of anticipation with each turn. The detailing is remarkable. We were honored with an almost private organ concert. That's you for a wonderful winter afternoon.
Wonderful display of choo choo trains, complete with landscapes and all train paraphernalia. Great fun for kids of all ages!
I am not a fan of model trains but was babysitting a friend's son and took him here to kill some time. The place is unbelievable. Whether you are into trains or not, you will be blown away by the time, creativity, and work that went into the exhibits.
Visited with my son many years ago. Now visited with my 6 year old grand daughter. She remained excited throughout the entire exhibit. So did all the people who were there. Anyone who complains that the exhibit is old or dusty is missing the point and probably would pick out minor details on the Mona Lisa. This is still the most amazing train exhibit in the world. The short train ride was a refreshing plus.
I had never been to this type of "museum" so see so many trains. I was very impressed. My nieces enjoyed looking at all the trains. It is a lot of walking for those who cannot stand and walk for very long.
My daughter is 8 and loves trains, she is pretty reserved but completely flipped out from the minute we rounded the corner in the building to the moment we finished, so this is 100 million stars in her book. Worth the trip for this alone.
My son has never been so excited. Constant amazement. The detail and the work the owner has put into this place is amazing. I agree that it needs some maintenance, but it's still a 5 star visit!
My 9 year old son and I were blown away by this place! So many trains, tunnels, mountains! Crazy attention to detail with the houses, people and animals. We especially loved the challenges to find things in the displays. I am sure that you could see something new each time you visit.
Children of all ages will really enjoy this place. It contains over 400 bridges, with many extending 40 feet across 30 foot canyons. There is a huge city skyline that will give LEGOLAND a run for its money. There are so many lifelike creations, including: huge peaks (about 30 feet high), Swiss Alps, waterways, pit mine, funny signs and sights, and lots more. Our six year old grandson was enthralled for over two hours and is still talking about how “cool” it was. He’s already asked when we can go back.
