Great walkthrough!
On a short vacation trip to NJ with my son, we stopped at The Great American Railway/Northlandz after we had read about it online. My son is a model railroad and train/trolley enthusiast so this was a "must do" activity for us. If your child or your inner child is a train enthusiast of any kind, I recommend this activity. There is a gas powered, narrow-gauge railroad that runs on premises for about a 10 minute ride in open-air or closed cars. It is a nice way to relax either before or after your tour of the exhibit.

Great place for train loving children!
My two-year-old grandson was beside himself with excitement at seeing all the trains, and tunnels, and bridges. I thought he was going to explode. I enjoyed it mostly because I loved the wonder in my grandson's voice.

Everything was great, extremely detail-oriented, and one of the largest we had ever seen. If your kid is a train fan, need to see it once. I have to admit, it had lots of details and effort.

Northlandz Visit
This place is so mind-blowing! I took my 5 year old kid to Northlandz. We are lovers of trains and model trains so this place was right up our alley. We have had it on our list to go there and certainly glad that we found time today. There is so much to take in around every corner and seems to just keep going. The amount of bridges and tracks is crazy. The epic scale of this model is incredible and beautiful. The scenes in the model are amazing and everywhere you look you see something new.

Kid's Visit
We took our 2 grandchildren, 11 & 6 on a Tuesday afternoon. What a great place! So many railroad displays and so much to look at! The kids thoroughly enjoyed wandering along the mile of walkways, trying to find the objects on the "treasure hunt". There were so many trains running on the tracks and various interactive buttons to push. Photos do not do this place justice, you have to see it to believe the enormity and scale of the displays and scapes.

Worth Seeing
Our 10-year-old was just about able to see over most of the viewing areas, so if going with younger children, you may want to bring a little folding stepstool with although many of the areas have ledges to stand on. Also worth seeing is the magnificent dollhouse filled with completely decorated rooms, the various collections of trains, military memorabilia, dolls and toys.

Visit to Train Museum
Pretty cool miniature train museum. We got an annual pass and my 3YO son loves coming here. If you’re local, an annual pass isn’t a bad deal. He loves to watch all the trains go around and around here. It is a pretty huge setup up too. It would probably take about 15-20 minutes if you just walked through. We usually get an hour out of it with a 3YO. He loves being able to stop wherever and set up his step stool to see the trains.

Experiencing this Marvel!!
I visited Northlandz with two sets of grandsons at different times many years ago. Northlandz became one of the highlights of the boys’ childhood adventures with their grandparents. May we always be young enough to delight in experiencing this marvel no matter how old we are. Thank you so much for bringing Northlandz to the world and have a very happy holiday season.

Train History and Fun
Definitely would recommend! Lots to this train museum- not just trains. Lots of trivia to learn about different aspects of train history. Takes a bit of time to go through, to see all of the displays. Definitely worth the money. A must for train lovers.
