This place is bananas. I could not get over the level of detail that goes into all of the displays, dioramas, and how everything is presented throughout the entire walk through this huge place. Definitely wear comfortable shoes, it's quite a bit of walking, but absolutely worth it. Take a stroller if you are with kids. It's 100% stroller & wheelchair accessible. I can't believe I've passed by this place for so long and never went. 100% recommend heading here and spending a few hours. Just amazing. There's also plenty of parking, and it's so easy to find, right off route 202, just north of the Flemington circle.
We took our kids to northlandz. They really enjoyed the visit. The attention to detail in every exhibit was mind-blowing!! So much to see and so much detail, a lot of creativity. Such a nice display. Many trains were running in some of the displays, definitely would recommend a visit
WOW! We did not know what to expect but this was certainly more! After 15 minutes of somewhat close observation, there was a sign that read "You are 25% through". There are so many scenes, and so much detail, the amount of time this took to build is mind-blowing. Kids of all ages will enjoy it. We were on a road trip and found this to be a wonderful stop before heading onward to NY highways.
Loved the experience, It is amazing to see how willingly every detail is made. The model trains, interactive scenes, and dolls. Kids really enjoyed. Highly recommend!
One of the most impressive model railroads you will ever see! Huge barely covers it, the scale is truly staggering. We spent over 2 hours walking through the place, each spot had so much to see and the whole time our boys were riveted, it was a very nice way to spend a rainy afternoon. The outdoor train was not running so I can't speak to that, but we left very content. Thanks to the staff who were very friendly and eager to answer the boy's questions. I know our boys can't wait to return!
Incredible, amazing, interesting museums. Here you can feel genuine passion, and love that captures every visitor. The world of the Northlandz Miniature Railroad will take you back to your childhood ... My boys (20, 18 and 12) were interested in doing the "Grandma's Treasure Hunt" task. Awesome museum, we will definitely come back here!
Wonderful place! We bought tickets at a very good price. The whole family was satisfied, and I will recommend this place to all my acquaintances.
I took my kids there. Northlandz did not disappoint. The sheer scale and attention to detail make it worth visiting. The different views of the displays with the changes in elevation and perspective are so skillfully done, it's only after careful examination that you realize the planning and skills of the designer. If you've ever imagined your own model train display visit. I will visit again and go for a train ride.
Northlandz is a gem for rail enthusiasts and others who just want a really interesting place to spend with their kids. We took our 2 year old who is absolutely obsessed with trains. Between the sprawling detailed indoor displays and outside scaled down ride on train, he was absolutely loving it!!! The staff was very extremely friendly and accommodating, some areas of the place are a bit dated, but the funny quips on some of the displays and the sense of wonder and humor absolutely make up for it.
Decided to visit this place after seeing an ad for it. I loved the outside looked sorter like the white house I don't know what the building was before but it's cool looking. When you get inside you're not sure if you are in a model railroad museum or a toy store because it's packed with kids' toys. Once you buy your ticket the model railroad layout is breathtaking 3 floors of trains, bridges, and a landscape it is amazing I loved it they also feature over 200 dolls, a 94-room dollhouse and a 2,000-pipe organ. I would go again!
