I recently took my kids to Northlandz for a one-day indoor exhibit and it was an amazing experience! The wonderland had tons of different attractions, from indoor model trains to outdoor train rides. We even got the chance to take a tour of the entire facility. Took a few hours but every second was worth it. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun day out with the family.
This place is a wonder! Filled with amazing, intricate models of cities, towns, and other structures it’s truly a sight to behold. There's something new at every turn. My kids had so much fun looking at all. It was great for their minds, plus it was a lot of fun! Highly recommend Northlandz as an educational and entertaining outing for kids!
It’s not just simple art but lives 3D art of one of its kind. The sound sensors make the space even more intriguing. For instance, when you pass by the airport, the sensors detect your motion and create a landing flight sound. There are multiple such 3D audio sensors to engage the visitor. Even though we walk for hours, we still can't get over the place. Recommended!
I am a mother to a kid who is so much into art. I wanted to surprise him and thus planned this one-day trip to Northlandz. I am so glad that he loved the place. He was so over the moon about the unique sorts of art in there. We are definitely getting here again!
My middle one is a true train enthusiast. He has a collection of model trains in this room from all over the world. When I came to know about this place I was eager to take him there. Truthfully, he loved the place and didn’t want to get home. Surprisingly, there was a gift shop where I bought him a couple of more model trains to add to his collections. He was so contented and I was happy seeing him so!
My little one is an autistic kid and for a long time, I wanted to take him to some place where he could be like other kids. I was having second thoughts about the place but seeing them focused on autism, I took my tot there. Surprisingly, it went all smoothly. The staff was so friendly and accommodating to my child's needs and the environment was very calming. There were autism inclusion zones as well as so many other interactive exhibits that kept my child engaged and entertained throughout the visit.
A day spent at Northlandz is a day loaded with fun! My little one and I had a great time wandering indoors. The miniature train ride was a highlight - it's so impressive how long the model railroad was! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and there was plenty to keep everyone entertained. I highly recommend Northlandz for a fun and memorable day out!
Wanted an educational and fun experience for my kids for their weekend outing and guess what, I planned a trip to Northlandz. It was a unique experience on its own. Kids were so fascinated by the intricate model train set-up and enjoyed learning about how it works. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the atmosphere was bright, clean, and inviting. My children could have stayed there for hours! It's a great place for kids to learn about trains in a fun way. Highly recommend!
Took my grandkids to my favorite place this weekend. They loved the place too. There was something for all as there is so much to see just indoors. The girls liked the doll museum quite much while the boys adored the live model trains. We all had so much fun after a very long time. Northlandz is definitely a place for all ages.
Northlandz was an experience we will never forget. The sheer size of the place is awe-inspiring and the levels of miniature details are just incredible. The ticket included an entire indoor museum tour & it was for sure worth every penny! It's also a great place with multiple photo ops! I highly recommend Northlandz for a family outing – we had a blast! You’re going to love the place too!
Awesome model train museum! Really loved all the trains and scenery. I recommend this to couples, teens, and small children.
We had a wonderful time today with our 3 year old. We spent about 2.5 hours there. Every visit you see something different but the scenery and track work have had noticeable repairs made and fresh new trains running. We plan to return and see what new and fresh models they will have next.
Thank goodness it wasn’t a pool day because we decided to take a ride down to Flemington which is about 45 minutes away from our home in Pennsylvania to see Northlanz! . Our son Is 13 and a lifelong train lover but there is so much more to see here than just trains! The love and work that has gone into this place is amazing. Fun nostalgic exhibits and beautiful doll collections throughout for the moms in tow! A beautiful gift shop and lovely outdoor exhibits. We highly recommend it!
Joey's favorite part of the experience was the room with the super tall bridges with the trains going over them. Mariana's favorite part was the room where she found the first T. This was my first time here with my kids and we all had a great time! It takes a few hours to get thru and the kids were entertained and engaged the whole time. Great place for train enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike.
I Couldn’t believe my eyes. Was much longer than we had ever expected! My 7 yr old loved it. Had a great time.
Northlandz is amazing if you’re a fan of trains and live within a few hundred miles this is an absolute must do the kids will love it.

Way more than I expected…totally awesome, I loved how I could make some of the trains go and other things happen! I also loved how realistic everything looked” -From our 8 yr old son! The massive layout is nothing you can imagine until you visit!
This was a fun family trip! Our children loved it! The train display was the largest I have ever seen! It takes up multiple rooms and stories. You can even see the control room where they run the trains from. The attention to detail in the display is amazing. Definitely worth a visit!
A treat for anyone who loves trains. Lot of details in every section of the tour. It’s a nice walk, stroller-accessible. They also have a nice play area for kids. We went with a toddler and a 4-year-old they enjoyed it. The staff is very friendly and the free coffee is quite good too! Will come back soon.
I found Northlandz on Google Maps as I live in NJ and my son is a big train fan. There are some train museums in NJ area but this one is definitely a recommendation for indoor. The trains here are so real and it is great fun for my family. Currently the Staff told me the trains are 30% running and will soon run to 100% after regular checks -- which I will definitely come again and see the amazing scene.
Northlandz is a great exhibit to bring train loving families. It's spacious and filled with tons of train history as well as amazing displays. We came to visit as a gift to my 4-year-old son and he truly enjoyed every moment. He was in awe of all the trains and even the play space they have. I recommend this place to anyone young or old.
This place is absolutely amazing! My son loves trains and this was a train lover’s paradise. The building is HUGE. There is so much to see, countless trains, and endless railroads. This place is a must on your to-do list! In the end, there is a small playroom with rides on trains and cars. One of the cleanest toy rooms I have ever seen in my life! Highly recommend Northlandz!
We took four boys 8,6,5 and 3. They all enjoyed themselves and had a great time looking at all the different scenes.
I took my son here for his 3rd birthday because he’s really into trains. It cost $20 for my ticket and it was free. We spent about two hours walking through the exhibits. He enjoyed seeing the trains. It was a Tuesday morning and it was empty! We were the only ones there for most of the time. Go to the bathroom before you start. There is one bathroom in the beginning, but it’s a hike if you need to go in the middle. I wish the steps were a little taller. My son had trouble seeing a lot of the exhibits and I needed to pick him up and hold him. Also, I brought an umbrella stroller and was glad I did because he got tired of walking toward the end. I’ll bring him back at some point, but I’ll wait a bit. I’m interested in a train ride outside in the nicer weather.
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.
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.
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.
