INDOOR TICKET FOR KIDS-SENIORS-TEACHERS-MILITARY | AGE (2-65+ YEARS)

OMG! This place is fantastic! Did not realize that this is as big as it is. There are several ramps that take you to view the scenery along the way as well as to look down. Along the way are tidbits of interesting train facts. Plenty of dolls on display, including Elvis dolls. A room with several antique organs. There is a snack food area. The staff was helpful in ordering discounted tickets online right in the gift shop. Definitely want to return to video the trains running around the many track scenes.

We spent about 4 hours in the exhibits. A fun, quirky layout with some tongue-in-cheek displays. Recommend for train aficionados.

Such a fascinating place...more trains and more views than I thought possible. Captivated my family.

Very interesting tour. I don't know how much of the layout is interconnected, but even the individual scenes are massive. I was able to get a discount code to get 15% off which made the price even more affordable. It is worth the price of admission even without the discount code. There is a whimsical theme to most scenes along with impressive model building and landscaping. If you enjoy trains, this is definitely worth a stop and you can spend a couple of hours here.

Went to Northlandz with my wife and father-in-law on a weekday, so there were no crowds (we were it), so no COVID precautions were needed. The folks there were very helpful in directing us to get on the site by phone to get a significant discount. More importantly, the place was amazing. I thought it was pretty impressive and well worth the money, only to find out I was only 25% through it. What has been done here and how is was done is truly incredible! We took about 3 hours to get through the whole thing, and it was sooo much more than I expected. Truly mind boggling! We all had a great time! Very easy to see why it is billed as the largest of its type in the world. Had we not known what to look for, we could easily drive by the place and never known what was inside the rather anonymous-looking building. See it!

Never seen anything else like this. Definitely recommend this place for families looking for something different.

Great model train. Lots to do. Will recommend to friends and family high-quality experience and fresh air!

It is impossible to imagine what you will experience without going in. The tour brought back Memories of being a child, building models and actually doing things by hand! Our grandson actually experienced things he could not see, feel on an iPhone. I Highly recommend this for families to spend quality time with their young ones and bring smiles to people of all ages.

This is a most impressive train layout that goes on forever. Our 6-year-old grandson loved it and there is enough detail and humor throughout to keep the adults engaged. Plan to spend 2 hours and use the restroom before starting!

Our granddaughter loved it and my husband and I enjoyed it also. We were amazed at how big it is! We will definitely bring her back again!

This is billed as a train exhibit, however, you see very few trains. They say there were 56 trains running, however, it too, so big you hardly see them. While the scenery is good, the point is to catch trains at a train exhibit. I do not feel I got my money's worth.

Still the same place with new owners. Tickets for 3 Kids and 2 Adults (I received 1/2 price Veterans discount) were $79 for the shortened tour (about 1 hr.) since they were doing some work in the place. I do not remember pay that much on our previous visits. I had to ask them if they had any of the trains running. The one gentleman got on the walkie -talkie to get some trains turned on. My 3 Grandchildren did enjoy the play room with stuffed horses on wheels that you can ride on. All in all I think we have had our fill of Northlandz.

We were thrilled to find Northlandz. My husband had seen an article in a magazine many years ago and wanted to visit. We made the trip from Atlanta. Northlandz is listed in the Guinness Book of Records for being the World's largest model railroad miniature wonderland. I don't understand why this is not a "must-see" mecca for all model train aficionados. AMAZING is not a big enough word. We expected it to be big, but never expected it to be as massive or as fastidiously detailed. This model train world winds through a 3-story, 50,000 foot complex and takes at least 2 hours to tour. The brochure says there are 125 sets of trains with more than 400 handmade bridges. When you read some of the reviews you'll see that a few of the areas have fallen into disrepair, but the new owner is hiring experts and artisans who are bringing Northlandz back to it’s former grandeur, and beyond. They plan to include more interactive points throughout the exhibit. We enjoyed it as it was and will be back to see it improved. My husband had a Cheshire Cat grin all afternoon. He’s 76, but his eyes were that of a 6-year-old seeing amazing, never-before-seen worlds. We spent 4 hours and took hundreds of photos.

Was very surprised at the amount of detail this place has with its model trains. Definitely go if you've always had a childhood dream of building something like this.

The scenery and details are truly amazing, unfortunately not all of the trains run, the place is a bit older, but the amount of work and details that went into making this place is truly amazing... during nice weather they also have a train that was built by the owner to take a short ride around the outside.. very cool place to spend a few hours and just enjoy the little things.

Well there are 2 ways to look at this To bring kids the scale of the display will blow them away. In fact I heard comments from other visitors that did just that. As a model railroader the buildings were very good and the vignettes were whimsical. But the mountains UGH someone just slathered plaster on a form and painted a weird color. The small number of trains actually running consisted of a couple of unrelated cars thrown together. It needs repairs and cleanup which I’m told is underway but the small kids won’t notice. They will be too busy being amazed. I wish them luck and hope they get it all back to what it should be.

Went to this museum like we always do in winter. Love all the trains, interesting toys to look and train ride. Now they have new owner who try to make it even more fun. The only thing I didn’t like, was that this museum has one bathroom on the first floor and if you need it in the middle of the museum you need to go back or till the end, which is not very easy with the stroller and young kids. Otherwise, its a great place!

We visited Northlandz with our 3 year old granddaughter and 7 year old grandson. We had some doubts about going there because of a few reviews posted during October stating that the facility was not clean and needed renovation. Those concerns ended when we entered the front door. The lobby was clean and recently renovated and the person greeting us was friendly and very informative. They started renovating the facility in November and the results could be seen throughout the entire building. We were able to tour at our own pace since most schools were in session on that day. We toured for almost 2 hours and our 2 grandchildren were amazed. Trains rolled around mountains through tunnels and over numerous bridges. We have visited other train exhibits before but we were not ready for this exhibit. My grandson must have repeated “WOW” or ‘look at that” several times. Besides the trains, both children enjoyed the teddy bear and doll exhibits along the way. One thing that we didn’t know before we arrived was that they have a train ride. We went for a short ride around the property which just made the whole experience that much better. I also must say that my wife and I also enjoyed the day. Give this place a try and you will not be disappointed.

Having driven by Northlandz numerous times, my wife and I finally visited this week. In a word....WOW. The place is enormous and houses what is billed as the largest model railroad in the world. A number of things -- its amazing the amount of time and effort it must have taken to build all this. You'll need to take plenty of time to see it all as there is a good dose of whimsy in the presentation. You don't have to be into trains in order to enjoy and appreciate it. With that said, if you have a couple of hours this is a great place to stop and enjoy. Any downside? Only that their gift shop could use an overhaul and the restrooms should be a tad cleaner. But aside from those things, its worth the visit.

This place is absolutely a museum of what was. It is absolutely enormous, and the scale alone of the entire place is beyond impressive. They claim to be the world's biggest model railroad and I have absolutely no reason to dispute that. I'd imagine this place was a sight to behold in the mid-80s, which based upon the memorabilia and signed celebrity notes on the wall must have been when this place was in its heyday.

The vistas in this truly enormous exhibit were amazing. The creators had a sense of humor with cute little signs here and there and some visual jokes. Be prepared to walk - and walk. Unfortunately, signs of age are setting in with some tears in the canvas and a few things that are deteriorating - not to mention dust. But I can see how hard it would be to maintain as access appears limited. We spent about 1.5-2 hours; worth the fairly substantial entry fee.

A walk through could take between one and two hours depending on how long you stop to admire the details. It is a two story building, but within you will view the displays from many more levels as you walk along their ramps. Seeing the scenery from perspectives below, above, and many views in between help you appreciate the intricacy and effort involved in this attraction. Some platforms are relatively small and run through long halls. Others stretch from first level floor to second story ceiling wall to wall. Strategically placed mirrors make some scenes seem to go on forever and some pits seem bottomless. At times, you may not be able to tell what is a mirror and what is just the massiveness of the scenery. Buildings and scenery are of old school, traditional model railroad material pushed to their limits of realism. A large room appeared oddly like a small theater with two level seating, a chandelier, a stage displaying antique organs and pianos, as well as some Christmas Trees in early February (everything very well maintained and attractive). Scattered throughout the building are dolls, toys, and other antique items. A ten minute or so actual train ride opened at noon taking a short trip through the nearby woods. As some reviews state, the bathrooms are a bit unpleasant but certainly useable if needed. Floors and walls are not in the best condition but you probably won’t notice, as your focus will be on the trains and scenery. Web site says they open at 10:30, but access to the displays was not available until almost 11:00 on this Saturday morning visit in early February. It was quite cool inside the building on a day that was not so cool outside for February – we went back to the car to get our jackets. The snack bar looked very nice but it seemed that no one was there to provide service. The gentleman at the ticket booth was extremely pleasant at the beginning and end of the visit, as was the train ride operator.

I had the opportunity to revisit Northlandz recently and after 5 minutes there my smile was as wide as it gets. I immediately rekindled my childhood dreams as I watched the spectacle of trains rumbling through alpine villages, meadows, cities and farms. Northlandz is a life long venture of its founder who began building this vast array of miniature trains in his basement years ago. I remember going to Three Bridges where the local fire department took people to his house during the holidays. But since he build Northlandz, it is no longer a holiday affair but instead, an everyday adventure for kids and adults alike--anyone who wants to see what imagination can create. There must be hundreds if not thousands of miles of miniature tracks running through scores of scenes. If you think you will come and visit in 10 minutes, think again. At 10 minutes, we were through approximately 5% of the territory. Obviously, we need to pick up speed on our tour, but I hope this conveys something about the nature and scope of this man's dreams. Every time I have come, more is built out, with mining towns springing up, new urban sprawls, and bucolic villages being added. The engineering feat alone is amazing, and I use that word sparingly. It is one of the most amazing sites I have ever visited around the globe. Don't miss it while you have the chance!! Your families, friends and your inner child will thank you.

My wife and I took our granddaughters (age 10 & 12) to Northlandz. I notice that some of the other reviewers were giving Northlandz low ratings. I disagree with them. If you know anything at all about building model train layouts you will find Northlandz to be outstanding. The train layouts in themselves are amazing for kids. No it is not Minecraft or some other app or video game. So if you expect your kids to be dazzled by modern cell phone phenomena don't bother going. Also it is a little used, the carpets are not brand new, the bathrooms are not new but they certainly are okay (not what some of the other reviewers are saying). Northlandz is well worth the admission. Also, we went on Sunday, a week before Christmas. The parking lot was full. If you like model trains please go.

First off, we took our 2+ year old grandson here who loves trains and he was thrilled! He could have stayed all day. The display is truly astounding and it is a marvel at the love and dedication that went into building and maintaining it. You will need all of 1 1/2 hours to truly take in most of it. I'm sure we missed a lot of the little details that were there but a 2 year old will only stand in one place for so long. There is a nice little narrow gauge ride outside that they charge a couple of bucks for that lasts about 10 minutes. Again the grandson loved that! If you are in the area, it is worth the time.

The scope and magnitude of this train display is overwhelming. I can not imagine the time and effort that went into this display. We even got our 19 year old Grandaughter off her smart phone long enough to enjoy the display.

This was my second visit to Northlandz. I first toured this attraction about 20 years ago and was determined to visit again. It is a spectacular display of model railroading and very extensive scenic displays. I think that it is the scenery that really makes this worth the visit. You get to see the scenery from below and above. With all the tunnels in the scenery it is neat to watch the trains enter and leave the tunnels, wind through the gorges and across the many bridges. I was overwhelmed by the changes and additions that have occurred. This time I visited with my wife and she thought this was a great attraction. We spent about 2.5 hours walking through the facility. I took over 350 pictures. We ended our visit by riding the outdoor train ride which was also well worth our time at Northlandz. Highly recommend this for anyone, any age.

We went there taking our 10 year old grandson to see the trains. Secretly, I was hoping to also see some doll houses too, (I build, design and collect them). Well, after seeing this amazing sight, and room after room of gorges, bridges, cliffs and models of real towns and cities, just endless scenery and trains running through them, my next doll house included a hobby room with a train running through the second floor with sights and stations on the Septa line from Doylestown to Phila. Love this Northlandz and am amazed that I did not find it before. I will definitely go again and enjoy this awe-inspiring place. Definitely worth the time, money and effort. And, there were some doll houses, but now I am hooked on model trains too!

This place is a large warehouse style steel building filled with H.O. scale trains. There are all types of scenes from mountains to factory towns and all types of bridges and tunnels. My 3 grandsons were 2 and 4 years old on our first visit. A good age is probably 3 years old when they would start to enjoy all the trains. He has a nice Church Organ collection in the building also. The scenes are really amazing and the details are a work of art. A great place to visit on a cold or rainy winter day.

My grandson & I spent a wonderful afternoon walking in amazement of the size & detail of this multi-level mostly HO train layout.

Northlandz is so much more than I expected because at first I thought "how many model train displays can you really enjoy?". Well, the entire place is amazing with bridges, tunnels and canyons. Not to mention little funny notes around to read if your paying attention and all sorts of miniature figures and villages, just really spectacular. Yes, there were some spots that not all of the tracks were running and I meant to ask if they do that on purpose to change what you see if you visit multiple times or are they just not working. Either way, it was still wonderful to take it all in. The entire display is ramps so you can bring a stroller or wheelchair and if child is 7 or under I do recommend something to wheel them around in when tired of walking. It takes 2 - 2.5 hours to view but you could really linger a lot longer if you don't have children with you, my grandson is 4 and loved it for the first hour then I piggy backed him the rest of the time and after 1.5 hours he really wanted to go but not very fussy just reminded every 15min or so, other people had children and were rushing thru at that point, next time I am going adults only.

My seven year old grandson loved this. It is large and can take a lot of time to see it all. The bridges were spectacular. We were advised to wait at the tunnels to see trains coming through which was a good suggestion.

I must've passed this place a hundred times through the years but had not visited there until last fall when we accompanied our grandchildren there for the museum and the train ride. Grandchildren loved it though I don't see what the big deal is.

This attraction is like a Smithsonian museum with huge Minature train configurations. It is very underrated. We went the day after a snowstorm so they clearing the parking lot of snow and getting the all the dioramas set up. The heating was slow but we kept our winter coats on. They literally have miles of tracks with some landscapes over 20 feet tall. Well worth the admission price and kept our 2 year old grandson entertained for almost 3 hours.
