REVIEWS
This was an absolutely amazing place. We are so glad we visited here on our trip. Perfect for little ones. Feels very safe and everyone was friendly. We loved the train ride, carousel, and playground. It was also cool to have some buildings and train cars to go into. We absolutely loved the model train building. Those trains were very impressive and all of the activation buttons made it feel interactive. Definitely will go back when in the area

It was super fun and a relaxing time. Train ride was $3 and merry go round is $3 They had a couple of museums and a building for snacks/food and another for gift shop. My favorite was the room with the toy trains in action and all the scenery, I also enjoyed going inside an actual train and seeing what it was like inside.

What a great experience! There are several small museums for free including one inside an actual train. All were interesting and educational; however, the model train museum was absolutely AWESOME. I was immediately blown away at how big the exhibit was. There was a component of magic in the air as I carefully and intentionally viewed each, very detailed, scene. You can tell there was a lot of effort and care put into it. There were even interactive components! There are donation receptacles throughout which gives you a special thanks when you donate-which was a nice surprise and made it feel more special. However, this is a free exhibit and I highly recommend visiting!

My toddler had a blast! Train ride & carousel. Loved the museum and presidential train you can get in. Picnic tables and bathrooms. Small sand playground. Also looks like they are installing a new playground as well.

Not a huge place but plenty of space for a quick train ride and trip around the carousel. Great for easy bday party for kids. Nice sized playground and around Halloween they have a great setup for the train. Easy going day trip for the kids!
