Model Railroad Display
Experience the magic of Christmas and model trains! Our snow-covered Christmas model railroad layout is on display and you can explore countless fun features. It’s over 1,100 square feet!

Family Train Ride
Coming Soon! Our train, that can accommodate both children and adults, is currently being custom built. We hope to have it up and running for Summer 2024! Tickets will be available for purchase inside the Visitor Center for $4 per person.
