Museum is reopening!
We've got fantastic news: our museum is reopening! Here is everything you need to know before you plan a visit.
Book a Private Experience: https://bit.ly/2G4YfQL
Hours: 3pm–7pm, Thursday–Sunday.
Private Experience 🚂
The only way to see our trains in action is to book a Private Experience. You will have the entire museum to yourself and your group (up to 10 people) for 45 minutes. The museum is sanitized between each visit.
Each Experience will include a private tour guide who will explain the art of model railroading, the history of our layout, and show you how the trains and features work. This is an engaging way to see the museum and a unique experience not to be missed—even if you have been to our museum before.
Each Private Experience is $75 for the entire group. To celebrate our reopening, we are offering $10 off with coupon code "reopening10" if you reserve your booking by Sunday, September 6 on our website. The discount can be used for tours booked through the end of October 2020. Visit our link in bio to book your visit.

Retail 🛍️
We are open for retail. Please stop by during our open hours to view our selection of trains, toys, books, and train-related gifts. Due to restrictions, we are limiting the number of people we allow inside during retail visits. Unfortunately, our trains will not be running during retail visits, so if you wish to see the trains and the layout in action, you will need to book a Private Experience.
It seems like a lifetime ago that we were welcoming you to our little museum. We miss you all and the sound of trains. Here is an oldie but goodie.
