Great family vacation. I took my kids there a few years ago and then again recently and it was everything we remember it being and more.
Well worth the trip! The train museum is a timeless delight!
I was in town visiting family a month ago when we took the kids. We all had a great time and I would highly recommend it!

Love visiting you all!”
My daughter and I loved the train museum. Very well organized, life-like displays, and great learning experience for her. Very impressed and we will be back soon!
Great place for kids of all ages! We LOVED the funhouse, enjoyed the scavenger hunt maps through the train exhibit, & the play yard is great to blow off steam & the cafe is nice to grab a bite to eat.

There are over 100 scratch built bridges and trestles modeled after real-life structures.
Over 130 talented craftsmen volunteered over 200,000 man-hours to create our display.
EnterTRAINment Junction was conceived in 2003, train construction began in June of 2007 and opened for business in August of 2008.
The entire display is built to be historically accurate showing railroads in 3 distinct time periods.
