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!
“Was there back on Father’s Day. Our little engineer, my Hannah
Grace, who loves trains and playing with her wooden trains.
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.
My little boy loves trains! We have an annual membership now and love being able to come any time to check out what's new. A wonderful family activity!
EnterTRAINment Junction is a great place to take your kid on any day of the year. Always fun activities and not just for kids.
Our three boys LOVE Entertrainment Junction! There is always something new to discover and enjoy with each visit.
My family and I love going to EnterTRAINment Junction. The layout and workmanship of the layout is amazing. Great family fun for all ages and it makes me feel like a kid every time I go.
This is a great place! Been there a few times with my kids! Can't wait to go back...every time we go we always notice something different.
My son loves trains and he absolutely loves Entertrainment Junction. We have been there many times over the last few years and always can't wait to come back. Love the holiday themed events as well!
Our highest mountain on display is over 16 feet tall.
Our Train Journey uses 1,968 gallons of scenic colored dirt and grasses costing over $26,000
Our mountains are carved out of 58,000 square feet of spray foam!
We have over 2 miles of G track with 1 mile hidden inside mountains.
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.
Opening for business in August 2008, we’ve continuously added more to layouts each month.
Over 1,800 gallons of water is used with 3 storage tanks for waterfalls and rivers.
The control panels that operate each track have over 20,000 solder joints with 8,000 lines of programming to operate multiple trains on the same track.
The walkway through our exhibit is 850 feet long.
Our train display is 25,000 sq. ft. – about ½ of a football field.
Each tunnel leads you into a new time period through your journey.
Our scale is ½” = 1 ft. So, a 6 ft person in life is modeled as a 3” person in our display.
We have hidden 10 dinosaurs in our display – can you find them all?
All of our volunteers leave a personal touch on the items they work on – you can even see a photo of some in their buildings!
The seats in our museum are from Dayton train station from 1900.
We’ve had visitors from all 50 states and 37 countries!
We recently added a Bates Motel to our display – have you spotted it yet?
The tilt in our tilt room is 25 degrees.
During construction, we had to dig into the ground to build the Ames Room.
When you take a picture with flash on a camera of the steamboat, you’ll hear thunder after like it was a flash of lightning.
During your journey, we simulate night and day with 15 minutes of daytime followed by 5 minutes of night.
The switchback line has 2 trains. The one going up the hill has no logs and the train going downhill are fully loaded with logs.
The Coney Island amusement park display is a replica of Cincinnati’s Coney Island as it looked in 1965 – complete with working rides.
