An absolute delight to visit this place with it's caretakers graciously explaining how all the miniature models came together, who was involved, and what the plans are for the future. It's an astounding amount of detail in every once. One of the best parts is that they have a classic film playing on the drive-in theatre - Back to the Future! It is a perfect setting to set the mood of the 50s and 60s.nThere's a few scavenger hunts you can download to your phone that will keep kids and adults entertained, for hours possibly, and there's many easter eggs sprinkled throughout.nThe models are beautiful to look at. Also the mood lighting in the whole museum changes from day to night every 8 minutes which changes the scenery of the miniature models drastically.nThere's an outdoor portion which we were unable to see this time. It's 14 acres of actual old trains that you could explore inside and out. They provide guided tours only on specific days, so call or check ahead of time for more details. The indoor model is also expanding so it will only get better in time. I highly recommend visiting with or without kids because this type of stuff is getting more rare so let's appreciate this art form which is not only awesome to see but a lesson in American history which is something we all could use a little more of.
We came with our 3.5 years old grandson. It was fun for him as well as for us. Truly amazing!!!!
Not very big, but seeing as this used to be a single person's layout it is impressive. Staff are amazingly helpful and will give you a guided tour. Can't wait until the outside stuff is done.
Very Amazing experience. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly about the hobby and history behind the amazing diorama. Definitely worth the price.
THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING!!! I enjoyed hearing the history of how it came to be, I was amazed at how beautiful the whole place was and I was thoroughly entertained with the scavenger hunt they have! I even created my own!!
