    Awesome little gem tucked away just off the highway. This is located next to zube park. It is a facility dedicated to the scale model trains and train enthusiast but you don't have to be an enthusiast to enjoy it.

    THIS IS NOT AN AMUSEMENT PARK, CONTROL YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILDREN.

    RESPECT THE MEMBERS AND THIER RULES.

    This is an awesome thing to do for everyone. The club members are passionate about trains and railroad lore. Everyone is welcoming, helpful and willing to share their knowledge about the facility and the trains.

    Riding the trains around the track system is entertaining. Yes you can ride the larger trains but there are smaller scale...read full review

    Our experience with the kids was absolutely delightful, and even as adults, we felt like we were on a thrilling adventure, reminiscent of a toy train ride. The kids' creativity shone through in the wild scenery and bridges they built along the way, and we all had an amazing time. The staff were particularly cooperative and friendly.

    We had a great time. The members of the club were very friendly and the trains were really neat. The train ride itself was about 15-20 minutes long. The line moved quickly, but I would be prepared to wait for a little while. The platform is shaded, with restrooms and a small concession/ souvenir area. Littles may get hot and the train ride may be a little sunny during the summer. We went on a cooler fall day though so it was perfect for us.
