Great afternoon visit for my four year old son and me. The hour-long ride is well worth the price of a ticket. Have been twice and will definitely go again!

Yes you can. I bought my ticket at the office and got there about 45 minutes early and then went and had lunch in town and then came back about 10 minutes before boarding

Our layout in the baggage car is O gauge.

Is there a model train layout in the museum? And do they offer a dinner train?

Neha S | Oct 1, 2019

There is a model train if I recall correctly. I don't think they offer a dinner train. The rides aren't very long but still enjoyable with one stop at another station (based on the old steam engine ride I took).
