Absolutely incredible detail and work put into the models. We went during a Halloween event where they put CUTE Halloween details on existing models.... Highly recommend!!

The Twin City Railroad Museum is so charming! We had a fun time! My husband and I visited after having it recommended by family, even though we may not have sought it out on our own, but it was a great time. It was really interesting to read up on some train history, and I learned a lot about the different scales and types of model trains. The displays were so intricate and fun. Each one was different, and it was fun to look for little pop culture and local references. I was very impressed at the artistry involved in creating the scenes features with the buildings and figures. Very cool! By the end, we were even talking about what kind we might build in our basement one day. There were lots of chances to be interactive with the exhibits, and because of that, I think this would be a great place to bring kids (as long as you keep an eye on them - there's lots of stuff you're instructed not to touch). I hope to bring my niece and nephew here one day! At only $10 each, it was a very affordable hour of entertainment! Lots of parking and very friendly staff!

Yes, there are a few train tables in the back. There are also some exhibits that kids can control either the train or parts of the exhibits. Our 8 year old enjoyed it.
