This place was magical for our son! Wasn't hugest but the trains sure are! Before you even enter you get to look at the signal lights and the bells and a train on a turntable thing! The trains inside have such a cool history and a few interactive areas. You cant get on the trains but they do have one you can ride during special times with tickets. Highly recommend going!
