“Hurry if want to see this, it's closing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

A very extensive HO train exhibit with lots of trains to see. It tells a story of the region rail history - coal and steel. It is a shame it will all be gone by the middle of January. It's closing. More

“Dated, but fun”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

“Kids love trains”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2009

This is on the whole second floor. Its not one of the best train displays but it is grand. My kids enjoyed watching all the trains going by. It has a big city scene that lights up at night time. I think it was $4-5 for adult and $2 children. More
