What is Night Trains?
The museum’s collection of model trains of all scales and toy trains of yesteryear come alive throughout the Museum. Night Trains Season magic begins as the lights are turned down and the buildings and street lights glow warmly, setting the scene for specially lighted models of operating vintage passenger trains. The make believe towns are buried in snow and holiday decorations are set up all over the towns. Uniquely decorated trains will run on the layouts and special holiday-only layouts will also be on display.
Hours and Admission
Every Saturday from through February 22, 2025. The event runs from 3:00pm to 7pm, tickets will be sold for 2 hour time blocks. Admission costs are $15 per guest, and children 4 and under are free.
You can buy your advance tickets today at our EventBrite page here or pay at the door! (Advanced purchase recommended for Santa nights and weeks before/during/after Christmas).
