Makenzie Ross: Never knew Elkhart had this hidden gem. My 2 year old son loved it, great for a snowy day and the staff was so friendly!!! Not a bad price either, we easily spent 2hrs and didn’t even do the outdoor exhibits.

Lindsey Olson: The have a lot of good information that is presented in a way that makes it interesting to view.I took my 3.5 year old twin niece and nephew once and bought the (very reasonable priced) annual membership. We have gone twice now and they love it and still ask to go back!There is a space for children to explore dramatic play in being a train conductor themselves. They can dress up, and interact with a (child) life-size train. There is a ticket booth, and train space to play in.They also have a wooden train table (actually 2, a fairly large one and a smaller one) to play with wooden trains. They have a huge variety of trains and train piece to build sets however children choose. They also have a lego train building table.There is an entire room with a model train set up. And I don't know about other train loving children, but my nephew could sit in there and watch the trains from many different angles (and they have step stools!).Lastly though they do not sell food, they DO have a train car with tables and it was the perfect spot to stop and eat their lunches at while watching REAL trains pass by outside.This is a great place for anyone to check out at least once!
