Railfair has both outdoor and indoor exhibits. The main attractions are the model train displays where you'll find O, N, and HO scale trains. Some of the displays are simple and straightforward, and some are rather amazing and intricate! Rides on the miniature locomotives take place continuously throughout the day; each ride lasts about 10 minutes.The Model Railroad Building opened in 2010. It is a 10,000 square foot building where the park's four model railroad clubs work on their trains and tracks.
Life-size trains are on display at Railfair, too, and you can visit the museum for free during Railfair.
If you want to take a break from the trains -- I wouldn't but some of the little kids do! -- check out the carousel, bouncy houses and playground.
