Night Trains® 2022-2023 Season


What’s Happening?

The Magic of Night Trains® returns for our 2022-2023 Season! As we did last season, we are offering limited advance ticket sales in 2 hour time blocks. $15 per guest, kids 4 and under are free. There will be no group rate for the 2022-2023 season due to COVID precautions.

This popular seasonal event begins on October 15th and continues every Saturday (except Christmas Eve) from 3:00 to 7:00 pm through February 25th, 2023. Plus the Mon/Wed/Fri of the weeks before and after Christmas. Check our Facebook Page and Website for additional times, dates and special events.

What is Night Trains?

The museum’s collection of model trains of all scales and toy trains of yesteryear come alive throughout the Museum (Sorry, no real train rides here). 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 covered in snow and holiday decorations are up all over the miniature towns.

COVID Precautions

Please stay home if you are feeling ill, we can process ticket exchanges via email.

Please maintain good social distancing practices.

Museum staff are doing extensive cleaning before, during and after each shift.
