The park is big and spacious with lots of shelters for picnics and parties. There is a very large shaded playground area with some unique equipment such as a monkey bar type thing you just grap on to and hang while it slides you about ten feet. Its like a zip line. I saw another playground that was like a miniature western town but we didn't check it out.
You can buy a book of 12 tickets for $10 or a wristband good for all day for $10. The carousel and the train ride each cost two tickets per person. The model train museum is free. The Historical Railroad Museum and the Arboretum Railroad were closed because they were seasonal.
The train ride lasted 12 minutes and goes across two bridges and through one tunnel. The carousel is big and the kids loved it. The model trains were up kinda high and our 3 yr old was unable to see anything in half of the room. There were no step stools or boxes provided for the little ones to see those parts of the exhibits.
There were three large model train setups. One O gauge, one HO gauge and one N gauge. The O gauge was 90% complete with only about 10% under construction. This is normal as those is model railroading know its never "finished." The N gauge was about 60%-75% complete. The HO gauge was not even half done and there were pictures of how it had taken almost three years to get that far. It was interesting to see the various stages of construction and how it will be the most exciting to watch when it is all done. The island in the middle will be at least three different levels. The HO trains that were running were programmed to stop on a siding and let another train pass so that each train could use the single track tunnel going in opposite directions without crashing into each other. I had never seen that before on any model train display.
