A huge family treat. Don't fail to chat with the builders and employees about the great jokes and Easter eggs in the displays.
An interesting place to stop and look at Southern California dioramas. Be sure to check out the model of the Tehachapi Loop on the upper level of the railroad.
Best railroad museum for kids. Love the miniature towns and every details. So much to see.
San Diego’s model railroading clubs put together this expansive set of O-scale, HO-scale, N-scale, and toy layouts depicting Southern California locales.
Great train models and an upstairs play area will keep your kids entertained for hours.
An amazing museum ! We didn't budget nearly enough time for this enchanting site!
Don’t hesitate. These guys aren’t gonna steal your dates. But they put on a show you won’t believe. It’s another world. Jump in!
This place was a wonderful hidden find. Spent much more time here than the museum above it.
This is incredible. Not one model railroad, but 4 large model railroads in different sizes.
Be sure to check out the model of Balboa Park in the year 1915
O gauge and HO gauge railroads. Very Qool for kids of all ages
My son loves this place. We see something new every time. :)
Great spot to take a 5 to 5..... Boy
Adult entry is only $2 after 3:30pm and kids are free
Brings out the kid in all of us. The 'engineers ' are an amazing wealth of knowledge .
Check out the train with the built-in camera .
The model trestles are things of beauty.
Great place, fun for all ages. Support this venue buy purchasing an annual pass. Great bargain.
Make sure to look in the church model to see the pipe organ .
My favorite time of year-Lego Trains !
Have you found the people that come home only to find a shark in their pool?
First Tuesday of the month is free to San Diego residents
Not the most exciting museum .
Excelente visita para los niños a muy bajo costo . Se puede complementar con visitas a los demás museos o al zoo
Sumamente descuidado. Es terrible para lo que cobran...
