Night Trains 2023-2024 Season
December 20, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Night Trains® season is a special Holidays tradition at the Twin City Model Railroad Museum. Night Trains runs from October 2023 through February 2024 with additional bonus nights noted below.
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 trains to board and ride on!). 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 buried in snow and holiday decorations are set up all over the towns. Uniquely decorated trains will run on the layouts and special holiday-only layouts will also be on display.
Hours and Admission
Every Saturday from November 4th, 2023 to February 24, 2024. The event runs from 3:00pm to 7pm, tickets will be sold for 2 hour time blocks. $15 per guest, children 4 and under are free!
Tickets can be purchased in advance or at tcmrm.eventbrite.com. Advanced tickets recommended for nights in December to ensure we don’t exceed building capacity.
