If you ever liked model trains, this place is incredible. The exibit is awesome, and they have a great selection of model trains in the store. Definitly a great place to visit if you have a son/grandson/nephew that likes trains.
Nice train hobbiest store. Opted out on the train display. $5 a bit pricey to watch trains go around unless you happen to be a train hobbiest. You can see what you get from the security camera monitor display in the lobby.

We live in Cumming,GA only one hour from Helen,GA. We always attend Octoberfest in the fall. It lasts over 2 months.
Restless Grandpas, moms,dads, and grandkids go to Charlemange every year. The train display is wonderful and one of a kind. I'm not sure who enjoys the train display more, the visitors or the engineer! He loves to talk ...

Very interesting!

What amazed us about this place was the amount of time and effort that went into building the "village" and keeping it up. It was so neat and very cute, a really educational experience. I'd recommend it to young and old alike!

It is very cute and must have taken forever to get all the little details done. Maybe a little bit pricey. Specially with kids a nice place to see.

My husband and I went to Charlemagne's Kingdom on our honeymoon. I didn't want to go, but he convinced me and now I'm glad we did. The trains have spectacular detail. You keep finding little things like an alien crash landing, or mermaids in the water that are so cool. We spent quite a while in there, and there weren't many other people to distract us. I would highly recommend it, especially if you have children.
This place was amazing. Its very hard to describe, it is so much more than a model train display. You could spend all day inside and not see everything. The attention to detail is awe inspiring, there are people in the buildings, there are crops growing in the fields, there are flames in the hot air ballons. Make sure you don't miss the bungy ...
