Regular Visitor
By Jane, 05/19/09
I've been meaning to write a review for months. We LOVE this place. I have 2 sons and a daughter who all love it equally. The kids are just entranced with the details and the many trains in each scene. We'd estimate that there are about 80 trains running with several of them being about 20 cars long. We go back about every 2 or 3 months because the kids love it so much and we've noticed that things are getting cleaner and there are fewer holes in the scenery (which look like they got there by curious kids). Definitely getting even better! And while we're there, we always ride the outside train, much to the kids delight. Highly recommended for kids of all ages!
 
 
 
 
 
Nice but tired
By DonM, 04/08/09
Amazing amount of creativity and work went into building this exhibit. However, it is showing signs of lack of maintenance and disinterest by the owners. Worth one visit.

A great trip for the family!
By Karin, 01/21/09
Since I've found this local place, I've been back with my mother, nephews, and friends when they come to visit. I see something new every time and every person that I've taken has enjoyed it. It's great for people of all ages and backgrounds. While train buffs like my husband love it, people who don't particularly have an interest in trains still enjoy the fabulous scenery and attention to detail--I love looking at all the little towns. For the entertainment value, it was certainly worth the admission fee. Of course I'd love it to be lower, but I can't complain that I didn't get my money's worth. There were tons of trains running and I didn't notice much dust or any trash around. I'd highly recommend this activity for anyone--everyone should be able to find some aspect of Northlandz to enjoy!
 
 
 
 
 
Great Exhibit for Train Lovers
By Dee, 01/17/09
I've been many times. Bringing family and friends. I love going back and seeing everyones excitement. A train exhibit like this one shouldn't look brand new it should look aged. The real world looks aged in most places. We have dust, dirt, leaves etc. scattered about our roads and so does this exhibit. They why it looks so great. Its more realistic to the country we live in. I enjoyed looking at how he created things. I've seen straws, toothpicks and so much more. Let your imagination run free. I have meant the creator of this exhibit. What a creative person he is to have created this extraordindary exhibit. The cost to get in is reasonable.

Mommy/Daddy day trip with babies.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/30/08
Very unusual exhibit. You'd think you'd entered your freakish uncle's hobby room, only it's 100x bigger. Fun, day trip. Great for a rainy day. Perfect for little kids. Our one year old twins adored seeing the trains appear/disappear through the mountains. Room after room after passageway of model trains. Other eclectic exhbits thrown in (cabbage patch, beanie babies, star wars) for no reason. It's so odd, it's awesome. Wheelchair and stroller accessible, but no views from the stroller height. Your kids won't stay in them anyway - skip the stroller and bring a baby bjorn or snuggli.

worn
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/09/08
A bit worn down, in need of some renovation. Also some details are cheap, should have gone for some more exitment (moving features, smoke, sounds) not only trains... Expensive!

Great Day At Nortlandz
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/23/08
Everytime we go, we see things missed the prvious times. It is a deal, compare to your local RR clubs 5.00 a person, open house. If you are within 1000 miles, and love to see the Worlds Largest Layout, this is the place.
 
 
 
 
 
Really Interesting
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/10/07
We loved all of the minature "landz" with all of the Trains. If you don't like minature trains... not for you. Good for older children and tweens.
