Model Ships Museum and Trains Museum Description

Fans of boats and trains won't want to miss these two museums, housed in the same building. At the Trains Museum, train-loving kids will quickly become absorbed in the detailed diorama of collectable trains running on three levels. The Model Ships Museum is a treasure chest of model submarines, warships, and sailing ships, plus a 13-foot replica of HMS Hood. In the Sport Fishing Simulator, young anglers can try their hands at wrestling a 35-pound salmon into a boat.

Kid Tips

Toddlers & Pre-K: Fans of Thomas the Tank Engine will especially enjoy the trains.

School-Age Kids: Kids who enjoy building models will appreciate the intricate working dioramas, as will fans of boats and trains.

Pre-Teens & Teens: Best for young adults who are aficionados of boats, trains, or history, especially the early 1900s.

Planning Notes
