Roadside America

This place was pretty amazing, I honestly wasn't expecting it to be since the place is so small but the little village was beautiful! This is a great place to take kids who love trains. I especially enjoyed the night view and music. My kids loved the trains and how they could control the trains or trolley with a push of a button, they did not want to leave. I love how detailed it was and the beautiful little pond with the fish, will definitely bring the kids back again.

When i was driving from DC to NYC on a state rd I found this place and it attracted me when I saw the sign board saying miniature village. It was an amazing experience to see such a wonderful art. It costs you $8 per person and its totally worth if you wanna see the ancient culture and technologies in little space. Vintage trains, cars etc. Its worth visiting.

My family and I went here to fill time before going to another local holiday tradition. I'm glad we did. The detail in these models is incredible. The pageant they put on with the Christmas music was awesome. I think we found a new tradition.

This place is monstrous fun. Picture your favorite neighbor’s train table (or your own) spread out over 7500 SF. I visited this place when I was a kid, and it’s just as much fun as an adult. The displays are lovingly maintained and there are numerous vignettes you can get lost in. There’s even an airport! Make sure you’re there long enough for day to turn into night - I think it’s about every half hour or so. And walk around the whole place, or you miss a lot.

Part of American that is quickly dying. I recommend this place for anyone to visit, so it can live on. If you grew up before the 90's, this place will take you straight back to your childhood. Even though it's a little hokey, my children even enjoyed it. Make sure to catch the "Nighttime Show"

Adorable! Much better than Choo Choo Barn. So much to see that we had to go around multiple times! The kids enjoyed it and weren't "bored" at all. The price shocked me. So much less expensive then the aforementioned. Absolutely Amazing

We have always wanted to stop and visit so we finally made the time to do so. The kids loved it. It is an awesome display. If you visit you have to wait to see when they change the display to night time it was amazing and my favorite part.

This is one of those attractions that doesn`t look like much from the outside, and its name does not give an adequate description of what's inside. You can spend anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours looking at all of the displays. It was reasonably priced to get in, and well worth it. So enjoyable for people of any age.

AMAZING, is the only word for this treasure! My wife and I stopped here with our kids on our way home from Hershey Park. This huge space is packed with different trains, buildings, homes, cars, trucks, boats, farms, mountains, waterfalls, ponds with live fish, running rivers, and more. The scene is based on how things looked in the middle 1900s and depicts AMAZING details. We spent and hour and a half walking around, reading interesting facts, pressing buttons to make the trains, small figures (people/animals), trolleys and more move, lights go on and off in beautifully designed homes & buildings, music playing, etc. I can't say enough about this place. Simply put, AMAZING!

Started coming here when I was a child. Have taken my girls there and now 2 of my grandchildren as well as my son in law for the first time. They loved it. Highly recommend going and not expensive.

I love Miniatures and the work that goes into creating villages with them. This work of love is very detailed and Huge. There are buttons to push for some of the moving exhibits and placard to explain the inspiration for the different areas of the village.

If I'm in the area again, I will go back.

This is one of those classic roadside attractions, your kids will talk about for years. Also has a nice Amish crafts gift shop next door. Great family business, Also right down the road from Hawk mountain & Cabelas!

Worth the entry price. Buttons for the kids to press to make things move. A bit musty smelling. You'd be lucky to stumble on to this place because of it's very rural location so I would think crowds would be an issue. Some very nice detailed model work and huge display area.

Please, if there’s any way to bring it back. This was an important part of PA history. A man spent his life creating this. I brought my friends from Pakistan here, and they loved it.

I first visited when I was around 5 or 6, and I only recently came across it again after my girlfriend made me a gift that required some components from model trains, which reminded me of a trip I took long ago with my late father to this wonderful model train display.

After paying for admission, which was an extremely reasonable $8 for adults, I walked through the door to the display and a mile-wide smile came across my face. We spent about an hour and a half walking through the display, operating all the little buttons to ring church bells, run a nearby train, or operate the displays, and reading the dozens of factoid plaques.

I swear, I was filled with the same joy and wonder I felt when I was a little kid, walking around wide-eyed and angling for better views. It was like seeing it for the first time all over again. When we first came in, there was a friendly gent that worked there who greeted us and gave us some info. He was passionate about model trains and shared a lot of interesting facts with us.

The whole place felt like taking a step back through the ages to a simpler time. I’m still buzzing about my visit hours after leaving, and I’ll be making the trip again in warmer weather.

In addition to the massive, beautiful display, there’s a small gift shop in the front part of the building outside the room with the display. Souvenirs, T-shirts, and a small beverage refrigerator are out there in case you’d like to take home a memento or worked up a thirst after getting lost among the countless wonders inside.

It’s difficult for me to fathom that places like this still exist profitably in 2018. Please do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. If you do, bring cash that you can donate to help keep the place going, because once places like this close, there’s almost no chance that they’ll be seen again!

This was new to me came with a friend who does model train towns and was surprised at all the work that's been done here I think it's a bit expensive the entrance fee the show the put on when the lights are off is pretty cool the interaction buttons are a nice touch for the kids also , I enjoyed it it was something new for me and it was pretty cool

Kids had a really great time. They especially enjoyed the interactive buttons to operate some of the sets, trolleys, trains etc.

I saw this on a YouTube from Adam the Woo when he visited and wanted to go ever since. Finally got a chance to drive and the place is amazing. During holiday time they have Christmas theme on the village with lights and music. I highly recommend this place!

Wow, we passed this place for years and never made time to stop ... What a mistake, it is awesome!!! In my wife's words, "Its just Magical"

Cool place to check out with the family. The kids will love it and the adults will marvel at the details. It is a must see and part of the history of the area. Don’t drive past this place.
