With over 27,000 square feet of tracks, trestles, and trains, the San Diego Model Railroad Museum is a world of wonder for kids and kids at heart. With six exhibits, the museum is one of the largest and the only accredited model railroad museum in the country.
The recent addition of the Centennial Railway Garden leads the way in new technology and sustainable exhibit design, while the Toy Train Gallery, filled with fancy lighting and fast trains, is sure to spark smiles. History buffs will appreciate the fact that most exhibits in the museum are based on actual historic railway lines—this museum truly is an unparalleled experience of art and history come alive.
