I had posted last week about some great things to do on Family day, but we decided to check out #3 on my list this weekend since we're going to see Grandma and Grandpa for Family Day.
The Model Railway Club of Toronto is having a Model Railway Show on February 12, 19, 26th and on Family Day from 12 to 4:30pm. We decided to take my three year old son since he has been a train enthusiast since he was around six months old. I'm not kidding! His first very favourite toy was a train and he has train sheets and his favourite shows are train shows (I think you can guess which one I am talking about).
We got there right at noon and it was already busy but my son was thrilled the moment we walked in.
There were two huge rooms that had a complete railway functioning in them. The operators were telling us that they run it just like a real rail road with schedules and freight to be picked up and delivered. They definitely anticipated having lots of kids as there were benches so that the kids could get up and see things at eye level. I enjoyed myself too! The attention to detail was amazing.
Young or old, if you have any train enthusiasts in your family, I would recommend this event. Parking was free and my son got in free as well (I think its free for 3 and under). I am sure he could have stood there all afternoon watching the trains go by, but eventually it was time to go home for a nap.
