Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the attraction take to see?

Expect to take 1 ½ -4 hours to enjoy all of our attractions.  Many people can spend hours looking at details in the train display. If there are small kids in your group people tend to stay longer in our kids play area.  The A-Maze-N FunHouse is very popular with both young and old.  The Museum will normally take an hour for those interested in railroading history. The longest a guest has told us they have been here was just short of 8 hours!

Are you wheelchair accessible?

We are wheelchair/stroller accessible. Most of our attraction is one story and our overlook area has a certified ADA lift for access. We have a couple of wheelchairs that can be provided to guests on a first come first serve basis.

What are your prices for tickets?

Our pricing for Admission tickets is located on our main ticket page. http://www.entertrainmentjunction.com/cincinnati_shop_model_railroad/tickets  Our best single day admission is our Do-It-All ticket which changes in price based on what attractions we have open.  Our best Deal is our 1st Class Boarding Pass which includes unlimited admission for one year from the date of purchase and tons of other specials.
