Model Railroad Show
Everyone’s favorite Thanksgiving weekend tradition is rolling back into town. And where better to host a model train show than in a former train station? The 48th Annual Model Railroad Show offers science enthusiasts and train lovers of all ages the opportunity to enjoy the discovery process while making memories. Featuring an entire room full of elaborate train displays created by private hobbyists from across Virginia, the Model Railroad Show showcases scaled locomotives riding through intricate landscapes and miniature cities. This year, the blacksmith will be onsite longer, giving guests more time to experience the magic in action. We’re also introducing a new train science demo and bringing back the family-favorite, collaborative train scene build. And don’t forget The Dome! While you’re here, you can see a giant screen film or astronomy show, including our two new features, Arctic: Our Frozen Planet and Encounters in the Milky Way. We guarantee this special event has all the bells and whistles!
