We ended up at Choo Choo Barn on a recent weekend trip to Lancaster. We were headed to Cherry Crest Adventure Farm (another must see) when it started raining so we diverted to here. The price was right at $14.00 total for myself and my two children. This is a huge train layout but just calling it a train layout... more

It was only $11.00 for our family of three (kids under 4 are actually free!). Our son was enthralled by the trains and all the movement -... more

Definitely not worth the money. According to the reviews I read online, it all pointed something worth taking a look at. Boy did I feel cheated. Save your money and go to another attraction. Heck go to the Amish, there more interesting then the Choo Choo Barn. I enclosed in my review some pictures I took there, just to show... more

What a great place we just happened upon. My son loves trains and the model train display is like nothing I have ever seen. Just Amazing. The gift shops are great for fun novelty gifts, Thomas the Train items and model train items. A fun place worth visiting. more
