Trainfest 2012

Description:

Join over 22,000 families and model train hobbyists for enormous fun and endless discovery at Trainfest, America’s LARGEST operating model railroad show. Spend hours entertained by 60 intricately-detailed running railroads. Kids’ highlights include racing trains on a dog-bone shaped track, face painting, crafts and coloring, a circus train ride, and more. Rounding out this spectacular show are model train manufacturers, historic railroads and retailers from coast-to-coast. Trainfest has something for everyone in its 200,000 square feet of display area. This year, Trainfest has created a dedicated area for kids activities called the Kids’ Activity Zone. It’s FREE with admission to Trainfest. This area is just for kids to have fun and learn about trains. NEW Kids’ Activities include: • Choo Choo Bob and the Holy Smokestacks Revue kids’ concert series, Choo Choo Bob appearances are sponsored by Walthers Model Trains, a family-owned company serving model railroading since 1932. • Train-themed story times with Choo Choo Bob Engineers. • A giant Thomas the Tank Engine® inflatable bounce house. • 8’ long wooden train tables for kids to play with. • A beginners’ clinic for kids and parents learning how to get started on a model railroad.
