Visitor tip
Visit monthly or frequently since inventory changes regularly - you'll discover new vintage items and collectibles each time, making repeat visits worthwhile rather than a one-time experience.

Plan to spend extra time exploring the huge model railroad train set with kids - visitors report needing to walk around displays multiple times and children particularly enjoy this interactive exhibit, so allocate generous time for this feature.
