Description
If you ran across the Gadsden-Pacific toy train museum while it was
still at the Foothills Mall, it might be worth a trip to see its new
home on Miller Avenue. Larger layouts mean visitors can get a better
view of the collection, which includes numerous model trains running
on five platforms. Repeat attendees can also appreciate the ever-changing
exhibits, which are altered regularly to provide a different viewpoint
of the hobby.
Of course, new visitors can expect to appreciate Tucson's only model
railroad museum even more. What child isn't enthralled by miniature
trains? Even if you're not a enthusiast, the train memorabilia that
can be seen throughout the museum will try to convert you.
It may take some careful planning to visit the museum due to its irregular
hours. Be sure to check out the Web site below for updated information.
