Love walking thru all the shops and finding little treasuresSo happy there is a sewing machine, sewing items store! I needed to get my sewing machine fixed

Very nice display. Lots of lights and things to see. Flashy and fun with good music.

Its definitely a bit of an oddball as far as location and shops, but you can find some cool and reasonably priced treasures, decor and sometimes furniture if you have time to look. The $5 arcade is a must for the kids. The train display is fun once. Great for a rainy day family outing. Theres sometimes a farmers market outside & even a little cafe indoors.

My Grandson enjoyed his day there!

Another must see and do place in the Allentown area! Relatively low admission allows for repeat visits to the show. They feature 30 minute shows with 30 minute intermissions. Small gift shop is available. The display is on the second floor with an elevator if needed.

Really neat train exhibit. Worth the price. Lots of little details. I wish we had more time to checkout all the shops.

Great day and place to meet up take the families and friends. So muchto see.

This place is really neat! I love model railroading, it is a honby I had as kid with my father and it has been handed down to me to do with my grandson! So going to model railroad displays such as this is awesome. For me, this deserves 4 and 1/2 stars!

Great place to spend Sunday morning.

Great platform. Lots to see. This place is awesome.

Had a Great Time at The Horror sideshow Market!!!

Really cool toy train set-up in the Merchants Square shopping center. The shopping center is sketchy, but considering it is a flea market it makes sense. I brought my son and nephew here because they love trains and because of the great reviews and we sure were not disappointed. Adults are $8 and kids under 5 are free which was great. The amount of detail and trains is amazing and you can tell that it took a very long time to set this up. My son and nephew loved the Thomas trains in the back and kept wanting to go back to see them. It was also cool that they had step ladders for little kids to get up on and see. A lot easier that carrying them around the whole time.

Rib were really good

Was good but I wish they did not use realistic style buildings with cartoonish style buildings in certain areas. The thunderstorm is not visible unless you are looking at the pond below, should be lit up better.

Great place to gather with family and friends.

Good quality and ideal service.

Excellent! Check out Back to the Arcade right next door. Old school arcade, good time fun!

Love this place..always see something new everytime we go! People so friendly too!

Amazing display of O and HO model trains and scenery. Each scene is highly intricate and some new is discovered with each visit.

Went to Philly Non Sporting Card Show over the weekend. Saw some of the #GarbagePailKid card artists including #JamesWarhola #GPK

The train at the merchant square is a good place to go to watch your children would love to see see it the display is very cool.

Many Antiques Are Sold Here. They Also Sell Food (Typical Burgers, Fries, Perogies, And Beverages). They Have Home Decors, Jewelery, Embroidery Brothers Shop, And For Sports Fanatics They Sell Collectable Cards. A Great Indoors Experience.

Very family oriented.

This is a flea market with a lot of inventory and vendors. The building is an old warehouse but it is well lit and clean.

Merchants Square Mall is an amazing nostalgia trip!

Felt it was a little expensive for 45 minutes of being in a place. Thats really beautiful, but not able to look at everything at one time.

Its too over the top, and in my opinion, a good display is one that accurately depicts a city, whether in the past or present, which this display does not.

Good place for vintage stuff a bit pricey but lots of options.

I can not believe this place still exists. Its like that awful racist america that you always hear about, but refuse to believe exists. Oh it exists. In all of its camouflaged glory.

Its like a huge farmers market. If you are in to rare finds and collecting things like sports memorabilia, comics, and toys its worth the drive.

Love this place old school retro

I came here 4 or 5 years ago with the grandsons. They loved it. Even if you are not a toy train hobbiest you should enjoy a gander through this exhibit. Incredible DETAILS. It is an ANTIQUE! Not the modern animation exhibits like at DISNEY World and not expensive like Disney either but the old fashion model trains of yesteryear post WWII. With all the old fashion animation. Even skiers going down a snowy hillside.Younger children need help to see most of the set up. If the kids are small be prepared to hold them or else they can see by climbing ladders on wheels that you can use if its not too crowded . But children need supervised on the ladders... I almost got run over by one out of control being pushed around by unsupervised kids. While waiting for the time of the next entry, the kids can play with the remotes of a toy train housed behind a glass cover at the end of the hall. Very friendly staff. You can stay about 45 minutes inside exhibit.

Always a good place to visit. Everytime I go there I see something different. Lots to look at and the kids really enjoy it. Put your dam cellphone away and look at the detail.

Great train layout and great place for model train enthusiasts and for the kids in general.

A great place to take friends and visitors who enjoy train memorabilia. Many cars and parts available. Surrounding shops offer a stroll down memory lane.

I absolutely LOVED THIS PLACE! Everyone in every single shop is super friendly and knowledgeable about the products that they have.

Great antique toys you wont find anywhere else

This looked awesome! I cant wait to bring the kids!

This is a very clean and well organized flea market. I would recommend this place to anyone that likes flea markets.

Its the biggest display of model trains Ive ever seen. It was very cool to see City scapes along with small towns and even ski slopes. I couldnt see the train but the clouds were cool and the thunderstorm too. Kids loved it.

I was never there and found it quite nice. Its a nice old building with old hardwood floors. Place is very clean. People seem to care about the appearance. There are nice shops. I would go again.

An amazing exhibit. So much to see. Times entry on the hour but you can leave and come back same day ticket. Second visit advised as there is so much to see and hear.

Cool place to find collectibles, knick knacks, and antiques

Went to a Horror Event and it was great, although it was small there were lots of vendors. So many cool things to look at and buy.

If youre looking for something obscure this is your place. Great for oddball items and Christmas shopping.

Great arcade. Train show is awesome.

Went for a small convention, that was nice, but it nothing i was looking for. Not to say it was bad just not for me.

Always a treat of antiquities! And the silent auction is always an adventure. But this traditional place is starting to decrease.in visitors, so get over there people! Dont for the WWF museum upstairs!

It was amazing. Love the trains.

Cool place

WOW! This exhibit is amazing! Its fun for all ages. It does close April, May and June for maintenance so plan your visit to see the exhibit. They also have train birthday partys. The tickets are good for the whole day. The self guided tours are 30 minutes then they shut it down for 30 minutes to cool the exhibit. So what are you waiting for? Go see The 8th Wonder of the World Model Train Exhibit. You wont be sorry.

This place is absolutely amazing!!! We had so much fun during our visits that we are planning another trip!

This place has everything a comic book collector or any other collector would want. Go here!!!

I love this place I love the arcade and the trains and shopping

They have an arcade /very vintage alot for the eye to see and they have a silent auction

Lot of trains well laid out.

Amazing place to visit, like stepping back into your childhood and being amazed all over again....

Wouldnt waste my time and money. Might be cool for a 2 year old.

Very nice display of model trains. All items appear to be working. Very clean and organized. Small ladders provided for children to view the display.

Really looking up and now theres an old school arcade where you pay for the day or hour, and its free play, great idea.

Good place for vintage stuff a bit pricey but lots of options!!

Very nice train display very large good for families especially Kidz

Not many stores. The stuff in the the stores are high priced and mostly junky. It was nice just to walk around but i dont see myself going back there for awhile.

Awesome quick tour to keep the kids at bay. The train model was very impressive.

I normally dont patronize this establishment but I had a family member who wanted to see the train exhibit it was very interesting and we had a decent time parking is congested but otherwise its an OK place to go if you have little children that like trains

For this location and for Allentown Pennsylvania this is a spectacular display. Plan at least 30 mins. if you really want to walk through and check out all the different scenes. If you love trains definitely make this a stopping point.

Took the 4yo grandson. Nice train layout with lots of details. He liked it, I liked it. No Northlandz but a fraction of the price. And much closer to home for me. Worth the visit for sure.

Nice exhibit, a bit over priced

Amazing model train exhibit and some cool stores in the mall if you collect things like Baseball cards, Hot Wheels or Action Figures. There is a lot to look at.

Nice shops and a train display.

Great flea market and antique store. A lot of various vendors

Nice place to visit. ...love the train meets they have there

Awesome place

It used to be a great place for comic and action figure collectors to go.Now it feels like a post apocalyptic wasteland

Kinda run down but has some nice displays, could use some new life n a vendor or two deffinitly could be prosperous.

Lots of interesting things to find

Amazing display, wont be disappointed

Its very good

We like the verity of idems are awesome and its a lot of fun too.

Very expansive train layout with night time display. Shows are 30 minutes and run every hour on the half hour. Lots of detail in the train set up. You can tell they put a lot of care into the details. Lots of cool things to find in the displays. The display is very popular around Christmas so try to go not during the holidays.

Nice Silent Auction inside, vendors with vintage toys, house hold goods, and lots of other stuff.

Awesome! Great for kids and adults!

Wonderful train display

Excellent great displayes lots of train s

Cant post anything was closed to july 5th 2019. What i could see i would go see it.

Nice train exhibit but a little hard to find and you need cash for your ticket

This place was like a teasure trove of my childhood. I will be returning

Love Merchants Square! Something for everyone

Amazing display! A little pricey, but the kids really enjoy it. There is a dollar off coupon online.

Love going here. great train layout

Unexpected gem, amazing display!

Fun place to go. Lots of great findings.

Great place for the model train enthusiasts brought my kids and they loved it the host did a great job with his presentations

Lots of old artifacts from your past they also have a multi-million piece set up train station fully running check it out

Awsome place

Intresting things you cant always find in a store

Three large layouts with a lot of cityscape modelled. Not as technically complex a layout as I was hoping for, such as with working switches and signals, but cute none the less. Geared more towards kids than enthusiast. The staff is really friendly and a pleasure to talk to. Overall its worth checking out.

Great!!

Started slow but once I got stairs, WOW !

Amazing!! Definitely a fun experience for all ages!
