When I was a teen they used to have an area in the foothills mall, and during the holidays the winter train scene was unbelievable. Well now they have their own huge building, need I say more. They are a non-profit organization, and donate their time, and raise fund through their gift shop. If you have kids, or are a big kid its a must see.

This place is really cool and fun. The only thing is that most of the train tracks are elevated, making it hard for little kids (who I would think is the main audience for this venue) to see. But tons of really cool displays with working lights and sounds and buttons so that people can operate the different parts. Odd hours (only open once a month or something) but worth a visit if youre into trains or have a little one who is. I even learned that they have a scavenger hunt which would be fun for the grown ups while the kids are captivated by the trains.

Alot of macro detailing and creation by a bunch of fabulous people. All those who work there are so kind and they take there time to explain to our questions. Kids love this play. My son was just 18 months and he was enjoying it so much. There are some play area for kids to play with some train too. And u can even celebrate birthdays with prior bookings.

This museum has plenty of layouts from Z scale to G scales. Garden Railroad, Caboose with a ride on train. Plenty of displays for people of all ages to look at. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They also have a nice little gift shop. Donation only museum. Pretty fun afternoon

What a great place! Everyone is super nice and very knowledgeable about trains. They have such a great atmosphere and wonderful model trains it was an absolute delight for my children and myself. I cant thank them enough for what they do.

Great place for all ages. Lots of hands on to make it more fun. Trains are at all sight levels and they have step stools for smaller kids. They do not charge admission, its donations only. Also a gift shop. Highly recommend for visitors and locals.

Awesome display of operating model trains and accessories in all the well known scales with great landscaping. Lots of showcases of vintage model trains including a nice assortment of Lionel operating cars and engines. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful with answering questions. Well worth a visit.

Its a great place for kids of all ages from new born to not so new born. Okay I am a bit biased because Im also a member, but I became a member after visiting with my 3 year old son.

Cant argue with free. This museum is small but stuffed to the brim with exhibits. Even a mini train you can ride and a real old fashioned caboose. The folks that volunteer their time running the museum really know their stuff.

Currently Closed to visitors.Check the website & facebookFor updates of reopening in 2021.Usually Open September-May on the 2nd & 4th Sunday of the month12:30-4:30 pm.Closed during Summer months.

Best place to go and spend time with family. The place isnt only entertaining for the kids but also for the adults.

Super great place for the whole the whole family the staff was just super and very helpful about answering any questions we had. if you like trains this is definitely the place to go

Great place for train enthusiasts. My grandson absolutely loves anything to do with trains. He had his birthday party there last year and kids (and adults) just loved it. Great train setups and they had kiddy-type train for kids to take a ride. People there are friendly and absolutely the greatest!!! :)

If you like model trains of all sizes (gages) complete with detailed towns and landscapes, running realistically, this is the place for you. Some historical perspective is added by the people running this non-profit exhibit.

I highly recommend Gadsens for all train lovers; children and adults alike. We easily spent 2 hours there pushing buttons and looking at all the different villages and trains. Our children truly enjoyed carrying around the step stools that were provided (thank you) to each of the different buttons to see what each one did. It was a really lovely way to spend a few hours. Also, the owners of the train sets were on hand to patiently answer all of our questions. They were so nice.

Great layouts of all sizes of model train s. Friendly club members, willing to share their model train knowledge.

Tons of model train set ups.. With interactive sections.. Kids love it

Had an awesome birthday party for my grandson there. Staff are great and very helpful. Everyone enjoyed it all. Thank you

Fun time. Great place to visit. I loved it.

Used to be 5 stars... our last 2 trips the volunteers/engineers were exceedingly cranky, yelling at the children outside. The museum itself continues to amaze and delight.

WOW!!! Trains, trains, trains, and more trains! Teeny tiny to great big! What a wonderful outing for kids of all ages!! Lots of buttons to push and see what happens. Real caboose you can walk thru, complete with knowledgeable folks to answer questions thruout the museum! Do plan a visit, you wont be sorry!!

Amazing, fascinating, memorable. Just to see the time and talent it took to put this place together is mind boggling and a MUSTSEE for all.

I bring my 2 grandsons here (5 & 2) and they love it. Great for all ages but very kid friendly. They only accept donations if you can otherwise admission is free, which is good for a struggling grandma. We want this museum to stay open so we give what we can and are able to enjoy what the museum offers. We love this place!

Took my 2 year old grandson who absolutely loves anything to do with trains. Gadsden-Pacific didnt disappoint! Great place, friendly people, and really cool trains. Highly Recommend, we will be back!

Very exciting. Grandkids had a great time!!

If youre an avid fan of model trains of all sizes, then this is a must see! Most trains have buttons you can press and theres even views for the younger kiddos! Great staff too.

Not open today even though their voicemail says so.

This place is inner-kid friendly, very cool for kids and adults both and something for the whole family to enjoy!

Great place to visit with kids, but adults will love it too.

Wonderful model train layouts of several different gauges with lots of information & history. Volunteers were exceptionally friendly & knowledgable.Free to the public but well deserving of any donation.

Great experience for the whole family. My children love this place. Especially the train ride!

My son and I love to visit this toy train museum. Everyone is always so kind and so passionate about their scale model trains. It’s a magical, wonderful place to visit!

Its closed - still there but never open, to bad because it was a great place for the model railroad buff.

Many model train layouts indoors, scales Z to G, with G scale and a 7.5 inch scale ride on outside. Warm inside even in January. Outside was great. Lots of fun for the kids. The ride on train line is pretty long since theyre only open twice a month. Parking is also at a premium.

Fun place for train lovers.

Great train museum to visit in Tucson. You can see all different kinds of model trains in various sizes. The displays they have set up are amazing. They even have a train you can ride outside.

Nice place. I love it and will visit it again

A model train extravaganza. Kids love to see it all. Members love to share their interest and model trains of all sizes. Open houses on Sundays twice a month.

I love the variety of model train scales and especially the large O-guage layout. Surprised to see the old set from early 1900s. Cant wait to go back when the train is running that you can ride on.

This is a great Train Museum. They ask for no cover charge just donations. They also have a railroad train that drives around the property you can write on.

Loved it, children get to press buttons! Great Christmas party!
