For Families

For children between 5 and 12 years old, we offer walk-in projects on weekends, birthday parties, summer, and vacation programs. There are 1001 things to build before you grow up. From Thanksgiving to New Year's our American Flyer train layout is available for children to run during our open hours. Children can build a toy train on the weekends as a Walk-in project.
