Christmas Gift Guide: TrainTopia

The Mommies Reviews

When Charlie was little he was obsessed with Trains for something new this year I was thinking about taking Charlie and David to Holiday Toy Train Spectacular in Frisco! which would not only be a new Christmas Event for us to check out but a Homeschool Field Trip and would go along with our Lesson Plans on Transportation. Would you like to come with us?

TrainTopia is the Ultimate Family Experience in a Miniature World of Trains

Toy trains and the holidays just go together. For over 120 years, miniature trains have chugged around Christmas trees all around the world. 

Celebrating its 60th year, the Museum of the American Railroad has transformed its TrainTopia model train display into a winter wonderland. 

Over 2,500 square feet of trains travel along exquisitely crafted scenes of Dallas and the American Southwest under ever-changing fall and winter lighting. Visitors are immersed in this miniature world amid seasonal effects and endless features that come to life through motion, sound, and lighting. 

TrainTopia is the perfect holiday family experience that will become a tradition for years to come. It’s a throwback to the big downtown department stores that enchanted kids at Christmastime. Be sure to ask our friendly staff about the scavenger hunts that take you on an even closer adventure through this miniature odyssey!

Located inside the Frisco Discovery Center at 8004 N. Dallas Pkwy., Ste. 400, Frisco, TX 75034

TrainTopia is open Wednesdays – Saturdays from 10:00am to 5:00pm & Sundays from 1:00pm to 5:00pm

Purchase tickets online here or in person.

TrainTopia is a gift of the Sanders Family. It is presented by Amanda and Brint Ryan, and was made possible by the City of Frisco’s Community Development Corporation.

The Museum of the American Railroad is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation dedicated to celebrating the heritage and exploring the future of railroads through historic preservation, research, and educational programming.
