Take in classic landscapes featuring miniature trains, snow-covered peaks, engaging activities, and even a few surprises. Watch powered model trains at different scales run through various colorful scenes, complete with intricately created décor, buildings, and even people.

Brand-new activities await: “drive” a train through a snowy mountain scene, discover different trains from around the world, and create your own symphony using train sounds and musical elements. You can also check out smaller wooden train tables where you and your group can move trains by hand and around varied layouts and curves. Young ones can take advantage of a larger, enhanced area featuring train and brio tables, and a design-a-train activity.

This better-than-ever exhibit is a wonderful way to welcome the winter season with your friends and family! Presented in English and in Spanish.

Exclusive Member Night

Members, join us after hours 5:00 to 7:00 pm on Friday, November 22 for a members-only exhibit experience!

Experience a magical miniature world.

This exhibition was developed in collaboration with expert train model makers who spent hours creating tiny trees and adjusting tracks that wend their way through several memorable experiences: charming winter and mountain villages plus Boston (including the Custom House, the Prudential Center, and the city’s iconic Zakim bridge) and a to-scale miniature model of the Museum of Science.

All Aboard! Trains at Science Park was made possible through a collaboration with the Hub Division, Inc., of the Northeast Region (NER) of the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA).
