Weekend Road Construction - Expect Delays

Metro Transit will be working on the light rail tracks near the museum and it will resulting in some detours this weekend. As we understand it, University Avenue and Transfer Road will be fully open but you will not be able to cross the light rail tracks at Cleveland/Transfer Road, Prior Avenue and Fairview Avenue. 

Expect delays and be careful around construction crews! 

Upside? May get to see some unique maintenance-of-way (MOW) equipment! 

Circus Train Month is Half-way Over! 

Check out the Circus Trains during all open hours in April! See our popular O-Scale train (over 60’ long) which consists of animal cars, passenger cars, and special circus flat cars, each loaded with hand-made special circus wagons plus a parade thru “Hamline” and wagon unloading show on the “big” layout.

Additional layouts will each feature Circus trains and / or displays in their own scale.
