All Aboard! Model Train Exhibit at The Magic House
Kids love trains and Kirkwood is a community that is developed around train tracks. So it makes sense that Kirkwood’s Magic House children’s museum is hosting a special model train exhibit beginning March 12.
The All Aboard! exhibit lets kids start and stop the trains, create realistic train sound effects, learn fun facts about the train community of Kirkwood and even pull a real train whistle. Donated by train enthusiasts Bill and Sally Canfield, this exhibit will be a delight for kids of all ages.
Make a day of it and ride the Amtrak passenger rail line from downtown St. Louis into Kirkwood station and stop for lunch at the Kirkwood Junction restaurants. The round-trip fare for one adult and one child between the ages of 2 and 15 is a mere $11.25.
The Magic House is located one mile north of I-44 at 516 S. Kirkwood Road and offers free parking. Admission is $8.50 (ages 1 and above) and free for members.
