Special Events:

The Spring 2021 Circus Days are going on now!

Come see our miniature towns as they host the circus! Circus themed trains run the rails while lions, tigers and bears (Oh, my!) strut their stuff in the 3 ring circus tent! This event brings back to life the age of the circus train when the real life circus would haul their animals, tents and entertainers from town to town via their own special trains. Our famous 2-rail train will run on the layout every Saturday and other layouts and exhibits will also feature circus themes!

Admission to this special event is included in the Museum’s regular admission price of $10 per person, Children 4 and under are admitted free of charge. Family and group rates are available!

Spring Hobby Show and Sale - Saturday, July 24th

The Fairgrounds asked us to move our spring show due to an event conflict. Our confirmed show date is July 24th.The Museum typically hosts a semi-annual Model Railroad Show and Hobby Sale at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds – Education Building in Saint Paul in May and September of each year. Unfortunately, we had to cancel both shows in 2020 so we are glad to be back, plus a move to July allows for more vaccinations and less risks. The fall show will continue as scheduled for Saturday, September 18th.

What will be there? Operating layouts in several scales! Over 200 tables of new and used scale models; Toy Trains HO, O, 027, N, S, & Z scale plus Antiques, Collectibles, Tools, Books, Videos, Toys, Buildings, Magazines, Prints, Posters, Photos and more!

Show admission is $6.00 for ages 8 and up! Free parking on Fairgrounds property.

(We may add an Eventbrite link for online ticket sales, stay tuned)

Ages 7 and under are FREE!

The show hours are 9:00 am to 3:00 pm

You are probably familiar with Give to the Max Day, Minnesota's largest day of charitable giving right? To help our nonprofits that have struggled during the pandemic there is a special fundraising event coming up from May 1st through the 11th that could help us significantly.

There are daily "golden ticket" prizes that can turn a small donation made by you or a friend into $1,000 or more thanks to GiveMN's corporate sponsors. Please spread the news about this event.
