Night Trains Season Is Back!

Night Trains® season is back! This special Holiday tradition returns to the Twin City Model Railroad Museum beginning Saturday, October 23, 2021 and runs every Saturday evening from 3:00 to 7:00 pm through the last Saturday in February (except Christmas Day). New this year - bonus nights include Black Friday and the Monday and Tuesday before Christmas!

This year we are kicking off Night Trains season with special Halloween events on October 23^rd and 30^th. That's right, Night Trains starts THIS weekend! Spooky trains and decorations will be featured, treats will be provided, and costumes are welcome. Following weeks will see the museum transform into our traditional winter event. Stay tuned for details on our Santa nights on December 11th and 18th!

Night Trains season brings a winter wonderland to the miniature train layouts in a magical way: the lights are turned down, the buildings and streetlights glow warmly- setting the scene for lighted models of vintage passenger trains. The make-believe towns are buried in blizzards, and throughout the Museum the layouts are adorned with miniature Christmas lights and decorations.

Night Trains takes place at the Museum’s location at 668 Transfer Road, Suite 8 in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Admission to this special show is $15.00 per person and FREE for children age four and under.

Admission is limited each night, so advanced ticket sales are strongly recommended. Tickets are available in two hour blocks (3-5 pm and 5-7pm). Get your tickets at https://tcmrm.eventbrite.com. We will only accept walk-up ticket sales if we are under capacity for the time block. Masks are strongly recommended for everyone over 2 years of age and we ask that you stay home if ill and practice good social distancing while at the museum.

The non-profit Twin City Model Railroad Museum first started in 1934. From these humble beginnings, and through several location and name changes, the Twin City Model Railroad Museum has grown to a world-class museum whose mission is to provide family entertainment for the young and old alike, while preserving a bygone era of Minnesota railroad history.

Help Us Bounce Back from 2021!

The Twin City Model Railroad Museum has delighted guests since 1934, and we've seen plenty of ups and downs over those years. We definitely didn't expect nearly two years of pandemic to impact our daily lives like it continues to do. Revenue has been much lower than usual, but fortunately it is on the rise. Grants, loans and support from our building's owner and financial partners have insured our ability to weather this storm.

However, we are looking ahead! We have the opportunity to expand our museum and offer new programming, birthday parties, additional layout space and more! While taking this financial leap is a challenge given the past 18 months we have the opportunity to gain extra space due to a vacancy next door and that opportunity won't always exist.

You can be a founding partner for this new era of the museum with a donation on Give to the Max Day. Can you help us reach our goal of 150 donors and $15,000? This will significantly reduce our portion of the build-out costs for this new space and allow us to get up and running more quickly.

Please help support this local landmark with a donation on November 18th! Donate now or schedule a future gift now at https://www.givemn.org/organization/Tcmrm
