Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of miniature railroading at the train show! The train show is designed for children of all ages; for modelers, collectors and enthusiasts; for families in search of good old-fashioned fun; and for the simply curious. Each show features hundreds of tables of trains, accessories, scale models and collectible toys for sale as well as huge operating exhibits, activities for kids, free seminars and educational opportunities, and much more.
The Great Train Show is set to take place on February 10 & 11, 2024, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center, located at 1202 E 38th St, Indianapolis, IN 46205. The show will run from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday and from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Sunday. Tickets for adults are available at $15 for either day, but for enthusiasts planning to attend both days, a weekend pass costs $20. However, admission is free for children under the age of 16.
You’ll see carefully made model trains in many sizes and types on display. The event also lets you meet with people who actually make model trains, so you can learn about what new things they’re working on.
The show doesn’t just cater to adults. There’s plenty to keep kids entertained too! There’s a fun play area where children can play with trains and watch train-themed videos. And as an extra special treat, there’s even a free Thomas Riding Train for kids to ride on!
