About this adventure
A beloved holiday tradition in North Texas since 1987, The Trains at NorthPark features 1,600 feet of intricate track with more than 100 model Lionel locomotives traveling across miniature America. Kids and parents are mesmerized by detailed miniature landscapes—from the Dallas skyline and Cotton Bowl to New York City, Washington DC, the Grand Canyon, and the snowy Rocky Mountains. All ticket sales directly support the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas, providing a home-away-from-home for families of hospitalized children. Located inside NorthPark Center, the exhibit is completely stroller and wheelchair accessible.
