When I was a kid, model railroads were kind of a big deal. I’m not sure if that’s still the case but I am sure that New Jersey has one of the biggest and best indoor model railroad museums in the world. Northlandz is a miniature wonderland with trains, dolls, an art gallery, and more. Even if you’ve been before, it’s worth visiting again – they had a grand re-opening in September of 2019. Check it out!

Northlandz is in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the World’s Largest Model railroad. You can find it right here in Flemington, New Jersey.
