This is situated just outside town in industrial area. Ample parking and easy access. I believe adult tick is about $9 and kids around $5. When you walk in it showcase the town's, plaza, home, cars, restaurants and oh yes rails. It's behind the glass but the glass was clean and it was mesmerizing. You can see the hard work and variety of real life scenarios. You can about 20 mins to 1 hour depending on your curiosity. The main lights are switched off after a while and in the dark you see the light work in models e.g. lit rail stations or houses. Look out for try me buttons that move something in the models. Kids will love it. Cable car model was the first and my favourite one.

My wife and I just loved the level of attention and detail put into this attraction. If you really one for detail, you could spend hours here picking out everything. The 40 or model trains running through the entire display made it so special. How can you give this attraction anything less than a 5 stars??? Highly recommended.

Hi. Stopped in here for a model train tour. Up to 45 model trains going thru many different scenes thru out the building. Four different people working on this huge model over 20 years. Stop in and check it out when in Osoyoos BC. Only $9.00 for adults. Highly recommend this tourist attraction. Nice souvenir shop when you enter. Train models are up the stairs. Lots of room to social distance. Cheers Greg

This place is a must see. Loved the little push buttons that made the displays come to life. Meeting and speaking with the owner was also a nice treat. The attention to detail and cleanliness of the display was outstanding. We plan to go back for sure.

The push buttons are such fun to watch as you never know what is going to happen. As you noticed lots and lots of fun little details to look for. We do a deep clean once a year or when a certain area needs it, so thanks for pointing out how clean the exhibit is.
Thank you very much for visiting and for your high recommendation.
See you again soon..
