OTHER FUN AT THE PARK
- Train and carousel rides are $3 each and will be available until 8:30 p.m. Children two and under can ride for free when accompanied by a paying adult.
- 10,000 square foot model railroad building: “I always like to say that's where our tiniest trains live on the property. It's 10,000 square feet of air-conditioned fun. We have five indoor clubs. They're nonprofit clubs that literally love the artistry of model trains. So, all the different scales are represented inside the model building,” explained Tippett to ABC15.
- The Scottsdale Railroad Museum: This unique attraction showcases generations of railroad history, featuring the historic Peoria Depot, the Roald Amundsen Pullman Car, and various railroad artifacts and memorabilia.
- The Roundhouse and other fun: This new area made its debut at the park last summer. “It is a custom one-of-a-kind indoor play structure shaped as a train. So if you've ever been to the park and you've seen our beautiful number 6 out front, we have what we call it sister number 7 inside, it's just shy of 10,000 square feet as well, so people can come and play indoors, beat that summer heat,” said Tippett.
- Other fun amenities include a splash pad and a playground outside for families to enjoy at no cost.
