We will open on time and hope that all the rain and storms are over for the day! We'll have Shortline Railroad rides and self-guided tours today, Friday September 4th from 10am - 2pm. As always, our rides are weather dependent so if it starts to rain we'll have to pause, but there's plenty else to do and explore indoors!

See you at the Station!

We hate making this post... but the entire campus will be CLOSED, including for rides and tours tomorrow, Friday July 17th due to poor air quality. We hope everyone can find a few fun indoor activities instead and rejoin us next week!
