Pacific Science Center welcomes back the Annual Model Railroad Show for its 43rd year, January 14-16, for three days of fun for the whole family. Spend your weekend learning about model railroading and the history of Pacific Northwest railways. Guests of all ages will experience hands-on activities and explore dozens of model railroad layouts.
Here are some activities to look forward to for the weekend event:
Interactive Trains – Explore several layouts for children and adults to operate.
Iron Horse Railway – Kids will ride a train under our famous Pacific Science Center arches, always one of the most popular activities of the event.
Dozens of Miniature Layouts – Peek into the small world of model trains ranging from different types of locomotives to a variety of backdrops.
Meet the Minds Behind the Models – Learn the tricks of the trade from expert mini-engineers who have been designing model layouts for decades.
Complete your visit with Rocky Mountain Express now playing in the Boeing IMAX® Theater. Directed by award-winning Canadian filmmaker Stephen Low, Rocky Mountain Express propels audiences on a present-day steam train journey through the breathtaking vistas of the Canadian Rockies and relates the story of the building of the nation’s first transcontinental railway.
Admission to the event is included with general admission into Pacific Science Center, and FREE for Pacific Science Center Members.
