Hamburg has the largest model train exhibit in the Northern Hemisphere. It is situated in a large warehouse. We waited for about 1/2 hour in the queue. While we were waiting, a lady from the cafe next door gave all the kids a free icypole, and the adults a drink of juice or water. How kind!
Once we were inside there was so much to see and do. For the kids there are lots of buttons to press on your way around, to make Ferris wheels go around, a man bungee jump, ski lifts operate and so much more. There is even a UFO that hovers over part of a field.
There is so much to look at, and amazing attention to details. The fields of sunflowers were incredible. Beside the field, was a river where a man had drowned...the area had been taped off. Police and "CSI" people were investigating, taking photos and lights on cars flashing.
There were lots of different scenes in the different rooms. Of course there was Hamburg, with terrific attention to detail of the harbour. Also areas of the Alps and also part of the Grand Canyon, and Las Vegas. (although I am not sure why they have parts of America in there?)
They are constantly designing new things to add to it,and extend the rooms. You could spend days in there, and still not see everything. There are all sorts of different trains, and the boys thought this was terrific.
