EnterTRAINment Junction

We took Riley to a cool place in Cincinnati called EnterTRAINment Junction. The place is absolutely filled with nothing but trains and Riley loved it! They gave him a cute engineers hat he wore the entire time we were there...

This place has over 2 miles of train tracks that the model trains run along and very elaborate landscapes and mock ups of cities. They were smart and put up glass around everything so you can look but can't touch. You can see some of it in the background below...

They also had a cute kids play place with a huge climbing structure, trains tables, and other smaller train displays with buttons that controlled some of the moving parts and pieces. Even though Riley has his own train table at home, it's so much more fun to play with someone else's!


Like always, Sully was very laid back and just chilled with whoever wasn't chasing after Riley at the moment!


There was a really cute area inside a big wooden train that kind of looked like Thomas. They had a box of plastic coal and some shovels so the kids could practice shoveling the coal back and forth into the engine -- Riley thought it was tons of fun...



And Daddy thought it was pretty fun too!


We switched back and forth chasing after Riley because it's quite exhausting...the person "resting" got to hang with Sully.

They had a really cute track outside with hand cranked little trains...Riley was obsessed! He must have gone around the track ten times when we were there.



You would think he'd be exhausted after going around a few times but he kept wanting to do it again...it was very hot out so when his little cheeks got red, we went inside to take a break and eat some ice cream.

They even had a display of a miniature circus...it was pretty elaborate.

Definitely a place we'll take Riley to again...he didn't want to leave! You would think after all of that he would have fallen asleep on the way home but our little energizer bunny was ready for more. Good thing the weather is nice again so we can take him to a park!
