We took Owen to see Night Trains at the Twin City Model Railroad Museum in Bandana Square. I'm not into trains, but this is amazing. They've built an enormous model of the Twin Cities that fills the room. For Night Trains they dim the room lights, light up the trains and show off their work. Everything is designed and built by hand from scratch. Many (all?) are modeled after real trains: one guy talked about building a train that a buddy of his had driven for years, complete with a miniature model of his friend inside. Owen loves it. Highly recommended.
