Reviews
"came across this amazing outdoor train layput by accident, super cool New Orleans inspired scenery"
"Love it. Knowledgable and nice fella explaining the photos and the train project and it's actually very interesting!"
"We spent over 3 hours there. A must visit place if you are with kids."
"Really neat and relaxing side to the NOLA area! Enjoyed the quiet serenity of the gardens!"
"Miniature Trains! Too bad, the place is only "open" on Saturdays and Sundays. Despite the trains not being in operation, it's nice to see all the efforts that went into building the miniature replicas of the various sights from New Orleans. There are some really intricate buildings and really cute scenes setup around the main track. My favorite building was the ghastly looking St. Louis Cathedral."
