The Barron Arts Center 26th Annual Holiday Model Train Show is impressive

Barron Art Center’s Annual Train show is a sight to see.

The Barron Arts Center is located on 582 Rahway Avenue in Woodbridge, New Jersey. The Barron Arts Center used to be the oldest library in New Jersey. However now it’s more of an educational building. School concerts, plays, and even art shows occur here.

An incredible show that happens from the last week in to November until December 30th is The Annual Holiday Model train Show. This is their 26th year in doing so. Each year families and loved ones go to check out this cool sight.

Anyone from kids to adults to senior citizens go to check out the train show. It’s good for little kids because playing with trains is what they do. Seeing it fill a whole room is pretty crazy too. Adults to senior citizens go as well. You’re never too old go and see the trains.

A huge running layout of these trains are what they run on. There are trains running on the tracks throughout the layout. On the layout are a variety of different places in Woodbridge Township. One thing that I thought was pretty cool was that they had the Colonia softball field with players in each position and in the Colonia uniform. They also had the Reo’s Diner located on Rahway Avenue in Woodbridge. So many cool buildings that weren’t just from the township.

Throughout the whole layout there were light Christmas trees and a village that was all light. This train layout was so bright with crazy amount of lights. There was 8 huge boards worth of trains and buildings and locations on this table.

Checking out the annual holiday train show is worth your wild. You can bring your kids and I guarantee they’ll be so happy and amused by all the trains and lights. It’s a family friendly location. As I said before it’s also a great spot for adults to go and senior citizens. Make sure to drop by the Barron Arts Center to see The 26th Annual Holiday Model Train Show now through the 30th!
