Attraction Information
This is a real treat for toy fans, with rare examples of Britain’s best-loved knickknacks and an interactive Thomas and Friends track that will have kids drooling! Play the day away at Hornby Visitor Centre.
Track over 80 years of history from the tinplate, homemade toys of 30s era Hornby right up to the favourites of today. You’ll see some iconic model trains and 24 extremely rare models cars! There are plenty of intriguing artefacts from yesteryear but the content is light enough that small kids can enjoy learning as much as the grown ups.
What’s great about this centre is the option to get hands on with a spectacular model railway and Scalextric track where super speed fans can race those legendary little cars. Plus make it to one of their Make 'n' Paint activity days so kids can make and decorate an Airfix kit to take home.
