Northlandz has been restored to its former glory. Clean paint, more trains and lots of cleaning. Anyone of any age will love it! [Bucks_RR_fan, 08/09/2008]

Flemington, New Jersey - Northlandz - Miniature Railroad

We really enjoyed the day. We walked through many set-ups, to come to a sign that stated we just saw 2% of the display! The train set up was huge. After almost 2 hours, watching many trains running through the tunnels and bridges, we stopped at the gift shop for a toy. We then went out to ride the real train. Very nice! The employees were very pleasant.

I would suggest Northlandz for all little boys to see. Our grandson was only 1 1/2 and the display was too tall for him to stand and see. We had to carry him through the entire thing. Just right for maybe a 3-4 year old. [Linda, 05/24/2008]

After driving an hour and a half with my 3 year old son to see the trains, all we saw were dirty, broken down displays, with very few trains running. We were not the only ones complaining. The funniest thing was a sign near a broken part of the exibit that said that an 18 month old climbed into the display and broke a bridge 7 or 8 years ago, so they left it to look like a train wreck. Well, they did get one thing right, Northlandz is a train wreck! [Richard Goldberg, 02/26/2006]

If anyone is waiting to hear good news about Northlandz, your wait isn't over! I regret the time and money I spent for our family visit. Only a few trains were running, the displays and facility needed cleaning and illumination, and our lengthy walking only gave use different views of monotonous mountain scenes. A final disappointment (?) was that the "free" outdoor train ride wasn't working due to mechanical problems. My recommendation -- find somewhere else to go! [Mary Yalvac, 01/20/2006]

[RA: The monotonous mountain scenes and endless indoor walkways are part of the charm of Northlandz. We've received a few tips on the upkeep though...]
