Though a museum for children, but as a railway enthusiast since childhood I loved this place very much and feel personally that every parent should bring their children here for visit.

As my son is very fond of trains, I took him to this museum of miniature trains. Overall the show timings is of around 25-30 minutes. Showing various miniature trains, cityscapes and landscapes. The story build around to showcase the different items is nicely done keeping the children's in mind. The ticket price is 90/- per head.

This is a layout of railway track, town and highway in a model where the models are operated by a pre-programmed mechanism. This place is good for the kids and adults as well.
The models get stuck frequently while moving and the operator had to prod them with the stick to keep them moving. Audio system got stuck 4 times during the presentation. The management need to look seriously into this aspect. The seating arrangement is not comfortable and could be improved.

The museum has a whole model showing the functioning of the railways in different terrains, cities and countries. The 3D models moves to show the functioning of the railways. Children will enjoy the whole show. The capacity of the room is 40 people per show and the show is for 35mins approx.

I have always had a bit of a fascination with miniature working things and that in some way drew me here. It had certainly been well constructed in many ways but to be honest I had hoped to see more trains rather than moving miniature restaurants and circus tents. This is all done as a show pitched at kids. I don't regard model railways as just the domain of children at all but understandably this may not be the majority view. Pay attention to opening and closing times (they were on a lunch break when we first showed up). Remember there is a minimum of four people or you pay the admission price of four people. I wouldn't say to go out of your way to see this place. The train collection is a bit average so not of great interest to the real model railway afficionado. It could be fun for the kids however.

If you are a Railfan, then this is a must if you visit Pune. It is situated in the heart of the city with a mini show of around half an hour. The entry fee was 90 Rs.

This is a very unique place. An entire rail yard has been built with tiny trains moving around tracks that are built in a way that you can see all the activities that are conducted in a rail yard. Trains changing tracks, shunting tunnel travel etc. My sion had a great time in doing this.
