The Choo Choo Barn, Strasburg

Owned and operated by the Groff family for more than 70 years and standing as an Amish Country landmark, Choo Choo Barn houses a sprawling 1,700-square-foot mega-trainscape through which 22 operating trains wend their way around more than 150 hand-built miniature figures, vehicles, and scenes. Designed as a bird's-eye view of Lancaster County, the detailed miniature cityscape is complete with replicas of familiar local landmarks Dutch Wonderland and the Strasburg Railroad.

But it doesn't take a train enthusiast to enjoy a room filled with animations, motorized displays, model buildings, or intricate scenes. Those who visit the Choo Choo Barn may also enjoy hand-dipped chocolate, homemade fudge, or other treats at Uncle Leroy’s Ice Cream and Candy Kitchen, while Isaac’s Famous Grilled Sandwiches serves soups, salads, and sandwiches.
