For the first time ever, miniature trains are rolling into Danville's historic train station!

This fall, the Danville Science Center is bringing back Rail Days. For the first time since starting Rail Days two decades ago, the model trains will be set up in Science Station, the 120-year-old train station building that's part of the Science Center. 

This year's event will feature N-scale and T-gauge model train displays from private collectors. With the new space comes new layout opportunities. Don't miss this chance to explore intricate scenes and unexpected details around every corner! 

Rail Days activities are included with Science Center admission, which is 1/2 off Saturday only! Plus, the new touring exhibition Dinosaur Revolution will be open for Rail Days guests.
