Flemington, NJ - self-billed as the "world's largest miniature wonderland & train museum," the…read moresheer scale of this model railroad exhibit is immense and impressive. Although I'm not a model railroad enthusiast, I do love miniatures, and the details and craftsmanship of this entire enterprise are absolutely incredible and a sight to behold. We've driven by this imposing & austere white building off of Route 202 many times and I've always wondered about it - is it a defunct bank? A religious headquarters? A sanitarium? Well turns out, it was constructed specifically to house the growing railroad model which its creator, Bruce Zaccagnino, started building in the 1970s and worked on over the next 2.5 decades. Despite the size of the building, I didn't think the display would be that big, but the rooms just seemed to wind on forever, and it was interesting to see the scenes from different perspectives as you worked through the levels. There are over 100 trains running on seven miles of tracks! There was so much to see and I had fun studying the intricate details and playing "I spy" with my kiddo. If you're into trains, this attraction is obviously a can't-miss, but my family including our toddler loved it. It's an awesome place to take kids. There are a few raised steps in various rooms for younger kids to step on, but they really ought to install more throughout the complex so kids that aren't tall enough can see the installations better. About 3/4 of the way through, there is a kids play zone area, with lots of seats to take a break. Toward the end of the tour is where you enter the bizarro world of kitschy and creepy dolls (and I say this as a fond devotee of creepy/old dolls...so it's right up my alley and really stirred my goth sensibilities). There are also some organs lying around - the keyboard kind, not the human kind. The outdoor train ride seems cool and we really wanted to ride it but it wasn't operating when we went earlier in the year. Hope it's up and running now. There is a nice and large gift shop with a room off to the side that sells vintage train parts and accessories, in addition to regular toys, gifts and branded merchandise. The whole work is a marvel and I recommend a visit! I'd like to see it again and we will come back when my child is a little older and can take it all in with more understanding and appreciation.

There's a fun children's room too on the second floor to keep kids active if wandering the exhibit rooms isn't for them.

Wow. What a unique, random gem and historic property. What is Fonthill and why is there a castle in…read moreDoylestown, Pennsylvania? Fonthill Castle was the home of archeologist and tile maker Henry Chapman Mercer. (Also in Doylestown are two more Mercer buildings you can tour - the Mercer Museum and the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works building, the business Mercer ran and where most of the tiles in the castle were produced.) Henry Mercer seems like he was an interesting guy, and you can see that in his home - 44 rooms, 18 fireplaces, 200 windows, who knows how many staircases...! And designed and decorated in a way I've never seen anywhere else. The castle is an early example of poured-in-place concrete building and is a mix of Medieval, Gothic, and Byzantine architectural styles. And there are, of course, Moravia tiles (and some historic and international tiles that he collected during his life) throughout the house - almost more than you could imagine. We visited last Saturday to experience their "Fonthill Castle Holiday Lights Meander Experience," which allows you to visit the castle through a self-guided experience (there were staff in various rooms who were happy to answer questions) and enjoy a series of Christmas trees on display throughout the home. I definitely enjoyed the experience but am definitely planning a return visit to see the castle in better light (not at night in the dark - which was perfect for the Christmas tree experience) - they offer 60-minute guided tours though the house for most of the year! The castle is pretty wild, and I look forward to visiting it again and experiencing it in a new way. If you are interested in architecture, art, crafts, the Arts and Crafts design movement, or just quirky, unusual places, definitely add Fonthill to your list and check it out!

We were not so we parked in the lot. The whole museum was open for viewing from 5pm-8:45pm. Live music was great in the grand hall. There were a few tables, the whole staircase was open for sitting. Light fare food was available for eating, and the dining hall was open. It was a fantastic evening for a Pay What You Wish admission April 10-September 4, 2026. You may get your tickets online. Awesome outing for families, dates, hangout. I totally plan to visit again. The live band was very good and local to Philly.

I saw on their site that they have more than 240,000 items there!! 3 floors plus the basement full of exhibits. A map is a must and I was glad to know the tickets are valid 2-days in a row for entry. So although the tickets are $50 per person, it's a good value in my opinion. I really liked the tapestries on display once you go up the grand staircase. The statue of Diana is beautiful up top too. I didn't expect to see so many of Degas' paintings or the actual little dancer statue. So neat!! And the replica Japanese tea house and other Persian art exhibits were amazing to look at. Not shown in the pictures were all the paintings of dogs. I couldn't catalog them all and in fact, my phone battery died from all the pictures I took of it! Although the garage was inaccessible due to a marathon happening, street parkings were available nearby. I wouldn't mind returning again in the future.

From the minute you walk in and see that huge mural on the wall by the entrance , it truly stands out with its vibrant colors, and tiles to the beautiful framed artwork that stands out from room to room, and from artist to artist. If you're handicapped this can be somewhat of a hike, unless you got a spot on the street right across from the entrance like we did. I also recommend if a person can't walk well they use a wheelchair or skip it. There are some areas with stairs while walking so be prepared. If you have small children, a stroller is a must. They do have elevators to get you from floor to floor once you're in the building. It's located on the beautiful campus of Princeton University and it's completely FREE of charge which is unusual nowadays. This is a nonprofit so you can make a donation.It's open from 10-5p every day except Sunday 12-5pm and Friday when they are open 10-8pm. Double check when it's a Holiday, Princeton Art Museum offers over 80,000 ancient and contemporary works. It's a great way to see some amazing art, walk around the campus and take in some amazingly beautiful old building's on the campus. You can walk through town. There are tons of restaurants to choose from and a wonderful artisan ice cream shop. When you arrive at the museum, they have a concierge's desk that you can get a FREE map and ask questions. They have nice bathrooms too.There is also a small gift shop.that sell books, and memorabilia. There's security everywhere. All the guards were very polite and friendly. I got a late start so I didn't see everything, which is ok. I'll definitely be back. Parking is difficult. I suggest parking in a lot a block off Nassau street.. It was only $6.50 for a few hours. If you're lucky enough to get parking spot on the street across from the entrance, it really makes life easier. There is also limited handicapped spots in the lot and on the street.. I highly recommend going on a beautiful sunny day. The campus itself is beautiful. You can take your time and stroll the campus and the Art Museum. There are benches and places to sit in the museum. This is a wonderful place to see and learn about art, culture and history. When you're done you can check out the local bar and restaurant called Dinky's right on the campus. They make all kinds of cool cocktails and serve up some interesting foods.

The rooms are small and the art displayed is a jumble without narrative line or sensibilities. The bad art of first rate artists and a good selection of the second tier. Best paintings - the Kandinsky and the Max Beckmann. The oddest - the smallest Barnett Newman ever. I went for the exhibit on early Jackson Pollack, which was about a dozen early paintings that you'd never look at if there weren't Jackson Pollack's. Note you are best parking on the street on Nassau or at one of the nearby parking lots. The handicapped entrance is a distance from the steps, it looked difficult to negotiate. And, a shout out to the friendliest and most helpful guards.

Our guide was a very sincere former employee of Bethlehem Steel who started our tour asking if we all were up for an hour and a half walk. We said yes. He started his presentation outside the door of the museum. An hour later we had walked maybe a block up a nondescript driveway as we listened to his stories of mismanagement, nepotism and greed within the company. He also showed pictures and told stories of some of the people who worked there over the years as well as some of the products produced. Some of the stories were interesting but an hours worth standing in the road? I finally asked if we were going to be able to go into some of the deserted fantastic looking buildings - he said no. We left the group and headed off by ourselves and found, across from the Arts Center, a stairway that headed up to the rusted gigantic steel stacks and accompanying infrastructure. Although it was fenced off, it was amazing walking along looking up, down, and around the place, almost close enough to touch. This is what we thought we were going to be learning about on the tour. Did we need to know what each gigantic piece did - not really - Did we waste $30 for the tour - sadly yes. Did we go back to see the museum - no. Will we, most likely not. Should you go? Take a look at the pictures and decide - you don't see this kind of scenery very often.

I've been to the Haunted Mill many times myself but this is my first time reviewing it. The ambiance is fantastic. The buzz that's going on around town, on Main St. and at the mill itself is such a wonderful sight and experience during the fall season. All the shops are open and they are filled. The actors from the Haunted Mill walk Main St. entertaining everyone along the way. The actual Haunted Mill experience itself is amazing. The fact that the entire production is put on by volunteers (as it is a fundraiser for the Red Mill) is astonishing. The level of detail put into each building is beyond creative. It amazes me how they're able to keep it new and fresh every year. Now, everyone attending knows that these monsters aren't real and so it's up to everyone to come with a good attitude and a willingness to get into the creepy, scary mood. If you're not getting scared or having fun then, I think you need to look seep within yourself and wonder if maybe it wasn't the best day for you to visit. Yes, the lines are long but that's to be expected. Part of the fun is hanging with your group, chatting and getting spooked by the actors that sneak up behind you. Bring a hot beverage, an ice cream, a slice of pizza or whatever you want and chill, wait on line and have fun.
