  2. International Train & Trolley Museum

    Home to the most extravagant model train set you could imagine, the International Train & Trolley Museum is well worth the price if you're into that sort of thing. Toy trains dating from the 1920s to the present day are featured, and an elaborate garden of waterfalls, trestles and 13ft-tall mountains is home to 14 model trains. Among the more impressive machines are a custom-made California trolley and an authentic Mason Bogey with two passenger cars.
