You’ll step into Northlandz in Flemington with an indoor admission ticket that skips any lines.

The details will surprise you — and maybe spark some nostalgia you didn’t expect.

What’s the experience like?

I almost missed the turn for Northlandz — GPS got confused, or maybe I did. Anyway, we finally pulled into this unassuming spot in Flemington, expecting something small. But the building’s bigger than you’d guess from outside. The ticket email came through instantly (I’m always paranoid about that), so we just flashed it at the door and walked right in — no line, which was a relief because my nephew was already bouncing around.

Inside, it’s quieter than I expected. You can hear little kids’ voices echoing off the walls and this faint smell of wood glue? Or maybe old train sets — hard to say, but it brought back memories of my grandpa’s basement. There’s this first moment when you see the miniature world stretching out under glass — bridges, tiny towns, even mountains. Our guide wasn’t official or anything, just a staff guy named Mike who told us Bruce Zaccagnino built all this himself over decades. He pointed out a section that looked like Switzerland and grinned when my nephew pressed his nose to the glass.

The details are wild — little people fishing by a pond, trains weaving through tunnels so small you have to squint. I tried to pronounce one of the place names on a sign; Li (my friend) laughed and said I sounded like I was speaking Martian. We wandered for ages without feeling rushed — nobody herded us along or hovered nearby. It felt kind of meditative after a while, just following the tracks and letting your mind wander.

I didn’t expect to be moved by model trains, but there’s something about seeing someone’s life work laid out like that — all those tiny lights flickering on as it got darker outside. We left with sore feet and a weird sense of nostalgia I can’t quite explain. If you’re near Flemington and want something different (and dry if it rains), this indoor admission ticket is worth it. I still think about those little worlds sometimes.
