To minimize the wait that many of you experienced in the past, and to make coming to an Open House more comfortable, we are now selling tickets for 30 min timed entry slots (you can stay longer than 30min, but please understand that we have limited capacity in the room). We do not plan to sell tickets at the door, but if you cannot pay on-line, we can make accommodation. The number of tickets for each time slot is limited and if they sell out, we will not offer any more. Your ticket purchase is a donation to the BSMRM and all ticket sales are final; we do not have the resources to manage providing refunds or exchanges.
Open House Train Shows
During Open House Trains Shows all three layouts in N, HO and O, plus Trolleys will be operating with multiple trains each. The layouts will be in top shape for you to view and it is a great time for people of all ages. Photography and videography are welcome. We regret that we are not accessible to people with disabilities (one flight of stairs).
Admission is $6 for adults and children 5 and older. Our new ticketing system does not allow for admitting children under 5 for free as we have done in the past, so there is a 25 cent charge for children age 1 to 4 and no charge for children under 1 year old. Why do we do this? For your safety and comfort, we need to manage the number people walking around the layouts and the room has limited capacity. We will not sell tickets at the door, so please book for everyone in your party here.
REMEMBER: If with a General Membership to the BSMRM you get 8 free admissions to Open House events and early access to the Open House ticket sales before they are announced to the public.
