I’ve been looking for places to go where everyone in our family can participate. So far, I feel like I’ve been sitting out with my 2 year old watching my older two go on rides at various places we’ve been to. That gets old after awhile. I want a family thing to do, not just something only part of the family can participate in.
So, I decided to try out Tiny Town in Morrison, CO. It was fairly easy to get to and it was a scenic drive.
When we arrived, I found parking to be a bit limited. It’s good to get there either when they open or in the afternoon after people have started to leave.
Tiny Town is full of small houses, built with different themes. The houses are the perfect size for little ones to enjoy. Many have dolls inside to look at. Children can even play in a few of the houses. One of my child’s favorite buildings was an old cinema showing a Charlie Chaplin movie. The characters sitting in the audience were all Disney characters. So fascinating to little ones!
The part that my son loved the most was the train. There were 2 trains that ran. One was a steam engine that had lots of smoke. My kids didn’t want to ride that one. The other train was more modern looking. Maybe it was electric? We waited in line for this one. The trains alternate so you have to time it just right if you would prefer one train over the other.
All of my kids loved the train. My 2 year old was scared at first, but quickly settled down and loved the ride! The train goes through Tiny Town plus another area only accessible by train. You get to see more houses and themed areas – like a bird town, dinosaur town, etc. My kids all loved it! The best part was that we did it together! I didn’t have to sit it out.
We spent a few hours there. Tiny Town has a picnic area and a playground for the kids. They do sell concessions there, but allow outside food.
Overall, Tiny Town exceeded my expectations. It was a place where the whole family could participate, even my 2 year old.
