Railroad Museum of Long Island — Attraction in Town of Riverhead

It was the best for my son when he was 2, 3, 4 and even now when he is 5. They have the coolest & largest built set of model trains. The best thing is that it's kind of hands on. There are buttons you can push and something happens, like ferris wheel turns, carousel turns on and plays music, wind turbines turn. They also have step stools so that 2-3year olds can see all the happenings. There are a number of models you can play with, like stack barrels and stack ice cubes, coal excalator.
