Modelville Hobby — Local services in Ashland

Had both a 4 & 6 year old birthday party here, it was a Fantastic experience! Every child (and most of the adults) had a big smile on their face the whole time! This is the Christmas-morning-new-slot-car-track experience with all the smiles, but on a much grander scale, and without the hassle of setting up or putting away. cars are included with the rental time, and the racing is easy to teach even a 4 year old (pull trigger, car GOES). They have clearly done this before…. They know how to make an a 8 lane race course work for 12 kids… (the course was on a timer for 5 minutes then shuts down for a minute or two while parents swap their kid to a different lane, swap them out for a break so others can ‘play’).
