Tiny Town. A town that is tiny! I'm so glad I read the reviews first so I knew what to expect. My daughter and I arrived around 11am and we decided to have a little picnic in the back of the car, which seemed easier than trying to carry stuff through TT until we reached the picnic tables. The scenery is so pretty here, which made our little trunk picnic even more special! My daughter is 5 and was probably JUST young enough to enjoy it. We rode the train first--a short but cute ride--and then made our way through the town. She loved checking out all of the buildings, as well as seeing how they were decorated inside. So many dolls and scenes! The playground is sparse and outdated, but of course we had to spend a little time there. Our only negative experience was with the woman working the register in the gift shop. We were buying something, and my daughter picked up a little trinket that you're supposed to turn over + watch the bubbles move. Instead of just asking her to put it down (again: it's for playing with! And it was right in front of her face!) she ripped it out of her hands. While this doesn't classify as touching someone else's kid, it was close enough for me. Overall, a 4-star experience! I'm glad we took the time to go. read more

Since I grew up here in Colorado, I have many fond memories of checking out Tiny Town whenever we had out-of-town guests, but I hadn't been in roughly 25 years and decided it was now time to take my little ones. My daughter is three years old, and that is the demographic this place is best geared for. She was amazed by the tiny houses, and the train ride was a blast. I'm glad I was able to show her a spot from my childhood. read more

Tiny Town is a super fun and very authentic local Colorado attraction that's been around forever. I went there as is a little kid. My mom went as a little kid and today we took my son and had such a nice afternoon. Some of the little houses have entryways so kids can go inside, but mostly you can just look inside. They have a nice little playground area and picnic areas so you can bring lunch in. They also sell a concessions like hotdogs, and they have good ice cream. My dad bought my son too many toys at the gift shop and my son is over the moon about it. (In fact, he's engrossed in playing with one of them right now which is giving me a much needed break;). We rode the train and all in all it was just a wonderful day. Highly recommend checking out Tiny Town. read more

Ok I grew up in Colorado and somehow had never heard of tiny town until this week. The hubs and I immediately had to go and check this out. We love odd quirky moments and this was perfect. For starters, it's 108 years old and still using one of the original trains. The engineers are all volunteer and I think that is so cool and much appreciated that they donate their time. We first rode the little charcoal powered train around tiny town to get a lay of the land. After the train ride (9 minutes), we walked through tiny town. Many of the houses are in various states of preservation, but it still has a kitsch feel that we thoroughly enjoyed. read more

A quaint little tiny town setup marred by a simple refreshments center with hostile staff and a series of anti-child and political signs. Makes you shake your head. There is clearly terrible ownership happening. None of the houses look like they got any restoration in the last 20 years. The newest buildings are all corporate sponsorships like Home Depot and Meyer. The well-tanned lady who was working the refreshments was rude to my wife when she asked for water cups. They only sell bottled water. But she had given cups to the people in front of us. Until they sell to people who care about the park, you should avoid. Seriously, the buildings are falling apart. They also make the train engineers work for free. read more

Friend recommended Tiny Town as a great place for kids (of all ages). Good choice. The star attraction for the 5 and 3 year olds in our group was the miniature train that travels a 5/8 ths mile track in 9 minutes around the park. There is a coal fired engine and an oil engine. Volunteer Engineers know how to keep the kids entertained. Beside the train(s), there are miniature houses and other stuff, some of which can be entered by children. Tiny Town has been here since 1915 and some of the things look to be dated back to then. Other more recent houses have been added. Upkeep must be tough, or at least it looks like it. There is also a playground with swings and slides which was also an attraction. Definitely worth a visit if you have little ones. read more

Cool little place for all kids. The train conductors and volunteers were friendly and helpful and made the experience fun. Neat little route that takes about 15-20 minutes around the property. Lots of small replica buildings for the kids to either peek into, explore inside. There is a playground with slides and swings towards the end of the complex. We visited the concession stand and had ice cream cones which were great on a hot day that we visited. Plenty of free parking across the street, and we did stop into the souvenir shop and ended up getting a t-shirt. There is about 50/50 sun and shade so bring an umbrella and coat up with the sunscreen! read more

Favorite place in the world! Favorite place as a kid, dream job as a teen, great for bringing kids I babysit to, good prices, constant new things-all the perks! Plus it's really close to my house read more

This is a charming little place where the star is the train. And who doesn't love the miniature train ride? Kids and brave adults can even ride in the caboose. It's not overly pricey for an afternoon excursion with kids near Denver. They have food but it's a limited menu, which again, no issues. There is also a small gift shop. I can't say how much is volunteering and how much are paid employees but with land at a premium, I imagine there are hefty property taxes. Locally owned and operated by people who put their heart into their product are far better than anything owned by a nameless conglomerate who only cares about profit. So why 4 instead of 5 stars? For starters, the snack bar is cash only. Yes, there is a convenient ATM but there is also a $3 surcharge. I get that CC machines charge a usage fee every time the card is swiped but a $3 seems on the high end. The other reason was we had a dog with us. We asked before we went in if she could go to and we're told no dogs. I imagine it's because they don't want dogs marking the miniature buildings and dealing with irresponsible owners who won't clean up after their dogs. Fine. No problem. We took turns sitting with the dog so she wasn't in a hot car and there were other people doing the same thing. However, they allowed someone's dog about the size of a bichon frise to wander the grounds and not a single employee pointed out the no dog policy. Moreover, if said dog was truly a service dog, it would have been identified as such and in this case, it wasn't. How do I know you ask? Because my husband said something to them about their dog being inside the park and me on the other side of the fence with our dog. The owner said it was not a service dog. So please, either allow dogs or inform guests of the no dog policy. read more

The lady working in the gift shop is a rude wench. My son and I went to visit the shop on two occasions, once while waiting on the train, and again as we walked into the park. The first time, she muttered that I somehow snuck in on her because she was distracted and had her head down as I entered the shop, I helped her laugh it off by playing it down. The second time, my Son entered first, about 15ft ahead of me. He walked in and went straight to the counter where she stood and picked up a lighted flashlight sort of toy that had fast rotating LED's that changed colors. It was a display unit that was fastened to the counter and working so the kids could look at, and handle it. As I rounded the corner, she snapped at my Son and told him !No, that's not to play with!". WTH! She was snapping at him for picking up the demo model that was illuminated and fastened by cable to the countertop. My Son was immediately offended and turned away, looking at me for comfort. We left that park minutes later. Ironically, I found another review from just days earlier that seems to point out the same person with the same sort of attitude. Aside from the old, and rotting tiny buildings, the train was having trouble and the second one broke down as we arrived. There is no value in this place, at all. It has lost its steam! read more

My sister and I were really put off by the $4 dollar soft serve cones which we received bare-handed. No gloves....not even a napkin to separate Elvira's bare hand from the food I was about to consume. Lololol! Also, watch out for the cranky lady who runs the gift shop. She yelled at my 40 year old sister for bringing her half eaten nice cream along with her into the gift shop. She said "excuse me, is that chocolate?? Is that chocolate?!! No chocolate or Cheetos allowed inside the gift shop because it leaves residue!" I said "oh it's fine, we are grown adults, not toddlers so you don't even have to worry about that." And then we left. read more

its lame now not like it was when i was a kid almost none of the homes can be entered by kids its like taking a ture of doll houses the staff had no knollege of its history but they were not rude the trian ride was lame not like it was over 20 years ago its sad to see such a great place from my child hood butchered like this they should have montained the buildings im gladde i have no kids yet becase i will not take them here when i do. read more

This place was some what interesting, but pretty run down, like it hadn't been updated since 1979... we like exploring weird/unknown places, and even though this was a kids place we were hoping to still see some weirdness. But on the uniqueness scale I'd give it a 4/10, so it's something you could skip if you're coming here just for that. But if you have a child who's under 5, I'm sure they'll have an okay afternoon. read more

Another one of these odd Colorado "historical" obsessions. As a Colorado native who was born here and lived a majority of my life here, I have to say that I don't get it. It's really nothing more than a small tourist trap on the side of the road. Among some of the "tiny houses" you will see here are the porta potties, so enjoy that. At the ticket booth they have a sign discouraging people from paying in any format other than cash. This is a red flag for illegal activity, because money launderers and tax evaders prefer cash transactions with no paper trail. But it seems like most of the money here is being spent on signs telling you all the stuff you aren't allowed to do here. Steer clear of the gift shop too, unless you are in the market for some Chinese knock-off Legos called "Cegos" or other overpriced imported junk. Other than all of those issues, kids seem to like this stuff and the price is fairly cheap. So it could be worse, I guess. read more

Okay, so I rounded my review up a star because I was between 2-3. Pros- it is SO cheap, there is a nice playground set, the train ride is pretty good, they have food and a descent gift shop. Cons- the things you are going to see (the tiny houses) look horrible. A lot are falling apart and in desperate need of repair. There are some that seem thrown together. Overall, it's fine to walk through on a nice day, but its really not worth an extra drive/stop. It maybe took us 15 minutes to walk through everything with a 2 year old. My kids favorite thing was the playground. read more

Was so Excited to make it back to my home state. To coordinate my grandsons birthday party. We unfortnately missed the train tour. And went to gift shop instead. The sales clerk, was NOT kid friendly what's so ever. Very mean. I ended up putting back $150 in merchandise I was going to purchase. Because, she was so mean to my grandchildren. She claimed to be the owner. Which was not true. According to the ticket counter. Personally if you don't like kids, you should find a different profession. I unfortnately Will have to find a new birthday place with trains!! We well not be returning. Very poor experience for both grandchildren and myself. read more

Fun for everyone all ages. I need more characters soooo iiii have to keeep tyyyyyyppiinng. It was a nice cute place to go.

We love tiny town. It's awesome to be able to pop down on a nice afternoon and stroll through the magically whimsical little park. You've got to take the train ride to see all of the hidden things as well. It has gotten quite busy over the past few years so if you're driving in get there early and expect quite a lot of people. Wouldn't even try on a nice weekend honestly. read more

The perfect spot if you've got children under 10 with you. They're got a little train, tiny/ miniature houses and a playground. There are even child sized picnic tables. What's not to love read more

I agree with the significant negative reviews about not wasting your money. This is not worth your kids time for many reasons including: 1) They will be bored after just 5 minutes as there is nothing to do other than look at some old buildings falling apart 2) The one (and only) attraction to this place is the train ride which is nothing worth driving into the mountains for. 3) The staff is not friendly, particularly the manager who is just nasty. We purchased train tickets and it started to rain shortly afterwards, causing her to shut down the ride. But she refused to refund the train tickets and was just nasty about it. Her answer was that we needed to come back another day and pay another full admission to use our train tickets. Really? I would not recommend this place to anyone. I believe their complete lack of customer service will ultimately cause their demise to go out of business. read more

When I read Doctor Sleep recently, I couldn't help but wonder if Stephen King had been to Tiny Town when he lived in the area. Sure he moved the "tiny town" but it seemed to be the same place. . A awesome little railroad that kids can ride. My son (3 at the time) had no issue being alone in the caboose (he loved it). The place also have lots of little houses and kids just get a kick out of these houses.. . and being the giants. There is a nice playground with picnic tables toward the back. . . I would recommend bringing a picnic to Tiny Town and eating in the back near the playground and the beautiful (and large) tree with plenty of shade. Our family had fun, and we will be back. . . read more

Tiny Town Morrison really does appear tiny in the eyes of adults. But my sister, being the child she is, enjoyed it and felt that the houses were fun sized and yet, so colossal. I've always had an obsession with mini versions of things and this park satisfied my love for it; tiny houses, trains, even the fence and the admissions office were adorably tiny. I also loved the little mushroom umbrellas and the admission price are incredibly affordable. I am jealous of the conductor because he gets to drive that mini train all day and just make it fun for the whole crowds. Though some of the park is seen having some renovation going on, the park is still fairly enjoyable and it is open. I think every child should experience this. read more

Super duper cute for little kids and the train was nice. A pretty reasonable price considering how long it's been there

Tiny Town needs to welcome itself to the 20th century! the "handicapped" parking is unacceptable and dangerous! It is a sand pit filled with rocks. The website also explains that the train, that they happily charge for, is accessible to all. it is not! When I questioned about this the owner lied to me, about who she was. The other employee I spoke claimed it was her first day: that seemed fishy. I wanted Tiny Town to be great place for my daughter and I, however, it became a learning experience about ignorance of disability and difference. This place is a TOTAL LET DOWN! Just plan something else. B.T.W They are in violation of several Title II A.D.A requirements. BAD,BAD,BAD read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! We arrived two hours prior to closing and were told the train had already stopped running for the day. We still WASTED $18 to go inside since the park wasn't set to close until 5pm so we walked around and looked at the run-down houses. When we walked back to the front 45 minutes before closing EVERYTHING was closed and locked. We planned to go into the gift shop but it was locked. I saw the owner inside the locked cafe and asked about the gift shop and was informed "we only saw your car so we closed early". She was EXTREMELY RUDE and when I mentioned the park says it is open until 5pm she said "well I can close it early if I want". When I asked for a refund she refused. The owner could CARE LESS about her patrons as she watched me inform my 3 year old who burst in to tears. Again, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY to support someone with ZERO customer service and care! SO SO SO disappointed! read more

It's a cute little place. The tiny building were fun to look in and spot all the tiny characters and decorations. The highlight for my kiddo was definitely the train ride! She went on it 6 times!!! There's a playground too but no shade. We will definitely go again with the rest of the family, but not sure it's enough entertainment for multiple visits read more

This place is seriously so cute!! My kids had a blast! We will definitely be coming back because the prices are so wonderful!

My 10 year old son and daughter loved it, especially the tiny buildings they could go into. They didn't play at the playground, mainly cause it was swarmed with little kids, but they didn't care, they wanted to play in the tiny town. The train ride was enjoyable. Fun to see the other side of the creek that can't be accessed on foot. The kids got so excited about all the details these tiny buildings had. They rode in the caboose and LOVED it!!! I want to give this 5 star, but so many of the tiny buildings were so run down, and abandoned looking, almost gave off a ghost town feeling. read more

Cute little afternoon stop. Super cheap to buy tickets and so worth it. Loved this place!

Nice way to spend an hour and a half. It is a novel little park and the train is cool

My son is a two year old and we just got off the train to go get ice cream in the shop. We all were super excited and then had the worst experience from an old lady worker, I'm guessing the owner. I'm backing up my story to tell you all that my son is scared of loud noises, and was not happy due to the train, and when we went in the ice cream shop the he was finally happy!! My daughter was showing him something on display, and while they were pointing at the display, having a happy moment and giggling, a nasty worker who was working the cash register told them to be quit! I couldn't believe it! I would understand if my 2 and 5 yr old were be obnoxious, but they weren't! I was just happy that my 2 year old was finally having a good time. I looked at this woman and told her "he's two!" and she didn't say a word to me. I'm amazed why they would have such an awful woman working At this place, and for that i will not be going back. read more

Only a few weekends left until this place closes for the season at the end of September, but for any of you parents out there, take your kiddos and check it out! Still love this place, but a few things to keep in mind for new visitors: - Cash only at the concessions counter but you can get cash at the check in line - I recommend bringing lunch and eating at the picnic tables down by the playground (they don't want you bringing outside food to the concession stand tables for obvious reasons). However, I went a few weekends ago and there were so many consecutive birthday parties going on that there was no seating anywhere, so we ended up eating in our car. Maybe bring a picnic blanket in case this happens to you. - The snack bar stocks the typical unhealthy stuff but we always get a twist cone (they do sell adult and kiddies sizes.) - The gift shop is pretty sparse but you're sure to find a memento for your kiddo. - There are a few port-a-pottys but I recommend using the restroom up by the train/concession area. read more

I highly recommend tiny town for any child under the age of 5. The little ones go nuts for miniature houses. Wouldn't you? It's unbelievably adorable, but the best part is that the 2ft. homes each have a purpose as if they were component of a town. For instance, the school house had teeny desks and a teeny chalkboard inside. The saloon had Barbie and Ken dolls dressed like Cowboys and Saloon floozies. That was fun explaining to my niece what saloon girls were. There's also a teeny train that costs $2 per passenger that takes you around Tiny Town conducted by a Santa Claus impersanator that seems almost too perfect for the job. The rates are reasonable, it's not a bad drive, and the kiddos can spend all day there. If you have young kids or a niece and two nephews in town like I do - it's worth a visit. read more

I haven't been to Tiny Town since I was a kid, and my son and I were super bored yesterday, so I thought, why not?? It took me back to when I was a kid, and seeing my son actually enjoying the little houses and buildings was an absolute joy to watch!! I was nervous about the train ride (he's never been on any kind of train before), but he loved it! It's actually really close too, only about a 20 minute drive from Littleton. read more

Tucked west of Morrison on 285, there is a little place set back in time called TINY TOWN. This little weird amusement park boasts a 100 year birthday this year- think back to 1915- that is the 2nd year of WWI and Pre-electricity. Today Tiny Town is a strange but fun remnant of a simpler time, when miniature houses scattered over a few acres of Mountains with a couple of little trains to ride was a major attraction! Today, it is a quick drive from Denver, and a great way to spend a few hours in glorious Colorado weather- perfect for kids, picnics, and especially your inner child who will really love the train ride! Ample parking and inexpensive, take a little trip to the mountains and visit Tiny Town. read more

Tiny town was fun to visit with our six year-old girl and three year-old boy. Many of the buildings contained scenes inside, and my children especially enjoyed the several that they could walk inside of. One big disappointment was that we were unable to ride the train that we paid for, even though we arrived to the station in front of the train at about 3:30, well before the 5 pm closing time for Tiny Town. The train conductor told us that he was putting the train away and there would be no more rides for the day since rain was likely. There may have been a few drops of rain to fall prior to this decision (very minimal, if any), but we did not experience any rainfall after this time. My children and wife were disappointed. Tiny town wrote on our train ticket to allow us to revisit for free, including the train ride. Unfortunately, our vacation plans did not allow us to drive 45 minutes each way back to Tiny Town. This is a fun place to visit for a couple of hours with young children, but try to ride the train early if the sky looks overcast. read more

Adorable "tiny town" to walk through and enjoy seeinh some mini replicas of favorite and or famous buildings that are shorter than you! As well as many just for fun and some for the kids to climb in and play in the train ride is definitely a must and worth it too, lots more buildings you won't see otherwise as well as a beautiful mural. There is also a playground for the kids and refreshment area. Definitely worth the trip and didn't hurt the wallet either, was very happy woth the prices! read more

Great place for the littles, especially 6 and under. So much for their little eyes to focus on. Some of the little buildings are in need of some repair but the whole place is magical with a running creek and the mountain setting. Also have a great playground for all that excess kid energy. The train is also wonderful with a kid only caboose. My 4 y.o. loved riding alone in it. Also the place is very affordable. Just bring a lunch and picnic outside. Weather can be variable so bring layers. read more

Honestly how can you not give this place a 5 star rating - it's $5, free parking and only $2 to ride the train. Yeah, there are some needs for upgrades, fixings, etc - but my hope is my $5 entrance fee, helps that! I love that there are things from around denver - the cathedral from the air force academy, the fort, etc. It is fun to look at the old pictures of how things used to look. We took a couple friends that LOVE tiny things. And the tiny store that sold tiny things set his heart a flutter! It is a fun diversion and something different that colorado has to offer! We were there for probably an hour , including the train ride, but it was definitely a fun time! read more
