Summer is almost here!
 
The Mini Time Machine is a great place to be this summer! Escape the heat and spend time in our air-conditioned facility, immersing yourself in the details of our miniatures. You could spend all day here and still not see it all!

Our summer programming is sure to be a delight! On the 26th of May, we will introduce our summer gallery guide, In the Goodie Old Summertime and our Summer Story Series will begin June 3rd. More information on these programs to come in our next E-News. 

Saturday, May 12, 2012 is National Train Day. Celebrate by coming to see Brass Tracks and Railroad Facts: G Scale Model Railroading, an exhibit of garden railway models lent by members of the Tucson Garden Railway Society. On Saturday, paper Jr. Conductor hats and Amtrak Junior Conductor activity books will be available while supplies last! 

Don't forget to visit the videos tab on our website or the YouTube tab on our Facebook page to check out our newest videos allowing you to get up close and personal with our miniatures or the artists who create them!  
 

See you soon!
