EnterTRAINment Junction’s popular exhibits to get new home

WEST CHESTER, OHIO (WXIX) - Some of the exhibits at EnterTRAINment Junction in West Chester will still be on display, just at new locations, after the Junction closes in Jan. 2025.

“A group led by Craig Fuller, founder of Firecrown Media, plans to purchase all items on the 25,000-square-foot layout, the Thomas Museum, and the Thomas Outdoor Train. They hope to open a transportation museum in Chattanooga!,” said a post on EnterTRAINment Junction’s Facebook page.

The post says Fuller’s group hopes to have the new museum open by the end of 2025 or early 2026.

“We plan on preserving parts of the name, but we also plan on expanding the scope. So, what we’re focused on is all forms of transportation: it’s aviation, it’s trucking, it’s boating,” said Fuller.

Some of the other items from EnterTRAINment Junction are going to the following locations, according to the Facebook post:

• The Kids Express hand crank car rides are now located at Station Road Farm.
• TrainTastic Interactive Model Railroad Museum will add The American Railroading Museum.
• The Depot Brewing Company in Morrow will have some signage and other items from the attraction.
• Matthew 25: Ministries will get the A-Maze-N-Funhouse, Christmas and Halloween walk throughs.
• And a local church will get Imagination Junction’s soft play climb through to add to their kids center.

The website says Christmas at the Junction will continue until EnterTRAINment Junction closes permanently on Jan. 5, 2025.

The Junction opened in 2008 as the world’s largest indoor model train display and the only train-themed family entertainment center on the planet, their closure announcement reads.
