A unique attraction in Alaska has been entertaining families for over 50 years. A grandfather built a miniature railroad on 18 acres of land outside Anchorage. The railroad features three and a half miles of track, tunnels, bridges, and scale-model towns.

The attraction was founded by Jack Klingbeil and his wife in 1969 as a way to keep their children occupied. It has remained a family business, with Klingbeil's daughter and grandson involved in its operation. Visitors can ride miniature cars through the wooded terrain, stopping for photos along the way.

Further details about this Alaska attraction are available from the source, including information about the trains and the family's involvement in the business.
