Frisco Train Store

After hearing about FTS from some friends, we had to check it out. As we currently have two train enthusiasts in our midst, this was a home run!
Entering, you’re greeted by a HUGE train set with all sorts of trains to play with. Naturally, our three year old gravitated towards the 3 engines another boy was playing with rather than the 50+ currently not in use. After a discussion about the importance of appropriate social conduct and the need for personal space, we proceeded to play for the next few hours on one of the four huge train tables.
The walls are covered with just about any popular train toy your little, or you kiddo’s little, heart may desire and is great place to stock up on birthday and Christmas gifts if the little ones are into this sort of things. Plenty of engines, tracks, cars as well as tons of books, puzzles and games made it a great spot to see what’s available currently and get ideas of later in the year.
Great place to come and spend a few hours on a rainy or nice day. Very nice folks running the place as well. Don’t feel like standing? They’ve even got a bunch of seating for the adults while the little squirts run off some energy! A great place to check out for any and all train enthusiasts!

This is the PERFECT rainy day outing for my little boy. They have multiple train tables and lots of trains for sharing. The four story large table is quite impressive. Playing doesn’t cost a thing, they just ask for donations.
It gets a little crowded in there on a Saturday morning, but it’s bearable.
They of course have every Thomas train available to buy but they also have tons of Melissa and Doug items for purchase.
They also have a GREAT family restroom with a large changing table and a toddler potty seat.

This is a hidden gem for all kids that love toy trains. They have just about every imaginable wooden train set and accessory i available for purchase. Even better than that though, there is a LARGE, custom built wooden train layout that your kids can play with for no cost so that they can try before you buy. the owners are super nice and always have a smile to share with you. They frequently have special events for little or no cost. I know our family really enjoys this unique kids adventure.

We just moved to the area and after meeting someone who quickly recognized my son’s love of trains she recommended that we pay a visit to the Frisco Train Store. We spent two full hours at the store where both my son (4) and daughter (14 months) enjoyed playing at the train tables, especially the large multilevel one in the middle of the store. The place opened at 10 and quickly filled with children and parents. By noon it was starting to quiet down, but a few more families were coming in as we were leaving. The store has a charming atmosphere and provided great fun for young train enthusiasts. For parents there are plenty of places to sit, free Wi-​Fi and snacks and coffee to purchase. There is a sign upon entering with a polite request for a donation, which I did feel was appropriate as the place offers a wonderful indoor play space on a hot or rainy day.

We took our toddler to Frisco Train Store, which had it’s grand opening this weekend (formerly owned by Whittle Shortline Railroad). It’s really great that they have the wooden tracks set up & let all the kids play with the trains for free. They do ask for donations, so if you aren’t planning on buying anything, don’t be a freeloader. It’s fairly close to home, so should be an excellent rainy day diversion in the future. For some reason, I thought it would be bigger, but it’s really not a huge store.
They do have a very extensive wooden train selection, also have rooms for private birthday parties at reasonable prices.
