Neighborhood Highlights
All Aboard TrainTopia
Modeled in “G” Gauge (or 1:24 scale), this 2,500-square-foot layout features scenic highlights and popular areas in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. Soaring Rocky Mountains, logging camps, and once-popular tourist destinations are recreated in miniature. Throughout the exhibit, these scenic wonders give way to West Texas oil fields, the spectacular Palo Duro Canyon with its dramatic colors, and the famous Palo Duro Drive-In with a working movie screen and 1950s cars. The exhibit culminates in a 1960s downtown Dallas – complete with an animated Main Street centered on a busy union station.

Can you fill Tim Howard’s shoes and keep a clean sheet? Prove it with an interactive skills challenge – a virtual reality experience that puts you right into the game.

About Frisco
Frisco began with hardy pioneers who helped settle one of America’s newest states in 1845. With all the activity, the community of Lebanon, Texas, was founded along a commerce trail and granted a U.S. post office in 1860. Later, in 1902, a line of the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway was built through the area, and periodic watering holes were needed along the rails to help cool the steam engines.
Frisco was an agricultural center for decades. The population remained below 2,000 residents until a growth spurt in the 1980s. By 1990, Frisco’s location, quality of life, and visionary leadership contributed to it becoming the fastest growing city in the nation, with a population of about 120,000 by 2011. Today (2020s) Frisco’s population lies north of 210,700.
