Sundance Central is one of the most celebrated large-scale model railroads in the country. Built by hand in Florida, it spans about 45 by 45 feet with 400 feet of hand-spiked track, and spent more than a decade drawing crowds at train shows across the country. In 2024, our Tin City founder and lifelong train lover, Mike English, brought it here to the neighborhood he built from the ground up. It now lives in the new Tin City Train Hall at the park.

Stop by to see this beloved model railroad up close, as part of the festivities at TinSide & Out on December 12th.

The Bottle Coat Check is a service for guests who make purchases from Tin City businesses and would rather not carry them around for the rest of the day. Simply let a team member know and we will collect your items directly from the business where you made your purchase and bring them to our Bottle Coat Check location at 3075 Limestone Way, right within Tin City. At the end of the event, just swing by to pick everything up.

It's December in Paso, and apparently Super El Niño may want to join the fun. Plan for layers, comfortable walking shoes, and maybe a rain jacket or umbrella. We're celebrating rain or shine, so bundle up, come enjoy the neighborhood, and let it pour!
