“Remember to hug your loved ones and never stop playing.” These simple but powerful words from Richard continue to guide everything we do at TrainTastic.

While our mission is rooted in “Just Train Fun,” it reaches far beyond that. TrainTastic provides high-quality, STEM-based education led by certified teachers, along with one of the most awe-inspiring model railroad displays in the country. We’re proud to be a destination that fuels creativity, learning, and imagination across the Gulf Coast. More than anything, we’re proud to be a destination that reflects the spirit of Mississippi. A state built on resilience and heart. 

As we reflect on another incredible year, we’re looking forward with bold ambition, working to elevate the economic vitality, educational impact, and cultural beauty of our region.

In honor of Richard’s legacy and the future we’re building together, we invite you to our very first Conductor’s Ball. A time to come together, enjoy great food, music, and the spirit of the holidays. Born from a vision to “never stop playing”, this new annual fundraiser will increase access for families across the region, and fuel the continued economic and cultural growth of our small but mighty corner on Pass Road.
