Train Tables in Cars, RC, Drones & Trains(49)

What size train table should I buy for my child?

Train tables are typically used by children around age 2 and up. The optimal train table for your child will likely be roughly 48 inches by 34 inches, and about 16 inches high. This is the average size train table for many brands. If you have an older child using the table, you can find larger multi-activity train tables that are taller and longer. Look for tables at least 18 inches high for older kids.

Do all train tables also come with trains and tracks?

Not all train tables will also come with track pieces and trains. Some brands provide the tracks but not the trains, and some brands don’t provide anything but the train table. Although, all brands sell compatible tracks, trains, buildings, and other accessories separately. A nice feature of wooden train sets is that they are generally compatible between brands. So, pieces from one brand usually fit together and work with another brand, and they are all compatible with train tables.

What features should I look for when buying a train table?

A storage drawer under the train table is a nice feature to keep trains and track pieces stored away when your child is not using them. Some train tables have a removable and reversible top that lets your child flip to a different scene or a different type of surface. These are sometimes called multi-activity play tables. Look for tables that come with a train set and accessories. The aesthetic of the train table is another consideration. Choose a train table that fits well and looks nice in your intended space.
