This round up of train birthday party ideas will amaze you with the diversity this theme affords!

The first steam train was invented in 1804, but did you know that a basic form of the railway goes all the way back to 600 B.C.?

I guess man’s love affair with cross country travel has been long term; maybe little boys are hard wired to enjoy trains! The train theme is one of the most enduringly popular boy birthday party ideas.
