The best children's train table for you depends on your requirements. There are a lot of different kids train tables on the market. There are tables which come with a train set attached and those without, train tables with storage, large train tables, small train tables, white train tables, train tables which provide surfaces for different activities such as drawing. The list is endless. Hopefully, I will cover most of them in this article. I am going to compare the features and value of the four train tables below.

Children's train tables are great for keeping play at children's eye level and keeping all the mess of the floor. Storage facilities in a lot of the train tables make clearing up quick and easy. Just throw all the trains in the storage compartments and everything is tidied away and in the right place for the next play session.

Read on to find the best children's train table for you.

This train table is extremely good value as you are getting a train set and activity table, three-piece train, 2 cars, 7 removable bridges, colorful landscape decals and helicopter for $87. I really like the clever design of the table. The tracks are set in a deep tray providing three-dimensional play and storage when not in use. There is a hard table top to go over the top of the track and this makes an excellent surface for other activities such as drawing, puzzles, board games, lego and other play. The tracks are molded in which is particulaly great for younger toddlers as they don't have the frustration of trying to build a track and no temptation to destroy a track put together by adults. Amazon reviewers report that all kinds of trains and cars fit onto the tracks including Thomas trains and hot cars. This is a large table (14"H x 47"W x 26"D) and there's room for two children to play with it without getting in each other's way. A highly recommended choice.

This train table comes with 100 pieces including a train set, a moveable crane, an airport including runway and helipad and a hospital with ambulance. Therefore there are lots of options for imaginative and creative play. It is a large table measuring 49" x 34.5" x 16.25" so make sure you have room for it before purchasing. It's also large enough so that multiple children can play with it at once.

A great feature of this train table is the two storage bins that accompany it. Just throw in all the trains and cars you have at the end of the play session for quick and easy tidy away.

I think this table represents good value as it's currently for sale at $49.99 on Amazon from one seller. It is another large table measuring 48" x 32". There's a storage drawer for quick tidy away of toys and trains that are played with on the table. There is no train set with this table and the table is blank so it can be used for playing with an existing train set or any number of activities, lego, dollhouse, puzzles etc. The advantage of having a blank table is that kids really have to use their imagination in their play and they can define how the train sets are put together or what the table is used for. The Amazon reviews are very good for this table and they report that it's very easy to assemble. It's a cheaper option and there have been reports have the white paint on the table being easily chipped. However, this is a safe, sturdy table with storage that will stand up to all kinds of child's play. You can spend any money saved on some more great toys to go on the table.

If you're looking for a smaller train table, one option is the New KidKraft Train Table and Train Set. The dimensions of this set are 25"L x 23"W x 17"H. It's a good little table as one side is compatable with lego and the other side is a train table..You can currently buy this table brand new on e-bay. It comes with 200 lego pieces, a 30 piece train set and it costs just $89.95 which is great value.
