Hi! Yes, the Choo Choo Barn is definitely appropriate for your group! The tour is self guided so you can stay as long as you'd like. We recommend to allow at least 45 minutes, but you're certainly welcome to stay longer! We pass out a "scavenger hunt" that will keep the kids engaged as you circle the layout. It's a list of about 25 different things to look for - so the older kids can help the younger kids! Thanks for asking and we hope to see you soon! Kristi Largoza Choo Choo Barn, Inc
