Little Amerricka is an amusement park located in Marshall, Wisconsin, USA. Little Amerricka features the 16 in (406 mm) gauge[1] Whiskey River Railway, a 1/3 size railroad operating an array of steam and diesel engines and proto-typical freight and passenger cars with over 3 miles of track on the ground. The line begins at the amusement park and wanders over 2 miles through scenic trees, past the wildlife pond area and then crosses the Whiskey river. Passengers will hear the whistle blow as they go through the tunnel, past the locomotive shops including roundhouse and turntable, over bridges and around a lake.
The location is also the home of Merrick Light Railway Equipment, where 1/3 size steam, diesel, and car equipment are still being built.
Other attractions include 24 rides, including scrambler, tilt a whirl, bumper cars, Ferris wheel, blow up slides, monorail, haunted house, roller coasters, go-karts, an 18-hole miniature golf course, and more.
