The train museum is free to the public. But accept donations. A ride on the train is $10 and lasts around 30 minutes. I had an enjoyable time. The staff were both helpful and knowledgeable.

Very enjoyable if you are into trains and big mechanical things. If you are visiting Boulder City, NV then this is worth a visit. We did not take the Rail Tour because it was over 90 deg. that day and my wife did not want to be in the direct sun. I think the Rail Tour is a great idea. I that the Model Railroad exhibit would have been open, but it was closed for some reason.
