  • It’s a small collection but a very nice break from the convention we attended. Even if you take your time 90 minutes would be plenty of time. Very clean and peaceful. Friendly staff.

  • Our first trip to this museum and we all loved it! Definitely more of a look and don't touch kind of museum. I also asked about kid classes upfront, but they had never heard of that type of thing. We homeschool and many places offer a once a month or every other week classes to get a little more in depth and hands on with the material. Generally they are an extra charge, but usually $10-$15 a class. So I would be interested in these type of classes at the Eiteljorg, or offering suggestions on types they could do.
  • We came for the holiday themed trains and were really impressed! They put a ton of detail in to each set, and it's great to see how they've recreated so many pieces of iconic American landscapes. Our kids really liked walking around and exploring the different scenes. Speaking of kids, the downstairs kids area of the museum is great for little ones. They have lots of hands-on toys that are perfect for younger kids. They would have spent hours down there! Also, parking is free if you park in the main underground garage and get your ticket validated in the museum.
