    My son loves trains so this was a great little excursion. It seems the museum is temporarily housed in a trailer as renovations are happening. Still had a small children's play area and shop. You go on a short trip and get off in a picturesque spot near the sea wall for photos. Really nice & funny tour guide on the train.
