  • This place is SO cool. Lots of train themed things around the area. 10 bucks for adults to get in but it's well worth it. There are a bunch of restored trains to see and you can go outside and see more.
  • It was a good ride back into history of locomotives going to this museum. There were many rail engines on display that dated way back into 1900s. The history video was nice and the miniature train set was extraordinary. You can tell that a great deal of effort went into preparing the long and complicated train set, I was simply amazed looking at it and the attention to detail was superb. I wish they allowed visitors into the engines, which would have been great to view all controls. I visited over summer weekend and it was busy and little crowded. Kids will definitely love this place.
