Outdoor is impressing and reading about history is best part. Running trains are detailed and showing old Wilmington is fascinating but could be better. Worth it for the price for sure!

Whether or not you are a train enthusiast, this museum is worth visiting. Adult entry was $10 when we went. It is fairly small, and you could see the whole thing in 2 minutes if you wanted to, but we spent almost an hour and a half reading through all the history blurbs paired with artifacts, watching videos, engaging with the model trains, and climbing on the caboose. They have a well appointed gift shop right up front featuring some model trains for purchase. We had a great time, but we also saw young children and folks twice our age there, so it truly was an experience the whole family could enjoy.

Really amazing little railway museum. Wonderfully interactive, large model train layout. My 9 and 3 year old loved the visit and neither wanted to leave. Highly recommend stop in Wilmington. Will definitely be back next time we're in the area.
