It was a fun day trip with the kids didn't take us long to see everything price was high in my opinion and it didn't include the train ride that was extra alot of the trains were still original so they are dusty. the inside were the trains were is amazing to see .parking was free and off street definitely a must for a family trip to Baltimore also bathrooms are all genders I personally didn't feel ok with that and wouldn't let my kids use the restrooms by them self

Where to park

Clarissa Chaffinch | Oct 7, 2019
Olek Wojnar | Oct 7, 2019

They have a parking lot but it's small and it fills up very quickly. Unless you show up right when they open, or get very lucky, you'll need to find street parking nearby. Fortunately, we've always been able to find street parking within a couple blocks of the museum.

Theresa Nyamekye | Jul 8, 2022
Brad Barker | Jul 8, 2022

Check the hours first. Google shows it's closed Monday through Thursday. But 2 hours at least. If you do one of the train rides they have, more like 3 hours then. Enjoy!
