Awesome museum with a real purpose. You can board in East Troy and ride to the Elegant Farmer and return.

I know you're thinking.....FIVE STARS? I rode these trains in the 60's as a kid from 130 South Chicago to the Loop and Hedgewisch , Chicago, Illinois. It was for pleasure and employment. Remember the Red Caboose pub near the ramp to the trains as u take your carry on cup for the ride home. Thursdays and Fridays were the best.

Visited for the Autumn Glow dinner train. I grew up in East Troy and have had a few experiences on the trains. This was a great date night idea! Food was tasty and plentiful. Recommend to any couple of family looking for something a little different.

The museum is nice needs more R.R. antiques. We went for the Electric train ride. We rode to the park, which they had set up with some holloween back drops. They handed out candy to the kids and had games for them to play with a holloween theam.

How long is the train ride with the dinner?

It would be best if you call them.

Can you bring a small dog on the train/trolley?

Cynthia Wright-Kau | Jul 29, 2022
Kristina Camp | Jul 29, 2022

No

- Do you have to sit for the entire ride or can you get up and look around? - Also if it shows two entrees for the ride do you get both or you get to choose one?

Olivia Rakow | Jun 29, 2022
John Monsen | Jun 29, 2022

While the train is in motion, you remain seated. You have a choice of one of the two entrees. The meal is served once the train reaches the park in Mukwonago and remains there while you eat.

Is the dinner train air conditioned?

Teresa Spencer | Jun 29, 2022

In the gift shop, do you sell any HO South Shore cars? If so can they be bought online?

Tim Mak | Oct 27, 2021
East Troy Railroad Museum | Oct 27, 2021

We do not currently sell any South Shore cars in HO or any other scale. We have a new gift shop manager the year, though, so the items for sale may change.

How come I can't purchase tickets online? The message I got was to input a valid day area code, which I did, also would not let me input my state in the box.

Is this attraction wheelchair accessible?

Felicia Clayborne | Oct 27, 2020
East Troy Railroad Museum | Oct 27, 2020

Felicia -- the Museum is wheelchair accessible, but our railroad cars are not wheelchair accessible. If it is possible for someone to be helped on board the cars -- and the wheelchair is one that can be folded -- we can accommodate someone in that way. But we do not have ramps into the cars, and the cars are historic cars not generally large enough to allow a wheelchair to navigate the car.

How many trains can you ride with the purchase of your ticket?

Denise Fini | Oct 28, 2019
Steve Thomas | Oct 28, 2019

Pat Doran's answer is correct - you can ride trains all day with a ticket to one of our regular trains on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Nanette is referring to our dinner trains, which have tables for two or tables for four. Jenny is mistaken -- but I hope she comes to ride more than one train next time
