I would highly recommend visiting and make sure you give yourself time to explore the trains.

It’s a fascinating museum. The kids loved it and there was plenty to see. To me the admission is high. And the “train ride” didn’t meet our expectations. The train literally went back and forth once on the track. I would not pay extra for that. We much preferred the little zoo train ride.

Do they have an actual train ride?

Linda Davis | Nov 7, 2020

There are two train rides. One is a restored train that goes a short distance forwards and backwards. It rides along "real" train tracks and is a "real" train. You ride in the caboose and can walk around while the train is not moving. The other train is (I believe) a real restored train, but it is a different type from the first one. It is about the same size as a caterpillar fair ride, but the train conductor rides in the train instead of standing at a podium. (There are many other differences between this train and a fair ride.) The train goes along an oval-ish track with cute historic-style signs along it.

Ernie Stermer | Nov 7, 2021
Puja Dev | Nov 7, 2021

So, they have this annual family membership through which you can come as many times as you want and ride trains again and again . I recently went at a late time because we had just discovered it.. please buy membership. Itll help them out during these trying covid times where they cannot offer access to all buses, trains etc. There are enough open for the kids and adults to enjoy...you will not be disappointed. Go. Please

As a kid, there used to be a passenger train that had this, 60s or 70s vibe. It had a second story and a I believe dining car that was mostly glass. Is this train still there ? Can someone tell me what kind it is ?

You're probably thinking of the "dome car" - this car has a lounge on the bottom floor, with lots of red, purple, and blue, and has stairs up to an observation dome with several seats with tables. It's still at the Museum, currently in the RTE Building behind Building 2 to the left of the buses as you walk back.

Deepak Kumar | Nov 8, 2018
Robert Burek | Nov 8, 2018

Try on their website, but I've only ever gone up to the booth and bought tickets on the location. It's usually not that busy that the place being at capacity is a problem.
