B&O Railroad Museum

We had a great experience. My son loved all the trains they have there. Super well maintained. Super clean and super organized. Staff was amazing. We went on the 30 min train ride and it was amazing. There is a café with delicious options and a gift store with lots of good a good stuff with great prices. The museum has free parking for the visitors . We had a great time there.

This museum was outstanding. We loved seeing all the trains but the highlight was the tour of their repair facility. Amazing detail, inside and outside, and seeing the tooling was incredible. Would love to go back and spend more time.

A really cool museum. The trains are beautifully restored and full of history. Highly recommend. They have an area for kids to play with wooden trains, books and blocks. The mile train ride was also great. Ice cream on board! The only drawback was it was really hot in the summer so if heat is a factor there is not many air conditioned areas. But we had a great time!

A fun Place to visit. A lot of fully restored old style locomotives. Couple of toy train layouts that let you press a button to run them. The layouts are well built. They had a couple of new csx passenger cars that were at the museum for a limited time. This is good place to visit if you like trains.

The B&O Railroad Museum was a wonderful place to visit! We went there Memorial Day weekend and did not wait to buy tickets. The staff were amazing, knowledgeable and helpful. The exhibits were gorgeous and the trains were in excellent shape. The center roundhouse was stunning and huge! Really special place and I’d love to go back and experience some of their special events they host. Top notch place for folks to experience!!

This was an amazing experience. I took my family to this museum and they absolutely loved it. Coming from near DC the trip on 95 took about 45 minutes. Just a reminder we went on a Sunday morning, keep in mind, traffic was light going northbound. It was just enough time for our son to stay awake and engaged. Once we arrived in Baltimore we followed Google Maps and it took us right to the museum. If you’re unfamiliar with the area stick to google maps. Once arrived it was awesome, parking was plentiful and they had trains outside the museum so my son was so excited to see them up close and personal. Parking was free, and walked inside. The museum is accessible has ramps and amenities to assist. The booth to get our tickets was immediately on the other side of the entrance and we purchased the 30 minute train ride as well. We wanted the entire experience. Prices to enter are reasonable. Once we entered we went through the museum and had a great time reading the information and exploring the trains. They had it all from Union Pacific’s to CSX modern trains. An enjoyable train ride for people and the conductor was super nice to our son. My wife got us food from the cafe and we ate in the car on the way home. Again traffic was reasonable considering we spent at least 5-6 hours there. They had a children’s play area where the kids could play with toy trains and read books while parents sat in rocking chairs and watched. Awesome place to take people and they have an outdoor area as well with model trains and rides for children. Awesome place would definitely recommend and go again.

A must see historic structure and museum collection of railroad equipment and rolling stock. Many take the ease of transportation for granted today, the exhibits showcase the story of progress and sacrifice from the folks that built our world of today with their passion, determination and physical labor. Something for everyone. Check the website for special events!

Fantastic collection of Railroad equipment, from the early days up to the modern Era. Very impressed with the new model RR display depicting Baltimore locations. Museum will appeal to all from the diehard rail fan to anyone with an interest in history. Please note the Roundhouse and Locomotive Shop are not Air-conditioned, plan accordingly on hot, humid days.
