9 Best Train Museums to Visit in the U.S.

"With more than 100 locomotives and railroad cars, I found the museum's large climate-controlled indoor display of meticulously restored steam, diesel, and electric equipment impressive, and it also features a large operating model railroad. For a scenic complement to a visit, there is nearby access to the Strasburg Railroad, which offers 45-minute train rides through Lancaster County, and the museum provides virtual tours of select equipment if you can't make the trip in person." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

I highly recommend this museum --it's amazing! There are trains from many eras, and the whole way it's set up puts you back into a world of what feels like an old fashioned train station. It's very interactive and educational, and it also has a children's play area. You're able to go into some of the trains a bit, others you can walk into a platform to peer inside. There's a nice gift shop that can fit almost every price range as well, and the museum is situated in the stunning Amish Country right across the street from the Strasburg Railroad.

Me amd my Mom vitied this museum years ago. Few museums are as wonderful, as detailed, as large, and as fun to visit. Good for all ages. A must if you are in the area. Then cross the road and visit the station! And it wasn't crowded. This place needs to become world famous!

Excellent value for the experience. We took a little over two hours to explore the museum after riding the Strasburg Railroad. The kids loved the interactive train exhibit and Lego center. There were engaging activities throughout (hand brakes vs air brakes, shoveling coal, etc.) that kept them engaged while the adults could read exhibit signage. We all enjoyed the trains that we could either enter or view through plexiglass. We were transported to another time and experienced a feeling of nostalgia for a time in which we never lived. Highly recommend!

This museum is huge and so fun for kids and train lovers alike, don’t miss it! We did a train ride then walked across the street to the museum, which worked well. The level of investment in this museum is impressive- it is clean and very well laid out with loads of interactive options for the kids. My family of 5 - kids ages 10, 7 and 4 - could have been just in the museum for 3+ hours easily. They have SO MANY locomotives! Plus a replica “main street”, lego cities (with legos to play with!), books, a tiny city/town/farm area with a challenge of finding several scenes…then ALL the trains! So many! They are all clean and shiny and a whistle. It’s great!

Super giant museum of giant steam engines, carts, miniatures, and many fun sights. You get to go inside many of the passenger carts, conductor and engineer compartments, and marvel at the spectacular size of these classic marvels of engineering and manufacturing. Multi floor with the top housing the large running miniatures which operates like real working trains. Great place to spend a could of hours with the family!

This is a fantastic museum, one of the best I've ever been to! It was only $10 per adult and we stayed for three hours so the value is great. They have an incredible collection of trains and some really fun model train displays. There is so much to look at, and they have lots of cool interactive features. We went on a weekday and got there when it opened so it wasn't too crowded. We were easily able to buy tickets when we walked in after waiting in a short line. It's a really big museum so it's very open with lots of space to walk around. We were staying at the Red Caboose Motel which is only three minutes away so if you're staying there then this museum is a must-see!

Very nice and interesting museum with many steam engines and cars. Funny actions for kids and some good information for adults. I liked it, but I am a rail enthusiast. Highly recommended for rail fans, recommended for "normal" people. 😁
