Whitehead Railway Museum

Didn't go to the museum but they have a cafe there, had a sausage roll and soul, lovely home made food and very friendly staff. Theres a sensory room upstairs for anyone who might need to avail of it and toilets downstairs

Fantastic day spent at the railway. Our guide was fantastic very knowledgeable and made the experience a wonderful one! Would highly recommend. Will definitely be back.

We had a lovely visit tonthe Museum. The tour guide (Richard) was superb and incredibly knowledgeable. The tour itself (80 mins approx) was a little too long for our 9 year-old. The cafe is great and Keely behind the counter was so bubbly and chatty. She really made us feel welcome. The food was very good and reasonably priced. We thought our visit would be about an hour and a half, but all in all we spent almost 4 hours there!

Absolutely Brilliant Museum. Highly recommend. Hidden Gem in Northern Ireland not promoted enough! The place was a lot bigger than I imagined. Staff so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

We went here today and we absolutely loved it. My two kids (12 & 10) were fascinated with the history behind the steam trains. We took our time around the museum and looked at all the objects on display. The staff were very very helpful and welcoming. We had a coffee and milkshakes in the cafe, highly recommend.

We attended the recent 'all aboard for christmas' The railway museum and staff are all lovely. That i cant fault. And the santa presents are fab. However I was not aware that the train doesn't leave the station. These are the words used in the advertising "Begin your visit with a short steam train ride, where the whole family can enjoy the magic of travelling by heritage rail. As the train chuffs along the track, little imaginations will come alive with excitement" it definitely was short.... chugging back and forward less than 50 meters 3/4 times was definitely not getting the magic of traveling by heritage rail. I believe a family had travelled from Dublin for this experience. Id be devastated. We traveled for 40mins. The experience including looking around the museum last 1 hour. I definitely think you need to reword and advise people this will not leave the station. I had to speak to a member of staff for information.. I really hope you win the case against NIR to get the trains back out there.

Excellent guided tour by an enthusiastic volunteer. There's a lot more there than we thought. We spent 2 hours there and had very good soup for lunch.

Family day out, 4 generations of the family together. Nice little journey on the train, the volunteers are rightly proud to steam and share the experience. Fantastic exhibit areas to explore and view engines and carriages at different stages of restoration. The history of rail travel across the region displayed well and very informative. Finally, I give a massive shout out to the staff of the cafe on site. Serving some great value and wonderful food! DOG FRIENDLY our 4 legged friends were welcomed and made for a longer stay! Overall a wonderful experience and visit!
