Had a blast with the kids here. Free to the public. Donations encouraged. Big space for the kids to run around and explore. Paid train rides for $3-4 a person. Exhibits were informative and fun to walk through. They offer private events as well for a fair price. Definitely planning on coming more often

I haven't been here since I was a child. I had memories of more trains and climbing all over them as well as a plastic molding machine that would make you a souvenir train. The trains are really cool to look at and there are picnic areas to use. No entrance fee to get in and the parking was free as well. Well worth a visit if in town or to revisit childhood memories.

I had an amazing time at Travel Town Railroad. It’s a fantastic spot for kids, with plenty of space to explore and climb on real trains, which makes the whole experience really fun and interactive. What stood out the most is the amount of history packed into the place. You get a great sense of how trains shaped the USA, with well-preserved locomotives and informative displays that are easy to enjoy without feeling overwhelming. Overall, we had a really good time here—definitely worth a visit if you’re in Los Angeles, especially with kids.

Cool free museum with a fun gift shop! They've got a few exhibits with cool info about local history and trains plus a lot of old vehicles and trains. Could use a bit of updating but well worth the visit

This is a great place to spend an afternoon with your toddler. Lots of activities, from visiting old engines to riding their miniature train, playing in the covered kids area or admiring the model train set. Plenty of shade (so perfect for picnics) and dog friendly. Many of people hiring tables for birthday parties. Just bring your own trains so you don’t have to buy overpriced toy engines and the gift shop.
