Reviewers report no entry charge and free parking, with donations encouraged. Kids can climb on real locomotives and there is a small paid miniature train ride. Plenty of shade and picnic tables, and reviewers say tables get booked for birthdays. Bring your own toy trains; the gift shop is pricey.

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.
