Absolutely wonderful! Jake, our tour guide, was a great source of information. We could have spent forever looking through everything! Wasn't quite sure what to expect, but it exceeded everything we could have imagined! Highly recommend!

Very nice history of the Louisville+Nashville Train and of the Bowling Green Train Station. Small gift shop, museum upstairs, and friendly staff. Got a very enjoyable tour of the train. The history of hobos in the museum was interesting as well. Not expensive.Wheel chair access to building and elevator, but not to get on the train.

Very "kid friendly" and very interesting. Not too expensive and allow about 1-2 hours tops. Age 5 and up will enjoy it.

Took our niece and nephew. It's a wonderful attraction. We will return again with others. It's a 'quiet' wonder that needs more advertising.

It dosn't matte whether you are train fan or not. This is a great place to learn about former modes of travel: dining and sleeping on a train; how mail was delivered before planes, and the experience of sitting in a locomotive. Rare historic railcars not found anywhere within hundreds of miles (Hospital Car and Jim Crow car) make this a place for adults, kids, train fans and history buffs.

We found this by accident driving around Bowling Green after our Corvette plant tour. I expected it to be a rather boring walk through a museum full of locomotives, but found that it was way more interesting than that. Our tour guide took us outside to an old train sitting on the tracks and actually took us onto the train. It was restored from the early 1900's, and we got to sit in the locomotive engineer's seat, went into the mail car and learned how the mail was picked up in rural areas by a hook without the train stopping, walked through a dining car and kitchen, the first, second and third class sleeping cars and even saw the personal car of the owner of the train line. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us many interesting tidbits of information. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Bowling Green.

America was built on the backs of many hard men building the railroad, and the trains that moved us forward. If your kids love Thomas the train, or seeing really big things, they will love this park. Great history lesson, and you can climb up, on, and tour the train. We frequent stopping by here because my 4 year old son loves hanging out here. Whether it's for lunch or a event they are having. This is a beautiful place with friendly and knowledgeable staff.

We entered the museum on whim and we were glad that we decided to stop by there. We happened in right when they were starting a tour of the railway cars on site so we got to experience the mail car, dining car, the executive's personal car and more. It was a definately worth the money and time.

Very interesting museum and tour at the Historic Railpark in Bowling Green, Kentucky. This museum's focus is preservation and education on rail transportation with primary focus on diesel passenger trains of the forties and fifties. The center piece of the museum is the restored engine and rail cars. The cars include restored Pullman cars and mail car. If you have time, watch one or two of the videos in the theater on the restoration effort of the engine and cars. The restoration effort is a costly, time consuming, and a labor intensive effort. The dedication of the volunteers and trustees of the museum is apparent. Overall the museum displays are good but not spectacular. Could use more interactive displays to hold interest of kids.
