  Check their website for all of the types of exhibits - too many and varied to list here. Be forewarned that the lower level is a paradise for model train enthusiasts.Entrance is $1 for adults; that hardly qualifies as a fee. Parking was readily available on the street.

  Housed in the old post office built like a sandstone castle, a history of Saginaw is presented. From the relics of the past, it former times when lumber was big, to its industry that supported General Motors in engine castings and transmissions and gears. The life size diorama gives you a peek at the old shops on its once prosperous main street. Down in the basement, a railroad modelers dream with running trains making their rounds through villages, towns and countryside that would keep a child occupied for some time.

  Before I had gone to this museum, I knew it was a post office. What I didn't know was this museum also had detail information about Saginaw.I am glad that I have been there.

  Not much ever happened in Saginaw, Michigan, right? WRONG. The Castle Museum beautifully displays and explains the amazing history of the city which played host to remarkable industrial booms in the 19th (lumber) and 20th centuries (auto). The museum can be viewed in about two hours and there's something for all ages. For $1 admission, the Castle Museum is a no-brainer. Five stars.

  If you want to know the history of Saginaw, Michigan then the "Castle" is where to go. The museum is located in the "Old Post Office" and throughout your self guided tour you will find interesting exhibits of Saginaw's glory years. Admission is very low, I recommend adding a donation to help support this great museum.

  Amazing architecture for a government building. The section on trains was excellent, and the curator of the trains was highly knowledgeable and gladly shared his time with you.

  We drove to the Castle Museum and although we did not enter, we drove around the entire building admiring the architecture. It is a beautiful stone building that appears taken care of, with it's spires and turret areas. On one side we saw a sign saying it was a museum, another sign said it was a post office, another was something like a community center area and another a church. It is downtown but in a pretty quiet area where it would be easy to park. I enjoy architecture and this made for some pretty photo opportunities.

  If you want to entertain your children or grandchildren on the cheap the cost will surprise you $1 for adults and $.50 for children and for that you get a visual history lesson of Saginaw with many hands on exhibits. take in the railroad museum downstairs. takes 1 to 2 hours.
