This museum is a must do if you have a train lover in your life. They have exhibits for all age levels. My little boy loves it, as does my father who is retired from the Railroad. The price really isn't that expensive compared to other museums. We've never done a guided tour but we hope to one of these days. We have been many times and we spend about 3 hours here each trip. If you're coming for the first time plan to spend at least a half day here. They have a small gift shop as well.
If you love trains (and who doesn't!)... this is a great family friendly place to go anytime! Lots of public parking nearby as well as restaurants and shopping. There are special events happening at the Railroad Museum all the time! Don't miss this venue when you are traveling through California!
we took our train obsessed 2 year old here . he is now 21 and still talks about it, so we revisited it this year. it was as good as we remembered..
超出预期!门票10美元,里面有10多个火车车厢,以及整整一层的玩具模型,我不是交通迷,但展出详细介绍了150年前的铁路发展史,早年用于高端旅行,送信等,还有华人挖铁路的血泪史
They had lots of engines and different types of carriages inside, nicely restored and well-documented. At least a 3-4 hour excursion for me.
Take your time plan for 2 to 3 hours at least , is very interesting make sure you get to all the displays including the real passenger railcar is a very interesting experience . Is a well laid out museum with the ability to hold your attention with so many different displays. Well worth the time.
I enjoy going to visit this place with my nephews and nieces. There are a variety of trains on site, some where you can even hop on. The exhibits are wonderfully done. A play area for children is on the second floor and a great place to take a break after exploring. There is plenty to keep the kids occupied and a great experience for adults too.
Fab museum for train lovers, really well set up and totally enjoyable experience, staff were very imformative and happy to answer any questions we had about the history of the rail wayand its part in US history.
This is a must see if your into trains while visiting Sacramento. It is the home of the one and only "Cab Forward' Steam locomotive. A rare site to see. The museum is well laid out, with lot's of history of railroading. The exhibits are nice, as well as seeing some steam locomotives up close. Highly recommended!!!!!
This is a must see if you are in the Sacramento area and wish to connect with its rich railroad history. Adult and young will love the fantastic collection of model trains in the upper floors. you will need at least 2 hours min. if you get into it. Then you might need whole day.
