This place is desperate need of some kind of huge renovation. The trains are in terrible conditions. The is nothing to eat. No wonder you go and it is always empty. You will be the only car in the parking lot (not kidding)... I went to take a few pictures of my two year old daughter and when I was leaving I was told that next time I was going to be charged $50 dollars and hour because I had a professional camera. What!!!!????..... guess what there will be no next time...They should be ashamed to charge $20 admission to this abandoned yard with old rusted trains

If you want to see the old days of passenger train technology, this is the place. You have to guide yourself. Not real spiffy; not a lot of signage; and the exhibits are necessarily long so there's a lot of walking. But is is fun and interesting. There's a train NASA used, high end passenger train cars, old locomotives, an exhibition on race and railroads. It's also near the zoo.

We went for the Halloween special event in October. Total waste of time and money. You pay to get in and pay again to go on the train. That should be included with ticket price. There were only a couple vendors and maybe one person actually giving out candy to kids. It wasn't worth it one bit. The train was dirty and the haunted train was just a bunch of teenagers screaming at you as loud as they could.

First Saturday of the month is free. Small museum that has 4 rows of train carts. Excellent for small children, beyond that age they maybe be bored. They offer train rides at scheduled time for 6$ as of 2018. For adults there is not much to really do besides the Ferdinand Magellan train cart, that cart in and of itself is a national landmark. It was the train car which several presidents rode prior to air force one. It cost an extra 5$ to tour and is worth the admission, and helps maintain the preservation efforts.

Its like an indoor outdoor museum. they have a nice collection of trains and equipment. And the location is spacious and wide open. Now some people have this thing for Trains. specially tho old types of trains. My uncle for instance would go crazy here. By the way on the first Saturday of the month they have a train ride on Free admission.
