Had to see this
We visited in the morning before attending a Packer's game. As a retired conductor, I had to see the place. I was very impressed by the bookstore, Dwight's train and the steam engines. The theatre presentation on steam days was excellant. Former CN conductor.

Very impressive trains, especially Big Boy
The trains and engines were outstanding. The train ride around the property was a little long, maybe just one trip around would have been better on a hot day.

Interesting
I thought this museum was for kids only. We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the museum. The train ride was great and very informative about the history of Hobos.

A must-see for train fans and history buffs.
Who knew that we had a National Railroad Museum? We were so glad we stopped here. Lots of really great stuff to see. Definitely take the train ride. If you have AAA, it's two-for-one admission, or it was the day we went anyway.

Great spot
Museum was fantastic, staff is friendly and very helpful. We went during the winter months and didn't venture to the outside displays. The museum inside is quite large and very informative. Great with young kids!

History up close
This is one of the better national railroad museums. You do not have to be a railroad buff to enjoy the railroad history. Entire family will enjoy. See also the model railroads.

WOW!
Huge in every sense of the word. Massive engines of interesting origins. Very hands on. Majestic testament to engineering.
