PAW PATROL Paw-Palooza Moved to August 2021
The health and safety of our visitors, volunteers, and staff are a priority during this public health crisis. As of Thursday, July 16, 2020, the Museum made the decision to postpone the 2020 PAW PATROL Paw-Palooza event to August 13 – 15, 2021 due to the rising transmission rate of COVID-19 in the state of Wisconsin.
As an August 7 – 9, 2020 ticket holder, you received an email on July 16, 2020, providing you the option to donate your admission, move your tickets to the August 13 – 15, 2021 event, receive a gift certificate, or a refund. If you would like to receive a gift certificate or a refund, please send your request to [email protected] or [email protected] by August 31, 2020. Please note that refunds can take between 7 to 10 business days to process. If we haven’t heard from you by that date, your tickets will automatically transfer to the 2021 event dates or a gift certificate will be issued by request only.
We are happy to help if you have any questions. Please reach out to the PAW PATROL Paw-Palooza event coordinator, Jan Padron at [email protected], or the Museum store manager, Chris Gustafson at [email protected]

– Linda B., TripAdvisorWe 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.
– Gerard B., TripAdvisorThe 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.
– Nick P., TripAdvisorI 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.
– Tammy R., TripAdvisorWho 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.
– Mike S., TripAdvisorMuseum 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!
– Dayter, TripAdvisorThis 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.
– Bob H., TripAdvisorHuge in every sense of the word. Massive engines of interesting origins. Very hands on. Majestic testament to engineering.
