What a fantastic place to see some awesome pieces of American history. You can even take a picture of yourself in a Ford Model T! The staff is friendly and the gift shop prices are reasonable. This was a great activity on our vacation to Denver, and I highly recommend!

Loved it! My only complaint is that their website, and others that included the museum hours, were wrong. I got there at 2:00pm on a Sunday, and they were closing at 3:00pm. Their website says 4:00pm, so I missed the train exhibits. I must say, when I explained the situation to an employee, the young man took a good deal of time to walk me through a personal tour of the main train exhibit. He even explained the history and renovation efforts (both completed, and future plans). I think they were announcing the closing over the loud speaker, but it was too muffled to understand, and as I mentioned, the website said 4:00pm.

Extensive collection of antique cars in immaculate condition. The trains are impressive, especially the big boy steam locomotive. The gift shop has some very unique gifts as well. Highly recommend.

Awesome collection of vintage cars, locomotives​, bicycles, motorcycles, vintage clothing, and more. We are from Texas, and of all of the things we did in Denver this week - this was the most impressive. The place is ginormous, so plan a good three or four hours. Many of the vehicles are the last ones known in existence. Bonus: look out for the random wax figures of famous historical people.

This place has a really good, varied collection of types of transportation. The are people powered machines, horse drawn machines, motorcycles, and automobiles from various eras as well as manufacturers you may never have heard of. The train collection reminds of when rail travel was the luxurious, fast way to travel and the Big Boy locomotive is impressively large. It is well worth a visit!
