Great, great, great place for kids (and adults) who love trains! I bring my 2-year-old here about once a month, and he loves watching the large model trains run around the tracks. He could watch them all day long! He also enjoys riding the caboose, and playing with the toy train sets. It's a great place to visit!

Best kept secret in the Twin Cities. Nice museum with good hands-on activities for young and old. Don't miss a Saturday caboose ride -runs every Saturday year round.

Smaller than I expected but being able to tour an active roundhouse with actual restorations in progress was great. Much like the NC Museum in Spencer NC where actual work is being done. Nice tour of the facility.
