We're not railway fanatics so only went to the railway museum as it was raining and my parents had recommended it, but it was really good. If anything there was too much to see so we were "all trained out" before we'd seen everything. As a museum its very well thought out - it does everything right: lots of see... more

An expensive decision for me, but then I didn't spend a penny myself! Tip - don't join the long queue at the first entrance on the left after the tunnel. Continue up the road and use the entrance to the right - much quicker! Lots of people visit this museum, but it swallows them up easily enough in the cavernous... more

Even if you are not particularly interested in trains you will find something in this large museum to interest you.For me the most impressive exhibit was the streamlined 1930s train engines followed by the Royal Trains.I dont think it really matters to much whether or not you can see into the cabs,seeing the trains is an education in itself.also this... more

They certainly have a great selection of trains, but there were only one or two you could go into and you could not really see into most of them.

It doesn't get any better than this if you like trains, a wonderful day or half day out for nothing!!! Plenty to keep young and old amused for hours, from the Hogwart's Express to Mallard. more

Admission is free, it's right next to York Railway Station and it'll keep you amused all day. A great opportunity to get up close and personal with steam legends; there's something for everyone here. We loved it. more

It's a liitle awkward to walk to from the station, but I love the Railway Museum. It's full of displays of trains from around the world and has viewing decks of restoration works on carriages. It's great for all the family and certainly worth visiting. What do you have to lose - it's also free! more

In this museum there is so much to see, you could easily spend al day there! With cafes and restaurants, and a play area for children it's a great day out for all the family. I went with my boyfriend, who loves trains, I was not as enthusiastic I admit, but it was still enjoyable. It is also free to... more
