One the best railroad museums in the USA and getting better all the time. This is THE place for people interested in Colorado's unique narrow gauge railways. The annual Thomas events for the little kids are a huge hit, and steam up days, several times a year, are the optimal times for older kids and adults. But currently something is... more

This 'museum' is more of an interactive train playground. They have many cars for kids and adults to explore. They run their engines and have a regular schedule of rides on weekends. They also have a fantastic miniature outdoor railroad. My 6 year old would have pitched a tent there if he could. We have gone twice to do a... more

This museum is a must for railroad fans. They have an eclectic collection of cars and engines, both standard and narrow gauge. There are also exhibits inside and a model RR in the basement. Wear good shoes, since you have to wander around on the grass, hillsides, etc. to see the equipment up close. more

We love trains and have been to train museums all around the country. This one has lots of trains crowded onto a small amount of land. The best part was the outdoor scale model train layout that had 4 trains running at the same time - over bridges, around trees, etc! Cool! Inside are displays of old train memorabilia. Downstairs... more
