There are a lot of restored trains and it is interesting to walk around and see all of them.The museum is right across the street from the train ride, so make sure you do both ( you can get a combo ticket which gives you a slight discount) More

I loved this place. You can go into the trains and pretend you were travelling in that era. They've done a magnificent job of preserving this great giants of yesteryear. Highly recommended for children and adults. More

I've been to Strasburg three times in two years and have went to the museum EVERY time. I last visited in late September 2011 and I'm happy to say they are installing a climate control system. I would recommend to everyone and especially parents with kids. Even if you aren't a rail buff you'll enjoy yourself I promise. I'm going... More

Excellent as usual. Took my 6 year old son, and he went into train overload. Great display's, interactive activities, and a great volunteer staff. Spent almost a full day. Very inexpensive. If you have a young, (or young at heart) boy or girl, do yourself a favor and visit... More

Huge collection of locomotives and train cars. Learned just as much chatting with other people there as I did from the museum it self. A great look in a bygone era. More

We went to the Strasburg railroad first and took the 45 minute train ride (coach was just fine). It was a nice ride through the farm lands of PA . Then we walked across the street and saw the railroad museum. The combo ticket was worth it. We liked looking at all the trains in the huge room. It took... More
