I took my nephew here on Free museum day. I took him up to one of the docents dressed as a conductor, and asked who he was. My 4-year-old nephew told me, "That's a pirate!" The docent agreed with him! It was hilarious. The staff here is so friendly, and they are great with little kids, especially if they have a short attention span like my nephew. His favorite part is the train table where you can play with Thomas the Train toys.

We love the Train Museum! It is a great place to take the whole family. Everyone loves it no matter the age. There are things for adults to do and learn about, and the kids love it too. They have numerous train tables upstairs for the kids to play with. Downstairs you can go onto real trains, a dining car, the mail car, a sleeping car, etc. If you have a little one be sure to buy a Caboose Club membership. It will give your little one (+ 1 adult) into the train museum and on the train that runs in Old Sacramento for an entire year for only $10 per year! It is an incredible deal.

This museum is great for all ages. When I last went, it was a free weekend, so it was a little crowded. They have films that you can watch in an autorium, and they have lots of locomotives. My favorite is the mail car. There's lots of exhibits concerning Railroads. Upstairs, there's quite a collection of miniture trains, and a place for children to play with them.

Kids love railroads! I did when I was a kid, kids surely would love to visit this railroad museum. Here, kids can see real railroads and experience their dream of becoming a locomotive engineer. A rich museum includes a history of Californian railroads and if you are lucky, you can pickup a replica golden stake from the gift shop!

The Railroad Museum is a great place to take your kids if they are grade school or older. This is a really large museum where you can learn about the history of the railroad and the part Sacramento played in the railroad system. It is located in Old Town Sacramento on the Sacramento River. I remember we went through one train and it would jar back and forth giving you the feeling you were actually on a train ride. There is a gift shop if you wish to buy any mementos or souvenirs
