I'm not a car enthusiast, but I do love going to museums. It's nice to come over in a nice, sunny…read moreday. I enjoy the interaction, but I'm bummed that some places are closed. I do feel uncomfortable going through enclosed spaces, especially when kids won't stop coughing. I couldn't explore as I please. I also couldn't go onto the trolley as it was not in service. I think it's good for aesthetics, but only if it's crowded or in the weekends.

Did you know that we house one of the largest and best collections of transportation vehicles in…read morethe world? I sure didn't! And it's no surprise with the rich history embedded in St. Louis with regards to automobiles, trains, and airplanes. We weren't really sure what to expect, but boy did this place knock those expectations out of the ballpark! Some things to expect: - This place is great for both children and adults. - If you're visiting purely to view the trains, they're all outdoors so you'll want to plan a visit on a day when you don't mind walking/standing around outdoors for awhile. - Speaking of awhile... expect to spend 2-3 hours. I came with my husband who is an engineer and we spent nearly 4 hours here. I had to drag him out. Literally. He wants to go back. Every. Day. - Prepare to walk. There are some benches scattered outside, but you'll want to equip your feet with some comfortable walking shoes. -Volunteers and workers are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do! Don't be shy to stop and ask them questions. - Here in St. Louis, we often take for granted having free access to many of our attractions. Unfortunately, there is an admission fee here and it's not cheap. There are additional fees if you're interested in a train ride, all worth it in my opinion. The way I see it, it's going towards maintaining the museum... and a great one at that! Hope you enjoy your visit as much as we did!
