We were in town for a few days and wanted to take the kids to different places they like. My son wanted to see trains so we stopped by this museum. It's free, self guided, easy to walk through. You can do the whole thing in probably 20 minutes. It's small but nice. read more

I had a random weekday off and came over to Foley to sightsee and this is one of the places I came to. The model train exhibit is only open on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, so I missed it. Free admission, set in the old train depot, everything flowed well. The person working was friendly and informative. I would recommend to anyone in the area! read more

Great little get away for kids out for the summer. It was a nice place to let the kids run around and the lady who greeted us was friendly and kind. read more

This is a nice little place for a train buff or really for anyone if you just want something to do. The people inside were also friendly and informative. There is a full size caboose and an engine to the side of the building that you can explore a little bit, and I was surprised at the inside of a caboose. Nothing like I like I thought it would be. The railway with different model trains running on the inside is amazing! It's a whole little town and it looks like a place I'd love to live. I grew up in a small town next to railroad tracks so it was kind of nostalgic for me. It's also great for little kids because one of the trains is Thomas the train driving around in the model town. They have several different trains. I didn't count how many. But I would recommend if you're in the area for something to do. And it didn't cost us anything. But they do accept donations, which I would also recommend. read more

What a cool preservation of history. The museum has several unique artifacts. The full size caboose exhibit to walk through was neat. Our daughter in joyed the kid train which had a bell to ring. The model train exhibit was amazing. There's a scavenger hunt which was fun for the whole family. Brought back a lot of memories of my grandpa who collected Lionel trains. Free exhibit but they do take donations. Check them out! read more

This place is so cool, and free! Make absolutely sure that they have the mini train village exhibit open the day you want to come! It is a huge town set up with the cutest details of all parts of a town! They also have a fun game to get the whole family involved in the fun! They also have a cute little train for the kids to ride and a little park too. read more

Very nice place to visit. They have some cool fail cars from the 1920s you can climb inside in look at. The inside has a pretty big model train display you can sit and watch. If you love trains I would d Check this place out. read more

When visiting a couple years back, I enjoyed this little indoor/outdoor museum. However I wish they had more train outside to walk through. I normally enjoy any museum or educational attraction that I can learn about the history of a town or a person, etc. And this town happens to be close to my heart because of some good friends that live there. I found a lot of the facts interesting and not boring or monotonous like some museums/town archives can be. The place is kept very clean and tidy, it was almost empty the day we went so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Very enjoyable! I can see myself coming back through this year since I haven't been in a few. read more

We have been wanting to come here since we moved here , we keep driving by .. Finally we made it.. There are trains outside to look at and climb aboard.. Inside is this awesome train display.. Before you get to that there is a little room of all kinds of information and museum displays.. very interesting.. When i was a child and lived in a little town in ohio , a neighbor had his whole basement filled with wonderful train displays.. We loved going to visit him.. This reminds of that basement altho this is on a much bigger scale.. The kids will love it as much as the grown up kids do.. Make sure you check before going as it is only open certain days and hours.. read more

The kids loved the train ride through the square and then the depot tour was fascinating. Highly recommend when you have small children.

On our Saturday excursion with the girls, we had done the boring and the ghoulish so why not the normal!? Earlier in the day we had passed the Railroad Museum. How about it girls?They were up for it. They offered a "train" ride around the block,a tram with locomotive styled engine pulling it.The kids actually enjoyed it. Inside,they had a terrific model train city set up with a quarter mile of track.One of the cars had a camera on it so you had a train's eye view of the world. There was a drive-in movie, a drive-in soda shoppe,a circus.It was one of the best lay outs I have ever seen.There were some other exhibits in another building and an engine with a couple of cars outside. We had a fun time all for the price of a donation.The museum is staffed by volunteers and is free to the public. read more

Great for the kids. My 2.5 year old is obsessed with trains and he had a great time. . Conductor was really nice and we loved it

This is a really awesome place to spend part of the day at, my nephew was beside himself, while playing on the train sitting outside, to going through the museum, and seeing the huge model train exhibit in action! The people running it we're very friendly and it's free, but please leave a donation to help them keep going, it's worth it! The adults we're having just as much fun! read more

Kids loved this model train display and they jumped up and down for the first 10 minutes. A great display for those who like trains. You can see the grounds and do it justice in about 1 hour. Free admission but worth a decent donation. Clean restrooms. read more

This museum has a nice sized running model train that the children enjoyed watching. The volunteers were also friendly and nice for conversation. There are also several train cars, an engine, a caboose, and a train crossing signal that made for good photo opportunities! Be sure to check hours before visiting, as the models only run a few hours on a few days of the week. read more
