Recently visited the Switch Tower Museum, which was not planned on my trip to Connecticut; but it was definitely worth it. Entrance into the museum is free, its a very small walk up, however; the tour guides are so informative, they even let you throw levers. I would definitely recommend making a stop here, especially if you have kids that are interested in train. Short walk from the Maritime Aquarium

Such a cute little place with a short personal tour . Great for kids and adults. Its amazing to see how they used to navigate the trains not too long ago...They even have the telegram machine that they used to coordinate between trains.

Great guides and awesome history. The structure is very cool. This is a must see for kids or anyone who likes trains.

Simply outstanding. If you are in the area, do yourself and your kids a favor and check it out. No spoilers - but if you ever wondered how the railroads worked before internets, youll learn it there.

Paid to park nearby and then found it closed. Saturday at 2 pm. There was a sign up the stairs which said See you next (?) Closed for the season

Great little museum with knowledgeable curators. They give a detailed tour of the building and operations, which includes a demo of the switches and breaker board. You even get to throw some of the levers yourself! The building is in good shape and its clear a ton of love went into getting all the mechanical/electrical systems working again. Highly recommended for anyone interested in trains or the history of the area.

Interesting tiny gem of a museum right over the RR tracks. Enlivens a little-known bit of our rail history... Knowledgeable docents, friendly atmosphere - and the trains do whiz by! Good location in SoNo and worth a visit for kids and parents, both.

Excellent museum very friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. Pretty historic railroad museum, also a decent place to see Amtrak and Metro Norths Danbury and New Haven trains.

Its free and hella sick. Stop by for a short 30 museum trip. Train switches are tubular

Worth a stop and interesting for both railfans and non-railfans.

Small museum, but free and very interesting. The docents are extremely knowledgeable, and if you like trains even a little bit, the material is fascinating.

Informative tour guide, interesting history

Nice little museum. Has a gift shop. Some stairs. Very knowledgeable staff. Very informative and kid friendly.

Surprisingly fun & interesting.

Very interesting piece of railroad and Norwalk history. Worth the visit.

Great to see a saved NH RR switch tower

Small but really fascinating!
