Great experience for the price of 11 bucks. Very interesting info.

This place was great. Everyone was very nice. They led a detailed tour where numerous working models were on display and operated. They were actively switching trains via the turntable, which was really cool. Some of the historic cars were fully renovated inside but were closed due to COVID . They also offered live blacksmith demonstrations some days. This tour was worthwhile, to say the least. We bought the pass for 3 sites so we could view other properties managed by the Coastal Heritage Society. The others were equally hospitable.

Enjoyed the walking tour. Well worth seeing. History is so important. It was awesome to see the trains....All I do is imagine what life was like.Wanted to walk in some of the trains but covud-19 put a stop to that. They do have pictures of what they look like.

Bill was a knowledgeable, fun, patient, tour guide who wanted our visit to be the best to his ability. I learned so much at this museum. $11 per adult is the admission. Well worth it! Lots of history.

I love it here, I love the old trains and history of it all, Morgan issued an informative and excellent tour/demonstration of the steam engine, I especially enjoyed the hand pump rail car with you. I felt like a kid again !! So awesome!! I got myself the toy train in a cool tin box and a whole bunch of postcards and bumper sticker. Huge model train set up of Savannah is awesome!! You all are doing a wonderful job keeping this place going. Kudos everybody!! ️️️️️

I thought this would be cool but every car and engine was closed because of covid. Not sure if it wouldve been any better without covid. The model train layout was dirty, run down looking and only had a single engine going around the track. The turntable was started up but without anything on it, it was as boring as watching a lazy susan go in circles. I didnt think it was worth the cost of admission and only took 30 minutes to walk through it. For the same price, go see The Mighty Eight Museum, its worth the money, educational and not at all ho-hum.

As a railroad junkie I enjoyed this. Its a lot of outside walking so going in July was very hot. Our tour guide Ashley was great in pointing out small details and interesting objects. The staff on hand during our visit was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Will visit again but in cooler weather to spend more time!

Fun little spot to visit. Recommend getting a 3 pass and pick 3 places to visit. I love old trains so it was fun to see. You can go inside some of them, take a train ride (its very short but great for kids)

Lots of fun and educational. Staff was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about engaging the children!!!

The tour guide was great, enjoyed seeing the historical engines.

A sad tale of government waste and decay. However, at least it was saved by the local government. A local not for profit is working hard to restore the facility. Credos to some hard working folks that made our visit very enjoyable.

As a railroad buff I liked it and very glad they kept the old round house not a whole lot to see kinda a smaller museum but to someone who has no passion for railroad stuff might not see the same but I loved the museum myself

Quite a few pieces of vintage rolling stock, unfortunately due to Covid, most of the exhibits were closed. The staff were extremely friendly and happy to answer any questions and show off the exhibits that were still open. Can you ever really go wrong looking at steam trains?!

Great museum with a wonderful full representation of what used to be in every railroad town. roundhouse, classic rolling stock, steam locomotives, diesels,and the works. highly recommend you stop by.

Lots to see here! The grounds are pretty big and your able to walk into most of the buildings. If you do the tour guide expect it to last about an hour, he does turn on most of the equipment that you can see how it works.

Such a cool place of history! My boys loved it! Biggest agave plant Ive ever seen in the garden area! A lot of cool buildings and trains!

Nice place to walk around if you or the kids are interested in trains. Great place for photos. They let you get in a passenger car and push you a few hundred feet with a diesel engine. There is a building with toy train tables and games thats air condition. Free parking. Overall an enjoyable experience.

Working train turn table, blacksmith, and machine equipment from the coal and early diesel engine days. Very knowledgeable guides and plenty to see. Not too expensive either. Fun stuff for the kids to do, closed due to Covid, but hopefully will reopen soon.

Very interestingDue to covid-19 you cant your inside the cars

At $10 for adults and half the exhibit closed did not feel it was worth the money for a family of 7.

This is the largest, ( Five Acers ) mid- nineteenth century rail road building complex in the the U.S.. There are a functioning Turn Table, and Three Tenders; one steam, two diesel. ( Havent seen the Steam Tender in quite a while - Why ? ) However, it seems to be under the control of bureaucrats, and not Blue Collar Workers, who, by definition, Know more than the afore mentioned. I think, kinda, maybe. Humbly submitted.

Pretty cool visit. Learning about the railroad system was great. Had a guide and he did great job explaining and showing us

1 day ago ago Great place to learn about our history.The historians on staff are the real treasure bringing all the history to life with stories of the era.really liked the museum, thank you so much

Chase was very knowledgeable and fun for our tour. Fun for the adults and kids.

Lots of great stuff to see here. Nice locomotives and rolling stock. The shop is fantastic. Be sure to see how the ventilation system was designed.

Super fun. Great price. The tour was great and the people were nice. This is a great place. Totally recommend

We have been before and absolutely loved the museum, but we tried recently to go again and struggled to find accurate info about if or when the museum would be open. Fantastic museum, but an update on the website hours would be awesome

This historic venue is super enjoyable both for those who want an informational tour and families who want the kids to see trains up close. The Roundhouse and turntable are beautifully preserved and there are numerous cars and several engines to explore. On most weekends there are train rides which are a real bonus. There is so much to see and absorb that if we lived in the area an annual pass would be in order. If you love trains and/or history, definitely add this stop.

Great place to visit. Awesome history.

Closed due to Covid-19. Looks interesting from outside.

Pretty cool museum if you like trains. Unfortunately a lot of places were blocked off and not allowed inside the trains because of the coronavirus and restrictions.

It was cool to see the trains and the really old buildings.

The MANY craft activities were awesome! Getting to watch the gentlemen make the toys of wood was extra special. The train ride was very short but still fun.

A little lack luster. Cars are all locked without a guided tour, which run infrequently. Very little history provided. We were done in 45 min.

One of Savannahs most beautiful venues! This historical museum is filled with vintage trains, breezy walkways and charming architecture! The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly! It is a perfect location for an elegant wedding or event! We highly recommend it!

Great guided tour but be prepared to wear your COVID mask OUTSIDE

Excellent opportunity to experience Georgia steam era railroading first hand. The tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable in the overall operation and functionality of the entire site as well as individual buildings and work areas. There are also activities to keep younger children busy when they become uninterested in the historical presentations. Would definitely recommend for anyone interested in either local history or railroad history in general.

This was my favorite stop in Savannah! The history, and they let you explore basically everything. The entire campus has trains, buildings, history around every corner. The family spent over an hour just looking. The train ride was good, gives you a feeling of riding in an old train. It is an open air car so my family was cold the day we went. Otherwise, awesome experience. FYI, if you have children, you have to do the childrens museum! That place is out-of-this-world. My kids might have stayed all day.

Small but fun I enjoyed riding the train and seeing the model trains Cool !

Great history. Not much going on due to COVID-19, but always enjoyable to see our historic railcars.

My son is a trian lover. He loved it! This is a great place to visit, and you gets lots of information from the guided tours.

Georgia State Railroad Museum is one of the great places. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Most of the objects have been preserved really well. Plenty of open and green spaces to roam around. There are multiple old trains and coaches to peek into the history. Highly recommend for kids, as it has great playing area. Also the tour guide explain engine mechanism so great. Fees is quite nominal with free parking. I saw group of school kids and I saw how much those kids enjoyed. I will definitely recommend it specially for kids or young family.

Great place ! Had my first experience traveling on a steam engine train. There was a huge turn table. Friendly and informative guide explained us about the history of this place.Anyone can spend good half a day here by visiting all the spots in the museum.Also nice place to take pictures ;)

Visiting Georgia, this was the second time we came to the Roundhouse museum. Theyve done a lot of work since the last time I was here. Its a great place for train aficionados to visit.

Took the kids and they were able to ride a train, stand in a cab, tour passenger cars, and just enjoy each other’s company. It is a pretty cool place with history of the Southern Railroad. You can do everything in about 90 mins.

I am sure that if the cars and train ride were open it would be a good value, but it wasnt worth the admission given that you are basically just walking around outside the lot the whole time.

Well worth it. You will learn alot

Great museum; cheap, large, entertaining. Lots to see. Great for kids. Much of it is outside with no shade so wear sunblock!

Our favorite museum so far in Savannah. Helpful and friendly staff. Knowledgeable guides. Great part of American history. Loved the steam engines & the buildings! Also the work shop displaying the tools and equipment used for repairs and upkeep on the trains was very informative. My Great Grandfather was a section Foreman on the ACL, from Pelham, Ga. After seeing this, I have a whole new respect for him.

This place is great for learning history. I took several pictures here. Its very beautiful.

Nice one hour history lesson. My grands and I enjoyed it.

So cute! Unfortunately the childrens museum was closed for weather but it looked so awesome!

Fantastic museum for all ages, trains and work shops, train rides and other cool pieces of transportation history.

Its just an old train yard. Very little explanation of what its about. No discussion of the development of railroads in the economic and political history of the region. They should visit the California railroad museum in Sacramento. Actually, so should anybody interested in railroads and history. Thats a real museum.

Right price for what there is to see. This is a great small, interesting museum. They have a cute little store which I really enjoyed looking through.Learn from my mistakes by reviewing my tips:- I wouldn’t take small, temperamental children. And especially not on a hot summer day.- Be aware that there is a schedule for touring the different train cars, so get there early or there won’t be much to enjoy- Consider an adult-only stroll through so you can really enjoy it. :)- Check our the passes available to you because there are 3 day pass options and others I can’t recall.- If going with kids coordinate your visit with open hours of the children’s “museum” as well.I didn’t do my research for the long day trip here. And as a result I didn’t really enjoy my visit with my temperamental 3 year old. I personally feel like 98% of this museum is most interesting to adults, but with a little planning it could’ve been more enjoyable.

Great explanation of steam engines. Learned alot about life during the railroad era

Very cool place. Does not take much time to do but there is alot of cool train cars and some buildings to check out. Really hope they will keep expanding this place and get the support they need! And Natalie our tour guide was awesome!!!!!

Great museum. If you have a child that loves Thomas the train, they have the turntable. It was awesome.

Lots of RailRoad History here but could be more. Nothing like Californias State RR museum. Really needs real tracks into the museum this place could be so much more and attract big crowds if it was funded well and with an eye towards showing real railroad history.

Fun tours on site. Pumping the handcar up and down the track and getting a guided tour of the machine shop were definitely highlights. Very clear that they could use some funding and donations though, as some of the roofs were leaky and some of the cars could use restoration and maintenance. I hope they get it!

Took a guided tour learned a lot...plus I like trains

Enjoyed doing my own walking around. Saw this place 20years ago. Nice to see it was saved for us train buffs. Which them much success.

Been better if everything was open

A working switch locomotive, a moving roundhouse turntable, so many tours and static exhibits make this a fun site for tourists and locals alike. As grandparents, we find bringing our grandkids here throughout the year make the membership pass the best value!

Fabulous collection of the trains that were used to build our country. The historians on staff are the real treasure bringing all the history to life with stories of the era.

I went with my sisters to a food & wine festival and it was awesome!

This place is amazing!!! Dont miss the guided tour and the mini railroad.

Really cool to see these machines up close

Antique trains in savannah

Wonderful Musium. Everyone was so nice. Sara our tour guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and made sure we had a good time. Everyone should visit.

Wasnt open was disappointed couldnt visit.

One of the best train museums Ive been to in a very long time. They offer a combo package where you could see up to three different sites over multiple days. They have activities for kids, lots of trains for adults and older kids and of course a lot of history to help educate you on the train history of Savannah.Some train museums have one or two trains but this train museum has a lot of trains and is currently expanding to offer even. They are currently renovating buildings, restoring trains and building new activities to enjoy.

Great place to learn about our history. Very interactive, bring the kids, they wont be bored. Make sure to visit the model railroad display!

Knowledgeable staff. Excellent displays. Very family friendly.

Great little stop. Took about 2 hours to go through with minimal people there. Cost about $34 for my family of 4. My son absolutely loved it.

Im a huge history guy, went for my kids, who love trains and I ended up being the one who thought this place was must stop. Whoever had the idea of turning this place into a train museum is a genius; loved walking around the yards seeing the old boilers, building, and equipment, and blacksmith areas, and what the old buildings were used for.

Great round house trains

Great to see these wonderful trains brought back to life! They also have tours, model trains, and a place for the kids to play.

Fun for the grandkids. Need to have the train run more trips. We got shuttled back and forth between the gift shop ticket seller and the conductor trying to get train ride tickets only to be told at the train that it was sold out. The 9 and 5 year olds with us were disappointed, and so were the 3 adults. :( Also, there are not enough seats around the property for us handicapped folks.

Nice museum they do there upmost to restore the place

Excellent environment, great collection and very friendly people.

Took 3 different ages .. 1 1/2 - 3. - 8 years old. All Loved it .! !!!! Take snacks or packed lunch. There is a small play hill picnic area.. The outdoor childrens museum should be renamed as a bi- level OUTDOOR entertainment center. The steps to get up n down I needed help with. After wards come to find out the elevator operator had a key for elevator but was not available when we were there. The restrooms were air conditioned n clean. The kids loved the maze, the climbing wall slides n could even mist off when hot. The top area had planter painting class, music making area and lots of fun. . Very clean grounds. The train area was nice to view with a stroller but could not get stroller up n down steps. The real working train engine keep everyones attention. Dont forget to see the indoor model trains set up. Lots of good history. The area to buy tickets n gift shop was extremely small .

Worth the visit. Tours were interesting and informative. Being able to walk through the train yard buildings and roundhouse was a bonus since you can see not only the static display but the workings of a historic train yard operation. There are many people working to improve the experience for future visits and to preserve the important history. Take the tours. They are informative and the only way you can go through 2 of the static display passenger cars. The short train ride tour is worth while too. Tours are included in the price of admission.

I spent the weekend in Savannah for a serious foodie weekend! Georgia State Railroad Museum is the host yrly for the Food & Wine festival. Go early for this event, parking is crazy, but only $5 in the garages. I appreciated the city not ripping folks off, like most cities do during events.Its a short walk 2 blocks to the festival.Ive been to many food festivals and I must say, they are not as organized as others. Im used to paying one price for the food & wine for the a given amt of time. Only the wine, beer, liquor tasting was included. So you have to stand in another line inside and purchase tickets for the food. They did have a few vendors giving free food away, but you have to really look for them. This was rather annoying to be honest. I like how Columbia, SC does their food & wine fest, one price for everything. Hopefully they will change in the future, it will be less standing in long lines.I did like the museum grounds and setting. The vendors worked really hard to make sure you got a tasting in a timely manner. You do receive a tasting glass upon entering.Tip: Bring your own wine holder strap, or buy one at the fest. I have plenty of the and forgot mine at home...Do enjoy!

Lots to see and you can even get into the locomotives and cars. Follow the tour guides to get some real history of the work yards and the people behind the maintenance shop. Right next to the battlefield in downtown Savannah.

Do you like trains? Do you have kids that like trains? This is a well maintained museum and former operating yard. Lots of steam engines as well as some diesel-electric. Tours are available as well as a ride behind one of the engines (and you get to experience the turn-table, and have some of the history of what youre seeing narrated to you). If you have children, combining with the child museum admission lets you entertain them if they tire of the more educational exhibits. Though, some of the engines you are allowed to board (read the signs), so there is plenty of entertainment for all.

Amazing place for kids

I have been to a LOT of good railroad museums, and (in early 2020) this is not one. Seriously, I am guessing they are under-staffed/financed but this place is only a little better than whats the point? as there are hardly any plaquards or signs or maps . . . even though this area West of Savannah is interlaced with historic railroad access and passenger terminals (the visitors center) and freight houses of the almost half-dozen different roads that accessed the city and port area during the 1880s-1930s.Nice turntable and a reasonable (if non-themed or connected) collection of old rolling stock. But no signs or attributation. I guess Norfolk Southern only has so much resources to finance every museum and the local politicians may promise more than fund, I suppose. PA State RR Museum in Stroudsburg is the Gold Standard imo.Its kind of a shame as the GPAuthority, only 5-7 miles away, is a HUGE generator of rail freight (mostly intermodal). There is so much more railroad activity going in/out of Savannah now than there was since little steam engines pulled 8~20 car trains 100~150 years ago. But walking thru this place, one would never know . . .

Morgan did our tour and she was AMAZING! She was so knowledgable, informative, funny, and so good with the children. We very much enjoyed it.

Interesting to see the old locomotives.. Next time we are making time for the train tour.

We had a great time here. Morgan hosted our tour and she definitely made it entertaining and fun. Gift shop was nice and clean with lots to choose from.

Nice Museum for kids and adults who love old train. Free parking.Be sure to take the train ride, and guided tour.

Great tour by a knowledgeable guide! The staff made us feel VERY welcome. If youre in the area, stop in.

I always love coming here for my steampunk shoots. I love love love the steam engines.

Awesome place. Some really neat old trains and ambience of it is terrific for parties.

Great place to take the kids

Everything is outside, so prepare for that, but all the exhibits are great. The train ride is more interesting than fun since it just goes up a short while in a line and comes back. The tours of the cars are really nice, though. Every year they add something new, it seems.

Really cool museum somehow we over looked it for years glad we finally went

Super cool great views and they’re pretty friendly

Great Train history, awesome that they still have a working steam engine on the property, a little disappointed in the short train ride but it was still a great place to visit in Savannah
