Great museum! They are always adding or updating. A lot to see - trains, train cars, the Roundhouse is really cool! If you like model railroading, they have a huge running display in one building. I always like videos & they have some of those, too, telling about the site.This would be a great place for a family reunion, wedding reception, or company party.

Great place to bring the kids. Ultra friendly staff give you a short train ride and show you around. Walk into real rail cars and stand right next to the biggest restored steam locomotive you will ever see. Bring a picnic and eat at the tables. Beautiful grounds where the kids can run around and be kids. Truly amazing model railway building with running trains. Wold be 5 stars if there was more to see, but even so its very impressive.

The Museum is great and a nice piece of local history. We always make time to stop in and see whats new and go over what they already had. Very interesting and fun for all the family now with the small scale train and motorcars that they now have. Plus it,s always a good time to drop in and see Rocky at Famous Dave,s in Sioux City.
