Very popular place to stop in and visit when in or around golden. Short train ride is pretty cool and exhibits are interesting. Very informative volunteers are there to answer any questions and tell you old railroad stories.
Fun experience! Great for children and adults alike, keeps everybody entertained for about 3 hours. Also: Nice shop, reasonable pricing, and great staff / passionate volunteers all around. Give it a try!
If you like trains, even a little bit, this is one of the most interesting railroad museums you’ll ever go to. The knowledge of the volunteers and the history behind the different cars and engines is incredible. Definitely recommend. Great for kids and adults!
being a family member of a train lover, sometimes trains can get really annoying after awhile. but this museum was so interactive and fun! they had lots of hands on things to do and you were even able to climb into train engines and train cars and cabooses. it was a good way to start the day! there were so many neat train cars and models to look at. if you have any liking for trains i recommend going!
Great place to visit We visited the Colorado Railroad Museum during the summer, and it was a really interesting experience. The exhibits are well organized and educational, and it was enjoyable for both adults and kids. There is a lot to see, and you can learn a lot about the history of railroads. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a great place to spend a few hours. We left with a positive impression and great memories from the visit.
