Went to the museum on a Friday and had the museum to ourselves to read, view and appreciate the history. My sister and especially enjoyed the Pullman exhibit. We left the museum with plans to take a trip on the current Pullman offerings. Definitely recommend.
Our visit was over a year ago, but we remember it well. There is much to see, both indoor and outside. Tons of rolling stock and many locomotive, both steam and diesel. Also many other transportation artifacts as well, including many dioramas and a cool model railroad. The Holy Grail, though, the Union Pacific Big Boy 4-8-8-4 displayed indoors. It's 132' long,(not including the coal tender), weighs 1.2 million pounds and you can crawl all over it if you want. Even if you are not a "Rail Fan", there is much interesting Americana on display here. Don't miss it if you are ever in Green Bay.
To be able to climb on real trains and engines under cover should not be missed. Wonderful information to learn about the history of railroad and its contribution to our country's growth. Excellent way to realize why railroad is still wonderful way to travel and should be upgraded for 21st centruy
We really enjoyed our visit here. Took our son and we all enjoyed seeing all of trains on the property. cool that we could actually go inside of some and get the feel of what it was like for the people that actually traveled on them.
Visited when in town a few days this autumn. Spent most of a Saturday here. The trainride around the grounds is kind of cheesy, but they do have a number of locomotives that are pretty cool to discover in the shed. One of the better train museums out there, but I don't think it's better than Museum of Transport in St. Louis.
I can only speak of the experience we had for the Polar Express and it was incredible! The kids that we had with us (9, 6, and 3) all loved it and had a great time! It all starts out with a welcome and hot chocolate and while you're enjoying your hot chocolate, you get to listen to a reading of the book! The young man who read the book did a fantastic job. After the reading, you proceed to the train and head to the North Pole!The car we were in had tables and we received more hot chocolate, a cookie, and a Polar Express chocolate coin (for full disclosure, this was the $28 price level of ticket). The conductor punches the kids tickets with their initials and punches the adult tickets with MC for Merry Christmas! We got four laps around the National Railroad Museum's yard and saw the Northern Lights, Joe the hobo from the movie, and some polar bears. When Santa came into the car, the kids got really excited. The car to the back of the train got to see Santa first and then the kids in our car got to see him. The other cars would get to see Santa in the depot, so this was a big benefit for this ticket price. Santa gave each of the kids a candy cane and a Polar Express Sleigh Bell!We did do this at night (the 7:00 show), so the kids were fully immersed in the experience. We didn't see a burned out maintenance yard or anything like that. The experience is what you make of it for your kids. We kept the kids interested the whole time and everyone had a great time! I highly recommend this to anyone who loves the movie!
Drove two hours from milwaukee to see this train wreck. I'm sure it's a great train museum, but didn't get to see much in the 15 minutes between the time the doors were opened and the show began. The reading was fine, but the train ride to the North Pole was a joke. Who knew the only thing between here and there was a burned out maintainence yard. I pretty sure that's what it was...we got three laps to look at it. Both my 6 and 4 year olds were bored after the first lap. Save the time and money. Go find an IMAX playing the movie. That was a much better and engaging polar express experience.
This museum in Green Bay is a treasure trove of railway memorabilia and also has a large shop selling lots of authentic rail goodies. We've visited twice with our grandkids and have enjoyed both times. You can climb inside several of the carriages and the kids are allowed to touch most of the exhibits. The museum is well laid out and very good value for money.
What a gem tucked in green bay.. Trains are in nice shape and display is clean. People were very nice aqnd pleasant.. Recommend and visitor to the area to spot in and see it!! the eisenhower train is a espcially nice. thanks for keeping a piece ofhistory in such fine shape..
Very well designed, very informative, and very historic. They have numerous railroad cars that are in the process of being restored that are interesting to see.
Okay, who doesn't love a good train museum. We have had the opportunity to visit many railroads, especially in Pennsylvania and the Henry Ford in Michigan. We had this on the Green Bay list (after Lambeau, of course!). Our visit was early afternoon and on a Monday which resulted in very few others being on site. This allowed us the opportunity to explore as much as we wanted. Several exhibits of trains to walk through with much history to relive. The Eisenhower train brought back memories for JW, as did the Big Boy and Pullman exhibits. It was interesting to compare the current Amtrak, Canandian Whistler, Paris AVG, etc to these Old Ladies. Very sad to see the deterioration of many of them as well. As a lover of history, seeing these trains and walking among them, just brings to mind the stories and lives others have lived. Take some time out of your travel schedule and visit. Pay the fee and help keep these Treasures going!
The National Railroad Museum is reasonably priced and they have amazing examples of historical trains. Great place for kids and adults and a nice tower with a lovely view of Lambeau!!!
I was a little disappointed when my husband wanted to go here because I am not a fan of trains but it was a great experience. It was 11.00/pp to get in and the beginning of the museum was a little boring but once you got to the trains it was very interesting. You are able to walk through most of the trains on display inside and outside. It's interesting to see how trains changed through out the years. There's also an observatory deck out back that you can walk up to have you have great views of Green Bay, including the stadium. You can pay 2.00 extra pp and get a train ride. It just does two loops around the museum but they talk about the history of the trains.
I love trains. If you have ever wondered how big the largest locomotive ever made looks like, then you need a trip to this museum. Massive wouldn't even be accurate. Sitting in the engineers seat is like sitting inside a fortress. Plan two hours to wander through the outside exhibits. The Eisenhower locomotive is so stately. Elegant. The little loop train ride was underwhelming. Great experience for kids, I suppose. Overall though, you'll have a great time if you love steam, big driver wheels, and the smell of grease.
I was skeptical of spending time from our vacation here but I am glad we did! If you are interested in history or trains it is worth checking out. The ticket price was reasonable and considering we were there for about 3 hours, well worth the money. I thought the graffiti display was oddly put together, warning of the dangers of graffiti on trains. It felt like a PSA. But if you are here you respect or at least are interested in trains… so one would assume you wouldn’t deface them. The trains inside the museum were really neat, you could walk through them and it was interesting to read about the history of the trains. The outside trains were not in as nice of shape but were still neat to look at. I would definitely recommend this museum if you are in Green Bay.
