Very interesting museum with a very nice atmosphere. Love sitting under the trees right outside the front door

History of Aiken, told beautifully at this center. Lots if information to digest and remarkable dioramas. Staff is extremely nice and ready to help.

Clean, friendly, informative! I recommend this as a tourist stop especially for any railroad & train hobbyists!

The docent was very nice, once she finally came over to help. Took me calling the phone to get her to come over after she saw me standing there for several minutes. Beautiful building, and great resources. I wish they had a map and listing of the trees in the Arboretum.

Great place for train lovers. My three year old didn't want to leave the train table they have out for little kids. The two ladies manning the front desk were kind. I am taking my son there again.

We enjoyed our visit but unfortunately you were closed. We're sure it would have been a pleasure to see everything inside because the outside was enjoyable!

Loved visiting the Aiken Visitor Center & Train Museum, and had a good time talking with the workers there. Although, I almost derailed their train! 🚆😮 (they were very forgiving, though surprised it was an adult causing problems 😳😝) Turns out the motor can provide too high of power for the train to handle all the curves, so they have a little tape piece to mark how far it can go (I didn't notice at first). It's actually quite fun to make it drive around if you watch out for the speed and track line. They have a little gift shop as well, plus a balcony upstairs with miniature models of trains and such, with lots of information on trains in Aiken. Be sure to sign the guest book y'all! ✍️

Aiken Trolley Tour departs from the visitors center. A very informative two hour tour of the history of Aiken while riding around comfortably..Also included a 20 minute walking tour of Hopelands Garden and the on site Thoroughbred racing museum.

The train model was impressive. The staff was friendly and very informative. Definitely worth a stop.

If it had cost money, I'd give it two stars. What's the point of having train cars if you can't go in them
