Highly recommend checking this place out if you are a fan of trains! Lots of old train cars to explore. Very interactive and lots of history to absorb. We took our toddlers who had an absolute blast. Very inexpensive little outing.

Great place for 1-2 hours. Train ride is short (15mins) but gives the idea. All staff and volunteers are very friendly. Please watch your kids for trips and falls, this is an old industrial facility.

This is an amazing place to look at the old trains and see history. They've done an amazing job restoring some of the old train cars. Great place to learn. Great for kids. And it's run by very kind volunteers. Please go support them and all they do !!

Their is an amazing amount of social and technological history here that can reignite your imagination. The attractions are well described but take the time to learn additional insights from the knowledgeable and very friendly staff. I was shocked by how fast time slipped by

An excellent trip back in time to the heyday of rail travel. I highly recommend you visit and support this museum. The staff were very friendly and informative. Make sure you take the train ride. The conductor gives a great talk on the history of the railways of Alberta.

Fun day out for the family. Was supposed to get a train ride but the train was not working that day. Still fun to see the trains and walk inside the various ages / stages of trains! My son loved it.

Me and my daughter's really enjoyed our visit, great to see the different engines and transport cars. Definitely worth seeing, too bad more people aren't aware of this place. Need a slightly bigger sign along the main freeway.

My family and I had a great time exploring this really cool museum. My little boys loved it. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Bring the little ones and go on a stream train.

Absolutely engaging! Full of historical memorabilia and lots to read. We were there for hours, best money spent the entire weekend.

Great place to visit with kids. Wonderful piece of history maintained by volunteers.

Great experience, lots to see with passionate and knowledgeable staff to help you have a great time. There are loads of train cars to explore.on the site. The long weekend had the steam engine running and the little train ride back and forth on the main tracks was fun. Check it out if you have even a small amount of interest in trains there will be something to keep you interested and exploring.

Took my wife and son to see the trains had a great time. My son was all over the place in and out of the trains exploring and touching everything. I would recommend going on the long weekends if you are interested in riding the steam locomotive my boy was all smiles.

I had the opportunity to cook a Father's Day Brunch here for 18 people and I wanted to thank the Director- Stephen Yakimets for making this happen. This Museum is a wonderful place to explore our past and enjoy a afternoon escape.

Great place to see and learn about trains. Nice picnic area with lots of treats at the ticket office.

Nice outdoor and indoor museum. Works on weekends only. Mostly is run by volunteers. You can go through many train cars and sit in some locomotives.

Super place for the whole family.

Visited for the first time as part of CN's 100th anniversary celebration. It holds a great piece of Alberta/Canada's history. The selection of railway equipment from mainly CN and the NAR (Northern Alberta Railway). Wondered around for almost 2 hours. It was interesting to see equipment that I had some experience with.

Good history.

It was a decently cheap afternoon for the kids. A lot of the newer trains you aren't allowed in which was disappointing but there are lots of other cars you can explore

Went there a few weeks ago, had a fantastic time. So much history in everything it's amazing to see. Defiently a must see!

It's a wonderful place for railroad enthusiasts, but also for families. Staff is very friendly and do their best to make your visit better.

The museum 8s amazing. Staff is great. The train.. omg. A trip in time. We had such a great time walking around. Extremely cheap and worth it

Amazing history, and so much work and love has clearly gone in to preserving this for everyone to enjoy! It's fun to visit on a dry day.

I really enjoyed seeing the history of this place and all the knowledge it holds. Highly recommend proper footwear as you will be climbing in and out of trains and going between carts would not be enjoyable for anyone with heels or flip flops. There is so much interesting history and easy to get lost in it for hours. There is a bit of walking but this place is somewhere you can come by again and again and learn something new!

Great visit if you like trains and history. Expect to spend about 2-3 hours here, especially if you decide to take the train ride.

It was well set up to walk around and climb in the different trains to see different history in each one. Wonderful presentations and great displays

We stopped in with the kids for a quick visit and walk around the yard. So much to do/see here - close to the city, and a story every resident of western canada should know about how our province was settled.

Wonderful place. Whole family spent an unforgettable Sunday afternoon there. From little kids to our adults, all had so much fun.

Great value and so family friendly. It's very hands on and there's lots of exploring and climbing. Great way to spend an afternoon

Very nice off the beaten path Museum. Only open weekends during the summer but it's a great place to take the kids. So many variety of train cars. Hopefully they can score some retired VIA Rail sets to have more modern cars in the collection. Contains a small gift shop as well. Some of the displays could use a comb over as the display text sometimes can be seen fallen off. It's what happens when only foam poster board and scotch tape is used.

For sure we will comeback! A great place to learn about the railway in Alberta and if you have a kid obsessed with train this is a perfect place to visit.

Very cool experience, we really enjoyed walking through the trains that are set up at the museum. It would be nice to come back without kids to see it at a pace where we could read some of the information, but even without that very interesting seeing what train travel looked like. Went for a ride in the train as well, a couple laps back and forth, but enough for the kids to experience some train travel.

Cute train museum, and I'd say the admission is a fair price, and the speeder train ride is also fairly priced. Lots of cool info, but I highly suggest not going there on a hot summer's days! None of the trains/train cars are ventilated, so it's like touring through informative saunas, leaving a trail of sweat behind you. Not somewhere for kids under 7-8 as my 5 and 3 year old were kinda bored. And the prices of the gifts at the gift shop are staggeringly expensive. But where isnt? The garden is absolutely gorgeous though.

It's definitely fun for the whole family. Everyone enjoyed themselves while going in, and it if the train and going on a little train ride. We spent at least 3 hours here looking around at everything. They sell cold treats, drinks and chips where you buy your tickets.

Lots to see! Train ride was great; back and forth but multiple times - anyone want to volunteer to lay track? Multiple cars available to walk through with lots of detail and artifacts. Volunteers/staff very friendly and helpful. Will need to come back next year!

This was a pretty cool spot. Only 3 stars tho because it lacks structure and only a few employees at any given time. We noticed lots of server safety concerns for our 3 year old in the trains so watch them carefully if you have kids. The ground is very swampy so bring some boots as well. My poor wife wore sandles and got all muddy. Cool spot though, pleasant staff and lots of cool history.

The kids will enjoy the place but the facilities and exhibits could use some major restoration and repair. A renovation would not hurt.

The museum is located in a hinterlands. Even though they mark the directions, it is easy to miss the place. Museum is kind of Okay, it is not up to the mark as expected. It could have been made better. Anyway, it is still a place to visit once if you are around Edmonton area.

Great place to go and walk thru. So many cool trains to explore. Have been here numerous times and still refreshing every visit. If your in the neighborhood, check this place out. Highly recommended.

Took my summer camp here for a field trip. It was raining for most of the time but not a single kid complained. The staff was phenomenal! All of them seemed to love what they do and did a great job keeping the groups engaged. I myself had never been to this railway museum before and I had a great time. Some of the highlights the kids mentioned when we did of field trip recap back at our center were - Having lunch inside of a train car - taking a ride on a rail cart up and down their track - learning morse code and how to use a typewriter - getting gift bags and retro model train magazines - touring all the different train cars, which many included some sort of interactive component. Not many things were actually blocked off. If I could I would give this place a 6/5, I definitely suggest visiting here at least once. I myself will be returning in the future and our kids voted 100% Yes, that they would want to do this field again next summer. (The first time we have had a full 100% Yes on our "Yes, No, Maybe So" voting system) Thank you to the staff at the Alberta Railway Museum for taking a day with miserable weather and turning it into our top ranked field trip of the summer so far.

Great place to visit this year in celebration of their hundredth birthday. On the long weekends you can ride a locomotive otherwise the speeder was a lot of fun. At 1 they have walking tours as well as cake.

Was there last summer and had a blast. An awesome place to spend a day, especially if you're into the history of railroadding all across Canada and Alberta. The train ride is a little boring as it only goes back and forth a few times on a small stretch of track, but that is my one and only complaint.

Very expensive, very little to keep the kids entertained unless they wanna repeatedly rude the same train 40 ft back and forth. They have only one bathroom, and a gift shop for snack foods that’s over priced. Good for a one time trip, but if you have more than one kid, it’ll break your bank.

Great place a family visit

Nice train museum. I was able to immerse myself in the roll of being a train operator, route planner, and accountant with all the nostalgic tools they used to use. It was fun!

Amazing very very very cool

A wonderful place to visit the past. The volunteers do a great job of restoring and maintaining the railway history of Alberta.

Fantastic experience with our Daughter. Run by passionate and knowledgable volunteers. I’d say it was fairly priced and the train ride is great for children of all ages. They also put puzzle pieces around the museum for the kids to exchange for a prize at the gift shop. The gift shop also has a number of interesting items for sale and I’d say they are fairly priced.

Simple train museum. You'll go through a series of rail cars and inside are some really old stuff from the past. You are also able to ride a diesel train for 15 mins but it will just go back and forth but still fun for kids. This museum needs a little bit more funding as some of the stairs to access the rail cars are a bit wobbly. I think all staff here are volunteers too. So appreciate their time while you visit the museum. Wear comfortable shoes when visiting. Bring ear muffs for sound sensitive youngsters. Labor day was last day for the season.

Great. Museum!!!

If you love trains, this is the place. Expect to spend over two hours at this place. If you read everything you will be there longer.

Worth a visit, very reasonably priced. Took 4 grandchildren ranging in ages 2 to 5, all the kids loved it.

If you want to learn about trains and step into the past, this is the place! Kid friendly and steam engine rides on long weekends throughout the summer. Worth the visit and just minutes outside of Edmonton.

So much to see!

A great family outing and a piece of history

Aside from all the screaming kids it was fantastic!

Great!!!

Great experience for the family.

Great place for train obsessed toddlers like mine! We had a blast on the train ride, it was also reasonably priced. Only downside was it was very swampy land and not very stroller accessible. Would have been much easier if the stairs had a wheelchair ramp, I honestly haven’t been to an attraction that didn’t have a wheelchair ramp by the stairs but this place didn’t. Otherwise a great day at the Alberta railway museum!

Great place for kids! My kids loved walking through the different train cars. Their favourite part was the steam train ride.

Nice place, good for kids and adults visiting, there are many trains, they represent the attitude and life of railwayman at that time. Also, we took the train, it was fun.

A full-fun day for kids to enjoy.

Excellent museum. Lots of restored and original Cars. Loved the working stream train.
