    Had an amazing time with the family. They have some very special pieces of Reading Railroad history on display. Had Kevin as our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable. We enjoyed it so much, that we signed up for a family membership to join in on helping to preserve the history.

    Visited here a couple of weeks ago and had a great time. The museum itself is full of railroad artifacts and model trains, and the train yard outside boasts a nice collection of old train cars and locomotives. The staff was very kind, and our tour guide definitely knew his stuff. Try to come on a cool, cloudy day or bring an umbrella β€” the sun is brutal out in the train yard! Oh, and make sure you don’t miss the movie on the Reading Railroad.

    Very nice facility. Guided tour of numerous trains in yard. Christmas model train display was outstanding! Toy train layout and coloring available for young children.

    Wednesday May 15, 2019. Now that I know where the railroad museum is located I will make plans to visit when they are open on weekends. Looks interesting.

    Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy trains. We went during a limited running exhibit of lego trains. My kids enjoyed the regular displays as well as the special ones. We missed the video as the kids wanted to look around and we didn't get a chance to go back. Walking around the yard, you can see various trains. Being our first time, I was unsure about parking. The easiest place to park is in the gravel trail lot and walk the sidewalk a short distance down to the entrance. We would definitely go back.

    We really enjoyed visiting this informative, historical museum about the Reading Railroad. There are many exhibits outside worth seeing with a tour guide. Inside is a nice, small museum and a gift shop. There's also some toy trains & tracks for the little ones. Worth seeing if you like trains.

    This was a great find for me and my 6 year old son. The guys that run it were great and treated my son awesome.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ We bought a case of wine a few minutes ago. We stopped in on our trek to Niagara Falls. The man that served us was very knowledgeable. We are trying more dry wines now than sweet and he knew exactly what we should try. He was wonderful to chat with and very friendly. Worth the time to stop in!
