Today, we took the kids to the NC Transportation Museum, which is located 30 minutes from our home. They were so excited about riding the choo choo train, especially my little train lover. Despite it being a Saturday, it was not crowded at all. As soon as we got there, we boarded our train for a 25 minute train ride through the train yard.
All aboard!
We saw lots of other trains, cabooses, and a steam engine too.
The museum sits on a 57 acres site, which once was Southern Railroad's largest steam locomotive repair facility on the East coast. Nowadays, it hosts special events such as Day Out with Thomas and feature rail and automotive exhibitions as well as a turntable, a 37-stall Roundhouse, and repair facilities.
Testing out a police cruiser:
There were lots of trains to look at and walk thru as well as a simulator:
Hands-on:
The museum was a great family friendly activity and we all enjoyed learning and exploring trains. Definitely a must-see if you are nearby.
