As others have said, you dont have to be a train geek to love this museum! Lots of national history, Old West, and an entire floor of interactive displays for the young and young at heart! They change up displays occasionally as well, so even if you are from here, it is worth checking out every few months. The building is an old Carnegie Library with its own historical attributes and architectual charm! The BEST part is, its FREE! They do have a donation box up front, if you care to contribute. The only downfall is the hours of operation. They do close too early in the afternoon on "work days" for afternoon visitors, and now its only open a couple of days per week. Big bummer, but if you get a chance to check it out, it is well worth the effort!

This museum is well presented, informative, interactive, and is suitable for all ages. Even those with little interest in railroads should will find something to like. Heads up... it is located inside an old public library and the museum sign isnt especially attention-grabbing. We missed seeing it the first time driving past.

The Big One The RR is huge on big power 4-8-8-4 & 4-6-6-4 Oil Steam Locomotives restored to new and made better with upgrades. Yellow is this RR running color very visible and striking. People make it the nations big operator it is and was back from the beginning. A wonderful place to visit, if a rail fan then its a must !

Luis Wichita

Really great museum if you love trains and railroads as I do. But it could be bigger and better. I love, love, love trains and this museum has a lot about trains. That said, I think that newer exhibits and more variety would make the museum better. Still, its very worth a visit.

Lisa Bouska

A surprising little gem. Way bigger than it looked from the outside. Great use of the technology that made wonderful interactive displays. So much fun we forgot to take very many pictures. The people there are obviously in love with the place, great fun for all ages.

Suzie Kingery

Very beautiful museum with lots of great history and artifacts. Some neat simulators and picture taking opportunities, too. Free admission, but recommend bringing $ to donate. Workers are volunteers, but eager to be there and answer questions. Love this place!

An absolute gem of a little museum right here in town. The displays were interesting and though I went with two teenagers, they both had a good time checking everything out. Love the old dining cars and just seeing the golden age of train travel.

Paul Kohlmeier

Got there late in the afternoon and discovered they close at 4 pm.. We had fifteen minutes to go through so we rushed it and still were being kicked out. Not cool for a place that wants people to visit.

Kevin Vega

Cant believe its free! Learned about Pres. Lincolns rail car story, railroad agent stories, train simulator, development of time zones in U.S., and the coolest 3D black and white photos Ive ever seen.


WI

William Branch

This is a great day trip location. Good displays that captivate the kids, but are interesting enough for the adults. I would highly recommend. Also no formal admission charge, only a suggested amount.


DA

Dane Stevenson

Beautiful building restored to its current condition. They accommodate the interest of young kids but most of the exhibits are for those who have time to read. Very well done and worth your time.


JO

Jordan Steinspring

Alright, the experience of going to the UP museum was ok. I went with my grade from carter lake elementary and went. It wasnt really interesting. Maybe i will go again for the fun of it.

Samuel Chambers

Fun attraction for railroad buffs. Many historical artifacts and displays. Well stoked gift shop and very helpful volunteer staff. Located downtown. On street parking only, though.

Hands on and lots of history of the railroad. Family friendly and much to see and central location. Tour the old rail cars on display and see the schedules and ticket booths.
