My husband and I stopped by here on vacation since he likes trains. We had a great time! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about what he was doing. We were able to tour the train and see how the cars were set up when the train was in use. There is also a two floor self guided museum that allows you to explore railroad history. For someone who knew absolutely nothing about trains prior, I had a really good time. This place is definitely worth a visit!

Jamie went above and beyond to make sure our sons 5th birthday party went well. Our children love the Railpark and its a great place for all ages. The staff are really friendly and if you have a train lover in your family you need to visit the gift shop! Definitely worth a visit - even if you dont think you have an interest in trains, you will after you come here!

Dont let this place fool you. Its a great place to visit. The museum is really small and disappointing but the tour through the different train cars really made it great! Our tour guide was wonderful and knowledgeable about the railroad, the different train cars, and its history. Its worth a visit if you are in the area.

Pet friendly (as long as you can hold your well behaved dog in your arms), knowledgeable staff, historical, great for kids, full size train tour, extensive model train... great visit! For locals they have a model railroad club to join and help build up the model and scenery.

Great building and a nice guided tour of classic railcars and a locomotive. I showed up minutes before closing but the docent still took me on an informative guided tour of the station and the railcars. Great history of the area and the use of the WWII era cars.

Looking for something to do in Bowling Green, try the railroad museum. We were looking for something interesting and found it. Our tour guide Tyler was very informative and knowledgeable. I will recommend this place to anyone who loves history.

I was totally impressed with the 1940s passenger train. Ive never seen such a fine speciman that has been kept in its original condition. Charlie, our tour guide was superb. Actually stepping back in time when walking through this train.

Great venue that usually hosts some fun events. Does the polar express for the kids during the winter. Adult events as well. We had our high school reunion here, too. Very nice vintage building.

Great tour of vintage passenger cars! Tour of locomotive was a bit disappointing if you are a rail fan as it is completely gutted with the exception of the engineers side!

Kind of neat things to see and learn about but nothing extraordinary. We took the tour through the train cars and it was miserably hot so we left after only a few minutes.

Museum is ok even though the exhibits are well done. The tour of the cars though is extensive and informative. A real step into history.

Nice museum in an historic rail station. Nicely restored passenger cars to go through with a knowledgeable guide. Worth the visit.

Lovely place and lovely people. Caution: will cause dismay as you realize you can no longer get anywhere by train.
