Minnesota Transportation Museum is a non-profit organization that collects, preserves, interprets and operates a historic railroad and transportation equipment and artifacts in order to tell the story of transportation history through unique attractions and engaging experiences.
My kids loved the little train ride that comes included in the admission. Next, on to exploring different types of trains and playing with all things train related. It was really neat to see my kids enjoy learning about trains. Highly recommended
– 2002Fish | TripAdvisorFrom the outside, this place looks like a rundown building. But inside, there are many treasures to check out. I learned a great deal about transportation history. It's definitely worth a visit.
– justweems | TripAdvisorGreat activitiy for your grandchildren, especially younger ones. We visited on Train Day and they had caboose rides, but any visit will have enough to keep your grandchildren busy for 2-3 hours.
– 2-Lane-Traveler | TripAdvisorTook our two grandchildren to this museum ages 7 & 12. They really enjoyed the interactive exhibits. We spent almost 3 hours wandering throughout the train cars and displays. We also got to tour the workshop where they were rebuilding train cars and locomotives.
