"A lot of useful and interesting information. Great knowledge of history of railway. The staff was so amazingly friendly. They offer celebrating birthday for kids here as well. Lucky us that we had a chance to visit this friendly museum."
"What a fantastic place to visit, lots of history, Trains and carriages you can walk through, memorabilia and lovely staff."
"Our kids loved it, and this big kid did too. Load of carriages, engines and many other things railway to explore. Doesn't cost much and run by a bunch of passionate volunteers"
"Visitors from Malaysia here! Not that hard to get here. And you can just park along the roadside. We came on Wednesday, final week of Dec last year. Kids highly unlikely get bored here because there’s A LOT to explore. We can go inside most of the train too. Most importantly, I get to show the kids the real choo choo train here haha. I’m amazed how well maintained this place is. Kudos to the volunteers for their efforts and dedication."
"This is a GREAT little gem, I would say as good as if not better than the one in York (UK) . Very rustic and they allow the kids to get into the cabs of most of the engines, well worth the visit."
