Fabulous!! We just discovered this museum in June and we’ve been four times. That’s pretty often bc it takes us about two hours to get there! One time it took us three hours. Summer road construction is a bear! Great place for families and kids, and hobbyists like my husband. Three different styles of trains to ride.

It's a nice little place. They could do more to improve it, but overall it's a nice family activity to try. It's usually only five dollars to ride per person.

I love steam engines and this was a real nice experience to see all the different types. Glad to have places like this around still

Hesstons Steam Museum is a great place to take kids. I last visited for the Haunted train ride with my family (infant and 2 year old), plus my sister brought her children (2, 4 and 7 years) as well as my 10 year old neice. All the kids had a blast on the train. It can become very busy so wait times are sometimes long to board the big train, but its worth it.

Awesome place to take the grandkids! Rode three trains and had a great time. Definitely a place to visit. Will be going back again!

Great place for kids, especially boys who love machines. They had tractor out, and several different train rides running, plus a steam powered sawmill. Cheap and lots of fun. You can tell the volunteers who kept things running loved being there.

A great place for people of all ages who enjoy a bygone era of steam. Labor day weekend is one of the best experiences you will ever have but any weekend is fun. The ability to get so close to something as magical as a giant steam locomotive, steam operated crane, and steam operated sawmill is a dream come true for every little kid inside everyone. Many recent upgraded amenities have done nothing but improve the experience that you will have here. The look on your child's face when they see some of the working exhibits is well worth all of it.

We bought a Groupon for this place and so we're excited to go as a part of our vacation to Lake MI. We have 4 children ages 11 and under. We bought the tickets good for 4 rides on any train. I thought that the trains would be bigger and a bit faster to make it worth it for my older two but apparently the biggest train wasn't running :(. They should have offered a discount because of this, in my opinion. We had to ride one of the other trains twice to fulfill our ticket punches and the waiting in line plus the slowish ride was disappointing. And parents have to ride with the children on every ride so that means more tickets.
This is fun for kids under 6, though. The most exciting ride is the kiddie train that goes over bridges.

I wish they at least explained the engines and how they worked to the kids or made up some kind of educational story for them but every ride is silent.

We were there for about 2.5 hours just riding 4 rides so we were worn and left without going to the ice cream shop/restaurant, which I'm sure would have been a nice treat.

This could be a great time if they added a scavenger hunt through the forest rides or a storyteller or something.

A great place for young and old train/steam fans. Pleasant staff, most are volunteering to work there.They answered questions and made us glad to be there too! An assortment of different trains to ride including a Shay loco which is a sight let alone functional . Picnic area, small restaurant and ice cream store.

A fun blast from the past. You can ride restored steam trains and miniature sized trains. The tickets are relatively cheap, and you can usually get great deals on Groupon. It's a great day trip for kids (and adults). They have a vintage soda shop and Bbq restaurant too.

Wonderful outdoor museum all about steam power and trains! Kids would love it. Volunteers are very knowledgeable. There are fun machines to see as well as trains and even a lumber mill demonstration. You can take a train ride around the nearby woods which is very nice.

Great place to take a family day. My family is more than happy to make the 4 hour trip here because it is always fun for everybody. Professional and courteous volunteers make the day special.

Our family has been going there annually since the kids were little. I have been going there my entire life. The recent upgrades are terrific. Always a nice day. The Halloween Rides are terrific for little kids.
