We took our family for the train ride and visit the museum. We had so much fun and it was very educational! My family and I would highly recommend taking time to enjoy a ride on the train!

We went on the Snow Train. Short ride, nice warm passenger cars, pretty scenery. Will come back in the summer to check out the outdoor trains and the rest of the museum.

What a wonderful place for a quiet day of activity. I brought my kids for a ride on the Santa Express and it was so great to see their faces light up when the train started moving. The staff is all very knowledgeable and I think most of them are volunteers. I would love to come back without the kids just so I can spend some time looking at the details.

Awesome place if you love trains. Even though it's closed now for the season, still tons of trains to look at outside. However I will be back again real soon.

Easily one of my favorite date nights of my life so far! Everyone there is so passionate about antique trains! They can't wait to share their passion with others! Can't recommend highly enough!

This is the only place that I've seen with a Shay in beautiful condition. If you don't know, a Shay is a steam locomotive designed for logging railroads, because it uses a complex piston and gear system instead of the normal piston/drive shaft system hit see on regular steam engines. Anyway, due to the rarity of these it's extremely rare to find. On top of that, they have numerous engines, cars, and other such, and it's completely free to view. There is a tour, on rails, with two coach cars that are over a hundred years old, fully restored for use. Currently it is pulled by a diesel locomotive, but I've been told by staff next year (2018) they hope to have a few weeks where they can operate a steam locomotive (shamefully, coal prices are 3-4 times higher than they have been in the past few years). Tickets are $20 for adults, with child and senior discounts. Wheelchair users are welcome, they have a full lift system. All in all, well worth the visit

Nice display of rolling stock - steam locomotives, passenger and freight cars, railroad utility cars (e.g. a wooden rotary snowplow). The scenic ride is a short and easy trip with fascinating history. This out-of-the-way museum is well worth the trip.

We had such a fun day! The lady conductor was so friendly and nice. Everyone was so accommodating and they have a place to get souvenirs. It is a great place to take young and old who enjoy the history and fun of riding trains.

Great volunteer staff! Kids had a lot of fun. Nice ride. The Gravy Train restaurant concession had great burgers available. The main restaurant is downtown. Clean facilities.

It's probably really cool if you're a train enthusiast. To me, it was okay. A nice diversion.

Really cool attraction. I've been coming here since I can remember. The staff are great, very friendly and knowledgeable. Take a train ride, and enjoy some history! Great for all ages, and located just a short drive from the Dells and Baraboo.
