It would have been nice if they would have mentioned on their site that they are now closed during the week. I rode all the way from Pittsburgh via Amtrak to visit museum on 10/30/17 only to find doors locked.

Looks like a very nice place to take the kids. They’re not that expensive at all. Coming back for sure.

Quite pleased with our visit to the Railroaders Museum! Had no idea this gem even existed right under our noses (we live it Clearfield). Highly recommended. Very professionally done!

We do a lot of museums and history, and this one was one of the best! Good for adults, children, families. Very well laid out, there are three stories of informative (and many interactive) exhibits on local town life, engineering and mechanics, politics and unions, science lab tests, advertisements and hospitality, technology, and more. We spent two full hours and only read about 1/3 of the information on the signs and displays. I didn't even see any of the 3 movies they have playing in the theatre, or anything outside (it was raining). They have tons of eye-witness accounts and journals copied and displayed, along with real tools and technology items. A bit pricey at $11, but if you are at all interested in trains or Victorian life and travel or Altoona history, this is a place you must go. My father-in-law knows trains, and even he learned some new things from this museum.

Fairly cheap and a good place to go for a family. Has a lot of history about the surrounding area and a really nice gift shop. Lots of old trains and history in there.

If you love to see and learn about trains and the history of Altoona railroad, they have 3 floors and outside to explore. $11 to get in and free admission to the horseshoe curve with it. Great time, great people.

Over priced, go anywhere else on the west slope to view trains for free!

Great history of the area, or if you just like trains. Lots to see outside and in. The cars outside are in disrepair, would be nice to see what they look like restored. This museum is a nice addition to Horseshoe Curve, if you weren't planning on going to see it, go, it worth it.

Altoona as we know it, nor would many of us be alive today, if it weren't for the PRR establishing here. The museum gives some good perspective on the history of it all.

A great museum that shares the history of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Altoona's role during the great railroad era. The museum walk through would take about an hour to complete, possibly longer if you're more into reading up on the history and exploring the exhibits a bit deeper.

The museum holds a number of great events outdoors during the summer months as well. As good if not better than any major city museum I've visited throughout the years.

Worth a visit if you're traveling through town, or if you live in the city and have yet to visit. It's amazing to see this as the result of an old, unused train lot and vacant warehouse. A valuable asset to the city.
