Very interesting place for Georgia rail and mass transit history. Gives you a good understanding on how public transportation has changed over the years in Atlanta.

This is my first time here and me and my son really enjoyed the experience. We were able to ride a real train, get inside of some parked trains, and look at my son’s favorite the model train scenes. It looks like some exhibits were closed for whatever reason I’m assuming because of Covid.

Amazing value for the price of the ticket! The trains are very well kept and you really get taken back to a different time. The staff was great. My wife and I plan to come back once all of the exhibits open, some of them were closed because covid-19.

This was my second visit. Nice small museum with a lot to offer. Staff is very knowledgeable on the history of the museum and trains/railway travel in general. My son always enjoys it, especially now that the gift shop is open. Wish the train ride was longer

Georgia’s official Transportation Museum. More than just rail equipment in this 35 acre former rail facility. There are over 90 pieces of rolling stock, train rides and so much history. The original 1871 Duluth Depot is here hosing the Duluth Historical Society. Check the website for days and hours.train-Museum.org

A super cool place for anyone who loves trains. Great museum, great staff, awesome little train ride. Cool, old Marta busses. We went for our 3 year old grandsons birthday and had a fabulous time.

This really is a hidden gem in Duluth. There is a surprisingly large collection of transit memorabilia and things to see, including an amazingly well preserved pullman luxury car with a ton of history behind it. The model train car was enthralling for the little one, and I think they have the most reasonably priced gift shop Ive ever been in. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and you can tell they have a deep love for their collection. I would definitely recommend this place if you are interested in history, trains, or live in Duluth. Also, theyve done a great job with COVID social distancing, we felt very comfortable.

Fun way to spend an afternoon. The train ride is ok, but there is no reason to ride it twice. The other transportation details like the old MARTA buses and the trackless trolleys run by Georgia Power are neat too.

Very informative, Loved the hands on & train ride

The displays were awesome! I want to apply for the railroad now to work on trains. Truly inspirational at best. A good look at yesteryear.

The one-star review here posted yesterday was made by a person who was incensed that the free library pass she had was not going to be honored for a special events day. As is clearly stated on the museums website and on the pass itself, the free library pass is not good for special event days. She was informed of this during the multiple calls she made to the museum yesterday.SRM is a 50-year old non-profit entity, staffed almost entirely by volunteers. If anyone thinks keeping the bills paid for a museum in COVID-infected 2020 is easy, please think again. My opinion is that her review is nothing more than sour grapes. YMMV.

If your a big fan of railroad or RR history then this is the place to go. I went with my son, and we were able to walk on actual train cars and engines. There is also a small 15 minute train ride.

This place is typically a family favorite but I wouldnt go back now until virus has passed.. If you do go ttey do not post anywhere that you can no longer go on or walk on any of the trains or exhibits so there isnt much to do. They do charge a discounted price but for 10 a person they should still tell you that before hand.

Not just train engines and cars. Early automobiles, mid century buses, steam tractors, and more. Great for children and adults. In 2017 there is a fair amount that has been added for exhibits, vehicles, and a new shed. Many new things have been added in 2018 as well. Early 2019 added a more complete large diorama that is fantastic and took hundreds of hours to make.

We cant wait to have lunch with Santa again next year. Very organized and so much fun!!! Everything is so beautifully decorated too!!!

Train ride is the highlight! Lots of cool trains and buses to look at. They are doing a great job with pandemic precautions. Can go in a few trains. Be sure to come back when all the trains and buses are open!

The model train was a hit with my 4 year old granddaughter, as well as the train ride. It was a bit hot, humid and stinky so wearing the mask was not pleasant (thats why it was 4 stars instead of 5). I will go back when its much cooler.

Great place with lots of really cool historical vehicles. Kid friendly but they should be under close supervision. The train ride is short but still informative and a lot of fun. Older generation parents and grandparents are gonna love your place as well.

Great place whether youre a train enthusiast or not!

Really a neat and educational place. A real walk through time. I arrived later then I intended, so only had 3 hours, really needed 4 or 5 depending how detailed into it you want to get. Have plans to return. Staff is real friendly & very knowledgeable. Very affordable great for the entire family.

Nice museum for kids and adults alike. The museum does not only have a large collection of trains and railroad memorabilia, but also has some buses and taxis on display. On most days, it is possible to take short rides in both a full-size and a miniature train. Good gift shop as well, including lots of train toys.

Great museum. Fun place to take the grandkids. Be ready for some walking, and wear sturdy shoes. Check the website for train rides and the most up-to-date information.

Off the beaten path. Must see if youre in the area. A lot of history in one area.

This place is so cool! Definitely worth the visit.

I love this museum, its the best in town.

My kids absolutely love this visiting the train museum. They also have buses which is a real treat since you can go inside of them. Also on Thursdays you can take a train ride.

I have always loved trains and decided to elope here. They made our day absolutely amazing and were super helpful! I would highly suggest visiting just for fun OR having your wedding here as well!!!

Fun for kids and adults. Lots of stuff to touch and climb and explore. Covered from rain but still dress warmly. Run by volunteers who all treat kids like loving grandparents. The extra $5 for the train ride is worth it. Fascinating history - Woodrow Wilsons presidential Pullman train car and Atlanta buses through the years that make you contemplate segregations impact. Just all around good stuff.

Spent half day on a field trip. Very informative & the tour guide was amazing.

Very interesting museum, about trains and other means of transportation. It really is a little, hidden gem, in Atlantas North. I promise, I will be back!

We love this place. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable. Theres lots of info & history on not just trains but the different parts to them, fire trucks, taxis, other public transportation and stations. You can get on them and really go back in time. If you take the time to read about the displays its easy to spend a few hours there. You can also get a free pass for four from the library.

Fun place to take train lovers and children. They have several engines and many train cars available to walk inside and explore. They also have other transportation to see such as public busses and the old Atlanta Airport shuttle train. FYI, the majority of the museum is not climate controlled, so dress weather appropriately.

Great history both regional and national. Great place for kids to get their hands on a piece of history and to fan the coals of the love of trains.

A great museum to visit when you are not doing anything and looking to learn about transportation!

I took my girls for a day trip. We got to ride a train. And walk threw a old railway car. The museum was super cool. Lots of old locamotives and cars.learned slots about the trains and the eras they were used.

Great place to take kids to learn how there grandparents traveled around country. You can take a nice train ride. Special events around Christmas. Two model train layouts. My Chistmas Soldier was filmed here in 2006.

Great collection of vintage trains, automobiles, and railroad Americana!

So neat to see all the history of trains in the US and getting to go through the Pullman Superb car.

Great museum with planes, buses, vintage automobiles and of course trains. Best days to come are when they have special events because you get to see some exhibits that arent normally available!

I could imagine what it wouldve been like to take the train years ago. So many great exhibits. Alao a great place to take pictures.

We went on National Museum Day so it was free (outside of riding the train) and we had so much fun. It was mind blowing as an adult to see how small these trains are on the inside (compared to what TV shows). My son did not like the smell of the train so we only went on a few, but he loved all the busses. This place is a hidden gem.

Loved it! Brought my 3 year old and he had a great time! With our museum ticket we got to ride the big train. Unfortunately the small train isnt running anymore do to technical issues. They also have two train cars you can rent for parties. Great for train enthusiasts big and small. Definitely coming again!

I come up here from Orlando at least once per year. The volunteer staff are always phenomenal, and willing to accommodate even my wacky photo requests. Excellent museum with a wide variety of equipment, operating train ride and park train, large model railroad layout, indoor and outdoor exhibits, and gift shop with snacks and drinks. Dont miss the vintage bus collection, either! Highly recommended museum!

Nice Place for the Family

Staff was very knowledgeable. All things transportation related. Active toy train set

Its a trip back in time, excellent

Excellent museum with plenty of train cars and locomotives to touch, walk on, and view. Also contains a collection of transit buses.

Took my son here and he enjoyed himself. It was a little too hot for him at the end. They have a lot of antique trains, buses, and a few autos. If the little ones are into trains or buses this is the place to go. Volunteers help out a lot so check to make sure they are fully staffed the day you want to visit. This will ensure access to all the exhibits and rides. Dont expect pristine condition on the exhibits but any that are open are all safe to walk through.

It’s very atmospheric place It seemed to me that I would now turn around and see Hercule Poirot get off the train! Wow

Really nice place to take your children, has train rides available. Nice gift shop.

This is a great place to take the kids. My son had his 3rd birthday party here and he had a blast!

I visited during January so i understand they didnt have much going on, but as train museums go, they dont have much to see and half the cars are in bad condition. what could be a real draw for them, the Southern E8 doesnt run and looks bad. Very disappointed.

Lots to learn at this railway museum! My 6yr old and 2yr old had fun going in all the trains. They enjoyed the short train ride. They liked watching the model train inside the museum. Hidden gem of a museum in Gwinnett.

Great day out for the kids. Who knew this gem was on my doorstep! The train ride is a bit of underwhelming though, surely it could go a bit further? And the train operator was a bit grumpy, but maybe thats part of the shtick? Other than that, a terrific value and a lovely place to spend a few hours on a nice day.

Very unique, informative and fun for everyone! Definitely recommend to everyone!

Took my 3 and 4 year old grandsons here and they had a blast just as I did. There are trains, taxis, buses and so much more. Many of the exhibits allow you access and you can spend as much time as you can afford exploring. I believe this museum is excellent for all ages from young to adult. The railway history is extremely interesting. We ️️ this place.

Surprisingly cool. Fun to explore all the old trains. My daughter loved it. Beautifully detailed model layouts

What a great way to spend your afternoon with your family. My young son who is a train enthusiast had a blast. The staff/train conductors are extremely knowledgeable about all locomotives and friendly. The museum is great for photography as there are plenty of trains to shoot and you can actually go into some (most) of the trains, which is always cool. Theres a small gift shop with a good selection of train themed items you wont easily find in commercial stores.We took a quick diesel electric train ride which was exciting enough for my small kids. Ticket prices are reasonable and the property as a whole is well kept.I can totally see us visiting again in years to come.

If you live near by this is a must see once a year place to take your toddlers. Its run by train enthusiasts. Kids love trains. You can enter and ride a train.

The kids all had a blast here. I thought my oldest might be too old for it, but he asked if we could come back.

My son had so much fun there. Really nice people

My favorite Steam Locomotive Is Savannah & Atlanta #750 (Florida East Coast #80)

If you love trains, you will love this place! Several cars for you to climb into and explore. Great fun for the kids as well. There is a big train ride, and a small train ride for the kids.

We love this place. There is real history here and even when its crowded, it doesnt feel overcrowded. The staff are passionate and incredibly friendly. Great place to take kids and adults alike.

Great place to take the kids!!

I found this place online, my 3 years old daughter loves trains and school buses.On a Saturday I decided to take her here.It’s run by volunteers, they depend on donations/volunteers/entrance fees etc., to make it possible to happen, so I tried to understand better, and be open minded and positive as I like to be with most things that I do in life.Parking lot was fine, it’s an outside museum and of course is full of what I expected, very antique trains & buses.My daughter had a blast running around and going inside “trying to drive/pilot it” and even “talked” inside of one of those buses on its microphones.I’m just glad she isn’t inside home watching an IPad and loved to watch her happy running around seeing other things.Definitely would recommend to my friends with small children.

They really need to fix their this place and get those trains looking a whole lot better and keep them clean especially the interior

Great place to see many trains of the past up close and without restrictions! They also offer rides on such!

Great for starting off your research but I wish there was more information on the trains especially the sleepers

Love this place! Great activity for any kind of family. My two year old loves the trains, riding both the small and large trains, and the bus section. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our trip to the museum. The employees were friendly and shared interesting facts about the trains. The whole family enjoyed riding the two trains and walking through the several historic ones. The museum was fun and affordable, and we will definitely visit again.

Took my 18 month old grandson. The place was fun, just enough for smaller children.

Lots of interesting train cars, and some other transportation items like buses, taxis, etc. Unfortunately many carriages are quite old and not in best condition. The volunteers must be working hard to keep everything going-- hats off to them!!

A nice train museum and not to expensive thou there is not a very big train selection.

Interesting place. Could be ran better if they had a sandwich shop. Better gift shop and an actual train ride.

This is great little museum. Wonderful for kids. In season you can take a shirt little train ride. This plane had the most extensive collection of trains, cars and equipment they ate just waiting to restore and display. Most are not on display yet but you see in the yard.The cars and engines on display are very detailed and you can walk and climb all over. Be sure to visit the shop. Or for a real treat book a party or dinner in one of the Catered dining party cars!

Great experience!

We will be back, this was a great day trip.

Really neat museum. You can walk around on the trains and cars they have and take a short ride on one of them

A bit expensive but this place is great for the train enthusiast or the toddler boy who constantly thinks about trains. Some of the cars are not well preserved but the staff is very knowledgeable and all the inside displays are high quality.

It has a live track infront of it and the people at the museum are very friendly ️

Good place to learn some interesting facts about trains. And a great place to bring kiddos!

Good stuff

Fantastic railroad museum where you are allowed to roam around their yard taking in the equipment at your own pace.

Expansive mostly outdoor collection of trains and buses. One full-size train and one miniature train available for short rides at an extra cost.

We came for the Lunch with Santa event and had a blast! Not only did our kids have fun with Santa, but mom and dad enjoyed exploring the trains in the museum. We definitely plan on coming back another time (maybe without the kids so that we can stay as long as we like).

Best place for Santa! Gets better every year!

Nice items for train lovers! Also great spot for photography!

Our 2 1/2 yr old daughter loved it! She enjoyed climbing into all the old train cars and especially sitting in the drivers seat of the old buses. The gazebos are perfect for having a family picnic while waiting for the big train ride. It rode much slower than I realized it would but she thought it was a blast!

Fun day with the kids even in the rain... hahaha!!

Awesome place to take the family for the day.

Worth a visit - nice staff.

Had an awesome time. This is a great, interactive museum.

Trains and trains and more antique trains. So cool!!!!

For train enthusiasts this is great place to visit--and for others too. No a/c in gift shop or museum but is worth the visit. Dont forego the train ride.

So much fun!!Love the trains and buses and the people who work here!!

Excelent place to share time with the family and learn about the train history. Really affordable and they have real rides! Amazing place for those who love trains and history.

This is a pretty cool visit if you or your children are train enthusiasts or just like trains. Both of my boys loved it and have asked to go back

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the museum from the train rides and touring the museum itself. I really like the model train set they had inside the building.

My son loves trains. This place has all kinds and a fun ride for the family.
