Loved this hidden gem! Only found this place due to my coworker telling me about it. You will not be disappointed. Free museum that encourages donations ($5 for adults and $3 for kids). They have a train that adults can ride with a tunnel. Very cool place to visit with or without kids.

Very cool! Kids enjoyed the scavenger hunt. Our handicapped son LOVED it. It is very clear people have put many years and many hours into making this a cool affordable place. I think it can use some newer items and upgrading or I would have given a easy 5! Great place, nice people working there. Must take the kids!

Absolutely loved it! My almost 2 year old son was so excited to see all the trains and even got to ride one. We come down once a year and will definitely be making this part of our yearly tradition.

The crowds are smaller because of Covid and the recent Hurricane Zeta, and it was friendly and fun! New stuff is there every time we go!

I have been limited to what we have been able to do with our little this summer. Covid19 has put a damper on most of that and then I had major foot surgery. But I wanted to find something we could take him that he loves as much as his daddy. Been trying to plan to go for the last year. So we got an opening in his dads schedule to get away when I got back from IN. Only thing that was disappointing this trip was the food in the area. We had such a good time here made it all worth the trip down from Tuscaloosa. They even changed out the trains you ride on so I could be I cannot walk on my foot and am on a Knee Scooter still. The set ups all the way thru was awesome I never once had a problem getting around. And they have little scavenger hunt pages you can do and it made it super exciting. He even took off and came back saying I brought help when he couldnt locate the last two items after about six trips around the room. And the Lego displays as well as the train displays are amazing. Lots of fun packed into a little road side Train Museum. Staff was super friendly and more than willing to come help with any questions. Highly recommended if your looking to get away and the beach is just up the road. So much fun, thanks guys and gals for all your help yesterday. Really take your time and take it all in. You would be amazed at what you didnt see the first time around the table!

Great staff and a LOT to see for a small space. The volunteers work hard to add and keep things going. Great little museum. Go give it some support.

If you love trains its the place to go. Very nice and friendly staff!!! Tons of Lego figures, animlas and structures.

Really great place for kids. Went there for a birthday party and my kids enjoyed the time there. They have really cool displays. Plus you can go with your kids on their train ride. Really fun. We enjoyed ourselves.

Really cool place to come by or spend a hour or so with kids. There is no entry fee but donations are highly recommended. Daughter loves coming to look at the trains and they offer little rides for the kids. They are expanding which makes it fun for local families. Definitely stop by when you can.

My 3yr old loves this place! They recommended a donation of $5 for an adult and $2 for kids or you can even buy a membership. They have tons of model trains on display and ones that run that kids can turn on by a timer. The best part though is out back where kids and adults can ride on a small train on a decent sized track that even goes through a tunnel. Theres also some hand pedal cars that the little ones can pedal around a track or parents can push them. They have more model trains running outside and a few outside games. There were some small Thomas the Train ride ons but it looks like that area is under construction now. Still they have several buildings with running model trains to cool off when the heat from outside gets to be too much. They are only open from 12-5pm so be prepared with water because although there are a few shady trees its still blistering hot. Theres always a cute little lending library outside in the middle of the train area. Has a nice little gift shop with some fun train toys for little ones to take home as souvenirs too. So a great place to take little ones but be prepared to alternate between inside and outside and with plenty of water. Oh and masks are required.

If you have any kids on your trip to Gulfport-Biloxi, this is a must see attraction. The staff here go out of their way to make the little ones have an amazing time and ours absolutely loved it. The recommended donations are on the low end and its worth every penny and then some. The passion here is obvious and theres something for everyone.

Very cool place. I can believe its free admission! Its donation based, but thats the least we could contribute with all theyve got. The models are amazing. The small trains the kids can ride on are super fun. The dinosaur theme outside is my childs favorite part! Love this place.

Such detail and so much time have been put into this place you can see that they really love making this dream a reality.

Pictures do not do it justice!! A must see! Children had an amazing time, and the museum runs completely off of donations! It was an amazing adventure for no cost but the gas to make it, highly recommend a visit if you have any train or Lego enthusiasts in the family!

Thomas and Trains Family Fun Day was awesome! And the Mississippi Coast Model Railroad Museum is a great place to go with the family on any day. It’s free admission they ask for you to leave a donation, I dare you to visit and not. The volunteers and staff that run this place are top notch. It’s an experience to take in and if you have little ones that love trains they’ll be in tears when it’s time to go. A must see place!

This place is AWESOME! My 3 year old son absolutely loves trains, so we had to check this place out while we were there on vacation. We spent the whole day there and had a blast! Theres so much to see and do and a lot of fun games, rides and toys for the little ones to enjoy. Well definitely be going back the next time were over that way.

This place is great for all ages. I have been many times and each time I noticed something new. My grandchildren love all the hands-on outside displays. My sons enjoy looking at all the train models inside. And we all LOVE the Lego world. I highly recommend you stop by and check it out. You won’t be disappointed!!

Always a great time with the kids and its also free. But donations is greatly appreciated

This is a great place for kids!! (But honestly I love it too!) The exhibits are always changing and the holiday events are awesome! Interactive, fun and you cannot beat free! Donations are encouraged!

So insanely cool and awesome. I brought my kid brother, whom is diagnosed with aspergers; and we had an absolute blast! I will return again and again. Be sure to leave them a donation. What theyre doing is incredibly wonderful. Made me feel like a giddy kid again.

Really enjoyed this museum! Theres so much to see and do! Our two year old granddaughter didnt want to leave! There are play areas for kids with Thomas trains to ride. Its free to get in , but donations are accepted. If youre in the area, its a great place to visit - especially if you have kids or are an adult who loves trains and Legos!

Very entertaining to experience with friends and family. Only requires a donation, not actual fee to enter and view the models.Much different pace for kids compared to handheld devices. These models are interactive and engaging.They offer birthday party packages for those interested. They partake in events to raise money to keep the facility donation only.Ride on train outside which is super cool, plenty to see, plenty to keep you engaged on a dreary afternoon!

Only been here once. Super interesting and fun to explore all the massive train setups they have. Certainly would love to come back. All the staff were great as well.

Absolutely amazing! My kids are obsessed with trains so this place was a dream come true for them. There was so much to see and do. We were never even for a moment were bored. Plenty of spots to sit down and rest and the trains are fun for adults too, especially if you like models. The staff was friendly and helpful. I could easily spend all day here. The best part, ITS FREE, there is an option to donate if you would like but absolutely no pressure to do so. We will be back!

Wonderful time. 2nd time there and better than the first. New experiences.

We loved visiting. Will be back

This was so unexpected ... Really fun place and lots of cool stuff to look at.

Free fun! Kids loved the ride on trains and all of the model trains too! The Lego land was awesome as well...we will prob visit again the next time we are in town.

This museum is great for any model train fan young or old. Numerous trains of various sizes and scales. A Knex display. LEGO sets. Outdoor and indoor sets. Free admission but donations are encouraged. Lots of volunteers for assistance. Birthday or event room. And 2 outdoor party areas. Activities for little kids and school age kids. Thomas and friends trains in various scales.

It is a cute donation run place to take your train fanatics. I took my 2 year old and he had a ball lining trains up. If you go please help them out by making a generous donation.

This is a great place to take young kids and adults. They have 5 different areas to go through including several places for the kids to play. There are more trains of all sizes. Some of them the kids can ride. The staff there is very friendly and will tell you everything you want to know about trains.

It is an amazing place.I really recommend it.Even though it is free, I suggest you to tip money.Please, this is the way they can have that museum open, and trust me, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!Awesome staff.

Our toddlers favorite place to visit!! So much more to do and see than you realize, & all by donations!! I love this place & am very grateful for the amazing staff!!

Loved it we went for their Christmas lights and all the kids loved it

It was just fun. There is a lot of love and care in this little museum. Some of it is just for little children but it was a walk back into our childhood. From the plastic Lego world to the old 50s metal trains

This is a great place for families. We had lots of fun. Will go back many times.

We loved it! So much fun, interactive and a wide variety of model trains! A must see for any beginning train enthusiasts!

Enjoyable for little kids. If your kid loves trains they will enjoy this place.

Had a blast for such a small place...they are moving to a bigger location this winter. Lots of little activities for kids and a few for adults.

We had a great time with the kids!

My son loves trains & cars & he absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming here again.

Always great time lots of cool stuff to see.

The Museum was such a great experience for our toddlers (4 & 2)! They were mesmerized by the model trains and all of the small details included within their scenic displays, and they absolutely loved creating their own in the interactive “hands-on” play areas!

My 3 and 4 year olds loved it here! Lots to see and do, and it looks like theyre adding more. You can tell this place is well loved by those who run it.

This a great way to spend a few hours. Lots of trains (duh) and 2 million Legos. Theres stuff inside and stuff outside. Stuff for kids, big and small and adults. And its free!

Its a lot larger than. I thought, our 2 year old had a blast.

Such a fun place! And free! They take donations. Loads of Legos and trains. Even trains to ride on. The staff was very friendly and ready to answer questions.

Absolutely loved this Model Railroad Museum! All attention to detail in all the setups is amazing.

Free and my 3 year old had fun. They have a few little train rides for kids. One train ride takes the adults and kids through the outside model train garden. It includes railroad crossings and a tunnel. Had a good time.

Its a cute experience. Glad I went. Probably wont go back, tho. But it was fun?

Very nice little museum. While many if the displays and activities are more focused on children, adults of all ages can find something to smile about. Many interesting photos, literature, signage, and collectable trains line the walls and windows. I have been to many model train venues, but this one is quite unique with the LEGO displays and the ability for museum visitors to run a train layout with the twist of a timer. Recommended.

We visited for Thomas day and we had a wonderful time. I cant wait to go back on a slower day and ask them about the individual exhibits but my daughter was over the moon to ride the trains.

KIDS LOVED IT! We visited during the Christmas light show. Such a nice place. Definitely plan to visit during a less crowded time to soak it all in.

The place is awesome with Lego displays, model trains. Its a kids wonderland! Had an amazing time and definitely worth the visit.They are also free and just ask for donations. Totally worth the experience!

Not what was expected kinda rundown. But the ppl were friendly

Wonder family place!I have 4 children from age 4 to 13 and ALL enjoyed and could interact with the entertainment. Bigger kids volunteered to put together lego kits the shoppe had to add to the lego displays!

If you like models you need to come here and stay awhile

My boys really love this place! They have so many model trains inside and activities/trains to ride outside. They dont charge a fee, rather they take donations. Such a great experience!

Great place for kids of all ages (even the young at heart).

Intriguing whether you are a model railroad buff or not. The trainyard outside is adorable with a ride for the kids. The lego models were cool. It is free admission, which is probably why they were packed! You could press a switch to make many of the trains go. They are donation based and also have a gift shop with moderate prices. Definitely a place to take the kids!

Great place for model train guys and gals! I have been here twice and plan to visit again soon. Wonderful place for families.

Friendly folks, this is a really very cool and interesting place to visit and it is free of charge! (donations are recommended and appreciated). Great place to bring the family and young children like it too.

So much fun. Best train museum we have been to. If you have kids, definitely worth a stop

Good group of guys in there. Massive Lego collection.

Such a great place to explore. Friendly staff and so much to see and do.

Trains, trains and more trains!A really nice place to bring youngsters. The museum is oriented to kids of all ages, with special emphasis on young ones. There is an outdoor riding train, a pedal train, and numerous whimsical outdoor trains.Indoors, there are several many model railroad layouts in various scales: HO, O, N, and even Z gauges. They have an excellent collection of antique toy trains in a separate exhibit. They even have Lego trains.The staff and volunteers operating this museum are knowledgeable, outgoing, friendly and obliging. All in all, its a hidden gem tucked away on Pass Road, well worth visiting. If you have kids, theyll want you to bring them back. One visit is hardly enough!A special mention to manager Ms. Tracy Lawrence, as well as Casey and Warren, who all went out out of their way to explain the various exhibits.

An Absolutely great place to visit. The staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the trains, the set ups, answering any questions. My 3 year old had a blast, loved all of the set ups especially the big train we could all ride outside. She was fascinated by the vast array of legos put together on display and had fun pointing out the characters from the LEGO movie. Will definitely be returning for repeat viewings of the trains!

This place was amazing! It’s unfortunate that we didn’t make it to the museum until the end of the last day of our stay. I wasn’t sure our 2 year old would be into it or not, I thought he’d be a little too young, but he could have spent so much more time there than we did. He was so excited to see Thomas, Percy, and Mike. Staff was outstanding as well. We’ll definitely make this stop a top priority for our next visit.

Absolutely in love with this place. The people here are kind. The entertainment is great. My son and I always have such a great time here

Absolutely loved it. My son had a blast! So much to see and interact with. Definitely worth going to see!

Excellent place for the family. The staff was kind, the facility was well taken care of, and it is a place where kids can actually touch and interact with many of the activities.

Thank you for all the volunteers and workers! It is always a wonderful experience every time we visit here. The kids and I always have fun and spend quality time together.

If youre a model railway fan this is a good place to visit. Lots of different layouts in different gauges from Z to a ride on 12 running outside. There are hands on layouts that you can operate and lots of stuff to keep young fans entertained. Entrance pricing is very reasonable with only a suggested donation of $5 per person, which is voluntary not mandatory, another plus.If youre looking for something to do for at least a couple of hours (you could actually spend a lot longer!) for next to no cost this really is a great place to go.You might even rekindle an old childhood flame like I did (and lost the office to!)

Awesome place to hang out. Kids love it. Alot of people put in a lot of hours here to make it fun and to share their enjoyment of model trains. Thanks

Labor of love for sure. Great for all ages. Leave a generous donation.

It was beautiful with all the lights. My 10 year old grandson loved riding the trains. And looking at all the Legos and toy trains was an awesome experience!!

I want to thank the people who do this for our kids bringing Santa in and the lights. Thank you all so very much we had a great time and a safe time. Thank you.

A ln impressive amount of Lego, some really cool train displays, and my kids loved seeing and learning.The entry fee is an optional donation; I highly recommend paying it! I thought it was worth every cent, and you get to feel good about supporting an awesome and educational community resource.Im planning to go back for their 5th year anniversary celebration on March 22nd, and maybe even scheduling a birthday party.

Great place for train and Lego fans of all ages

The detail in every little corner is amazing. People love this place. I was convinced by someone to go and I didnt want to. But Im glad I did.

This Railroad Museum is the cutest! it runs off donations, and there are SO many trains. the staff were great and at the end you can ride the train and train cars!

My 9 year old loved it and I enjoyed watching him discover the vast array of trains. Great place for young and old.

I highly recommend a visit if you love trains, or even if you just like them. Great for any age.

Cute place. It was cool, but definitely needs a little more upkeep.

Great place for kids .

A nice little stop for the kids

Really cool little find. Was pleasantly surprised when we traveled over to Mississippi and found this place. Looking at the front was not expecting much but was I wrong.The models setup inside are very interesting to watch. So much detail it takes a bit to look at everything.Then you go outside; wow! Adorable little place to play and just have fun.Look forward to visiting again in the future.

Nice place to visit, brings back child memories.

Great place for birthday parties or to just bring your kids to get some energy out. Plus its free!

This was my first time here and I had a Awesome time I was like a kid in a candy store.

This is a really neat place to bring the kids! Obviously, they have tons of model trains. They also have train tables and an outdoor area with a train the children can ride on. Admission is free though they do ask for a donation since they depend on donations to keep running. I wasnt sure my daughter would be interested at only 15 months but she loved watching the trains! It was interesting for adults also. Its truly fun for all ages!

Wonderful place to take the kids, grandkids or just take yourself. Great time

Awesome place been going there for 5 years. Couldnt recommend it more. Fun for adults and kids and great place for birthday parties

Way more then expected is there they have a train ride for kids and an impressive Lego collection.

Great place！

I loved this place too The model trains were fun to see run around on their layouts and theres a monorail HO set in the gift shop Im dying to purchase if I can ever come up with the money

I love this place.Friendly staff and so much to see and do.We will definitely be coming here again.

A fantastic family outing if you like Lego and model trains. their Lego display was outstanding! By far the largest collection Ive ever seen. They had all sorts of model railroads in varying scales. Really enjoyed the setup outback that was large enough to ride! Will definitely be returning. Interesting to note they are a largely volunteer-based organization and relies solely on donations.

This amazing museum and grounds are not to be missed!! We came to see the Christmas lights, which were spectacular! I thought wed spend about an hour. I had no idea how large the museum is, and how many intricate, fascinating exhibits are there. We spent almost 3 hours, and I cant wait to go back, and go through it in more detail. They have a large room created specifically for childrens parties. They have every size of model, from rail cars that are smaller than my little finger (complete with equally tiny environments & people), to one large enough to give rides around the museum grounds. They have several rooms, an outdoor area that covers the better half of a block, and a gift shop. The staff/volunteers are welcoming. Its a wonderful experience!

I drive by the place regularly and was so glad to see it! It was worth it! You have some LEGO displays - what hard work! The trains that you ride are perfect! I think the staff had as much fun as we did! We got the 94 year old on the train ride! It’s wonderful ! The staff members enjoyed talking about what’s going on!
