I love historic places and this building is a gem. The museums are a great deal. You can go to all four of them for $5 or less or $15 for a family. The train museum is the most fun for kids. There is also a classic car museum, a gun museum with an interesting miniature firearms display, & the Utah rodeo museum with lots of cool old boots & saddles. The trains outside are neat to show to kids as well.
Still a great place to take kids. However, there is really no place to sit while the kids watch the trains. The exhibits are great and a lot of thought and research was put into them. I can only wish the museum was larger with more historical facts. It is museums like this that are the only thing preserving a record of the way things used to be
We went with our Dino Museum pass. There are four museums within. A small cowboy museum (boring for kids), a train museum with a large working miniature train display and a train themed play area (the kids loved it), a firearms museum (that we did not visit), and a classic cars museum. It was good enough for a morning visit. We had a picnic lunch on the front lawn. There are retired train engines and train cars outside to look at for free. Was quiet and clean when we went.
A must see if you are in or near Ogden. The history areas are excellent - reading yes but photos and physical objects too. learned so much. If you don't know about the golden spike go here to find out! Love the western room inside and the huge trains outside!
Really fun place to go with the family. There are lots of trains outside of the historic train station that can be explored. Museum is reasonably priced and contains lots of great artifacts from the heyday of rail travel. Several dioramas with model trains make it fun for kids and adults alike. Also contains a great vintage car display and historical gun collection that shouldn't be missed.
