RubySeptember 12, 2015I've been here a few times and it's still my fave museum in Sacramento. It's a lot of fun because the scenes are very well constructed and you can interact with many of them as well!
If you have small kids invest in the caboose club. $25 for the year, child and adult free every visit and free train rides in the summer! Great air conditioning when it's to hot to be outdoors.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Twinkle DenoyoOctober 4, 2017Sleeper car was amazing as they rock the car so its like being on an actual moving train. You can try to operate a high speed train simulator on 2nd floor!
Millie JohnsonJanuary 2, 2019There was so much more than I expected. The train cars were fabulous! There was more with every turn and you could either board them or look in the windows. I had never seen a post office car.
David HyltonFebruary 4, 2017Best teain museum possibly anywhere. Free museum day on the first Saturday in February makes this a bargain.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCKOctober 24, 2013Fascinating museum. They have occasionally held workshops photographers to come learn how to shoot in dim museum lighting
Tatiana LutzJanuary 22, 2016Very interesting! Make sure to join a 40-minutes tour on your way out of the theater.
TedFebruary 12, 2011If you park at k street mall you can get three hours free parking with validation and the hourly rate is a lot less than the old sac garages. There is a nice tunnel that goes right under the freeway.- WorldStridesApril 7, 2011The California State Railroad Museum retells the history of the railroad, and has 21 restored locomotives and other railcars, including a Pullman-style sleeping car and a Railway Post Office.

- Louie 李景雲 LeeDecember 17, 2011Don't miss the sleeper car and dining car in the back. The sleeper car shakes!
Sean DerfieldMarch 19, 2010When visiting The Railroad museum stop bye River City Saloon next door. Free wi-fi, cheap drinks, and don't forget to say hi to the mayor, he is a bartender there!
Drew SharpeApril 26, 2010I've wanted to go here since I was a kid. I got there early and walked around. They were getting the engine ready for the rides. Was cool
