Reviews of North Alabama Railroad Museum (Museum)

Jackie Fulks

The staff members(all volunteers) are friendly and try to answer questions to the best of their ability. They are wheelchair accessible on most rides. Some rides are not wheelchair accessible due to the nature of the rides but you should be able to find out which ones are and which ones are no when ordering tickets. All of the cars and engines are refurbished by the volunteers and that is where the profits go.

The train museum is hidden in a valley North of town and East of A&M University. The indoor and outdoor train displays will provide hours of entertainment for parents and smaller kids who like to crawl on things. There is a good representation of past train models and types. The best part of this small museum is the volunteers who will describe and detail the history of any of the displays and explain how it all worked... Lots of fun for a short trip and a nice location!

We went on the train ride on a dark rainy Friday night. We pulled into the parking lot at the wrong place and our car got stuck in the mud. I asked in the ticket office what we should do. 3 really nice men that worked on the train quickly volunteered to help us out. They got a chain & pulled our car out. We got to enjoy the train ride w/out the worry of what to do later. The kids will never forget the experience. What great service!!! I am so impressed & grateful! Thanks to the volunteer workers at the museum.....really good people!

My 4 year old son is obsessed with trains. He didnt wanna leave. We learned alot about the train we rode and each individual car attached. Couldnt have asked for a better experience.

Annette Joplin

It took you back in time, they played music from the time period which just added to the ambience, they even punched our tickets!

Billy Ashmall

Had fun with girl scouts. Keep the museum alive

Josh Alldredge

We went for the north star. It was ok but they need to put more effort into it. Decorating the price you pay was high for what you got

Monster Babe

A bit of a let down

Karla Little

Fun for the kids..

Colleen Cooper

It was an enjoyable train and Santa experience but I thought it was too short. If the train ride had been longer I would have thought it was better.

Fun thing to do with the kids!

Crystal Harrison

Great place to come for either a ride on the train, or a lesson in train history!

Anna Nappier

We went for the Peter Cottontail Express the day before Easter. It was fun and our 4 year old really seemed to like it. I didn't feel that it was worth the money we paid. Proud we did it, but don't seeing this being an every year thing for us.

Johnny Reagan

Relaxing ride and a pleasure for a history buff.

Great history! Even if the museum isn't operating trains you can still go in and look around and even railfan the NS mainline!

Jason Nickel

We had a great time. We went on the Father's Day ride and my family and I enjoyed the trip a ton. The ride itself lasted about 45 mins and although it didn't travel far we saw a lot of great local views. We will be returning to do another trip again.

Great weekend attraction!

Kenneth Vincent

A variety of old train cars to look at and they offer rides on some.

Andrea Ray

A step back in time. Perfect for someone who loves trains or a bit of history.

Scott Stafford

This an American Train Graveyard. For people who admire the authenticity of an original paint job on an antique slice of American History. The Village of Chase sits peacefully frozen in a simpler time, just a mile from the four lane hustle and bustle of the industrial park. There are still many original houses.

Loved our first color cruise on Coach 6090!

Holly Jordan

This is up there with Chattanooga Choo Choo Train!

Peter Harker

This is a great place to take the family and enjoy vintage trains.

Go Me

Kindergarten kiddo loved it...

Belinda Henderson

Brought 60 people on 3 busses. 2 1/2 hour ride to get there. Disappointed. Description of ride said "winds in and out" which does not mean go forward then go backward in same direction.

Online it said this place was open from 8am-8pm. When we got there at 4:45 pm. It was closed. A sign outside indicated they are open from 9-4. When I called the phone number online, the answering service said they were open from 8-4:30. So, I don't know.

Stacy Cottles

Time says 9-4pm daily but I sit here at 2pm at the gate and it's closed on Wednesday? Super confused?

Sean

During the holiday season, Santa hosts several train rides complete with snacks and beverages. The kids wear their PJs and get time with and a present from Santa himself. Getting to go for a ride in the historical train cars is fun for the whole family.

Steven Barnes

Should have the volunteers tell more about the trains during the ride.

Vincent Flanagan

Unofficially closed to the public due to school field trips. No sign stating, nothing on the Web page or Google. Wasted vacation time and fuel. Very disappointed.

Brandy Slaton

My kids rode on the santa train and loved it. We will be back.

Lee W

From what I can tell this is just a train yard. Yes there are trains but I would not call it museum. We when when it said it was opened it was technically open but in a open abandoned lot way.

Mrs.Patty Compton

It's was awesome my whole family loved it

Welton Giolo

It nice place to take you kids and feel the Christmas spirit!!!
