Displays of old train cars, and models of old train cars. Plaques describe history of railroad, labor issues and strikes, and role in the Underground Railroad (a bit too politically correct, but still enlightening).

Wonderful museum with an extensive display of trains. The train ride was short but worth the price of the coach ticket. This would have been a five star experience for our family but the public bathrooms are "all gender" and were very awkward to figure out. There was confusion for not only our family but others who were trying to figure out which restroom to use. One says without urinal and the other with urinal. We felt uncomfortable with our young children being in a non-private public restroom with adults of the opposite sex.

The museum has an impressive collection of train engines and cars dating back before the civil war. I am not particularly interested in trains and was still fascinated by the collection.

Great collection of old trains , for people who like wondering around .
We was surprise about restroom selection .How it possible all family must use same toilet ,boys and girls together ?It is public place and use toilet must be little more privacy.

Taking advantage of a beautiful spring day, traveled to Baltimore and visited the B&O Railroad Museum. Free off-street parking on site. After paying entry fee, access through the small gift shop to the exhibits. Model trains and Underground Railroad exhibits prior to entering the Roundhouse where the excellent locomotives and other railroad-related hardware are displayed. An outside display area includes a large-scale model train, the cafe, play area, and rail platforms that offer rides. Very extensive, historical exhibits afford an enjoyable time. Allow at least one to two hours.

This place, although listed as one of the top tourist attractions in Baltimore, is geared towards two demographics:
- Children who are into Thomas the Tank Engine and are therefore obsessed with trains
- Adults who kept the flame alive for their burning passion, years later
Anyone who is in the middle, can skip this museum.
The gist is this:
- An area where you can see model trains behind glass. I could see that being of value.
- A small room full of clocks explaining USA time zones
- They offer you a 15 minute train ride for $3, or $10 for "first class." I chose the standard fare. When boarding the train, I didn't see any difference between the two and it didn't seem like the "conductor" cared too much where you sat. The train ride itself was extremely lame. One side you see nothing except grass covered hills and trees brushing by extremely close. The other side is even worse with the trashy parts of Baltimore. There may have been an audio tour aspect to it but I couldn't hear much. It felt like an unnecessary ride on the Metra/Amtrak. Colossal waste of time. Thank goodness I didn't buy "first class."
2 stars and not 1 because:
- Information/exhibits about the Underground railroad and racial discrimination (important subject matter, but unfortunately nothing new)
- There was a large replica of the Camden Yards area along with famous parts of the city on Eutaw Street, Mt. Vernon, etc. In the replica, it shows 1997 Orioles facing the Mariners in the ALDS. That was dope.
- The amount of trains they have in their station were marvelous and there were a few you could climb onto. I did learn about some information on some of the trains (and their routes) that were docked there (like the Ma&Pa)
I was expecting films, more interactive exhibits, more learning about different historical aspects such as how the Vanderbilts (and other families) built the railways, immigrant labor, train robberies, experiencing what it was like to sit/sleep in those cross country coaches, etc. It's possible some of that information was on a placard but they should've done more.
My question for adults who are into trains or late 19th century US History, did you learn anything?

We had hoped to do this a few years ago, but waited until after he pandemic hoping to give out 5 year old a memorable experience. He was so excited and told all his friends at school that he was going to the polar express.
In short, we did it and we will never do it again and I recommend you look elsewhere. Because I can’t believe we spent $172 for two adults and the child to do this experience on top of the hour and a half ride up to Baltimore.
You are asked to arrive at 1 PM only to stand in a line for 45 minutes with young children, waiting to get on the train…. This is after you’ve already waited in line outside because they don’t let you inside to do next line before 1 PM
They’re blasting dance music and have one activity for kids to color a gingerbread house on a lunch bag, which took about five minutes. Then you think somethings going to happen and what do they do but put up a scene from the movie on a big screen that we’ve all already seen 20 times.
And finally you get to board the train one hour later. The train that we were on in bronze class was basically a dressed up Marc train.
The museum is not in a great place in Baltimore and the train that you get on has the windows covered in “white snow” because the train basically drives 15 minutes out and 15 minutes back at 5 mph and all you would see are the crappy parts of the Baltimore next to the tracks.
They had the dancing chefs, they had the hot chocolate and cookie, they had the punching of the tickets, and they had Santa come through for a picture. But honestly, from a creativity perspective, there’s so much more that they could’ve done. There is no singing of carols and it felt like a get them in and get them out experience. All the parents honestly looked miserable.

What an amazing facility! My wife, who is not a train person, was skeptical about going. However, once we got there and saw the amazing historical items and trains, she even came around and ended up loving it!
There is so much to see here in terms of history, actual locomotives, and various model trains as well. It was truly amazing! We will definitely be going back!

Interesting trip through history by reading and seeing how important the railroad was in our country. The museum staff and volunteers have put so much care into preserving history. Top notch railroad museum. Learned quite a bit on our visit and totally enjoyed our time there. Glad we went.

What are the best ways to get there without a car from the harbor? Is walking safe?
Matt
بنسيلفانيا112 مساهمة
You can walk and it’s relatively safe but a long hike- around 45 minutes . BO. Has no transit from the harbor and public transport in Baltimore sucks in general- So Uber would be your best bet

Vicki A

Not as many outdoors. BUT.....we felt very comfortable with more large open-type spaces inside and masks required and social distancing in place. The staff were very good about keeping things safe. Enjoy.
Is there parking space? And how much?

A. Yes, the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore offers 200 free parking spaces in the front parking lot located off of Pratt Street and an additional 500 parking spaces in the back parking lot, located off Arlington Street. There are additional fees for opening the Arlington Street parking

It somewhat depends upon your interest of trains. My dad is a big railroad buff and we spent a good 2 hours walking around. there are a lot of train cars and locomotives you can climb aboard and see as well as a model train layout.

Just fyi on this and other travels you may do, with some simple online research you can usually find discounts such as 2 for 1 coupons for the B&O railway museum. I agree with you that $16pp is a tad steep, but cut that in half and it becomes reasonable. Hope this helps.

"Two-fers" are a good deal if you can 1) find them and 2) plan ahead for your excursion to the museum (or anywhere for that matter!) For solo travelers, it won't cost you any more than your ticket might have and there is a chance you will walk in the door with someone and be able to use it/sell it.
