This was an unexpected treasure and well worth our visit! We were staying nearby, outside of Naples, and looking for something to do in the afternoon. I figure this might be a good one hour visit but we ended up spending more than three hours here. If you love trains or transportation at all, this is a destination to visit. They have put together an amazing collection, well maintained, and well documented. We also enjoyed their cafe, immensely. It has an espresso machine that shows off the steam interior. They also use a lot of blue and yellow ceramic, which you find all along the coast and islands here. If you have half a day and want to see something different, you should check this out. It is near the coast and has beautiful views as well, so if your other half is bored, get them a coffee or cocktail and walk around. Well done, Italy. Another gift to enjoy!

A challenge to get here from Napoli Centrale as I wasn't quite sure which train to board and I didn't want to get stuck on a train going to Pompeii and beyond. I ended up on the 254 bus which worked out okay. The museum is a massive collection of classic locomotives and train cars. Several dozen and a few of them are open so that you can walk through and sit down in. On the Sunday morning we visited, there was a school trip of some sort. Lots of kids getting extremely excited about the trains and making a whole lot of hollering. There are a few different barns of exhibits so we worked to avoid getting stuck in the same place with them a second time. Most of the exhibits have captions in Italian and English that provide some history and detail about where the train served and how it was acquired by the museum. I found this really helpful!

Il museo è pulito e ben tenuto. Bello il panorama sul mare. Suggestiva la possibilità di poter consumare di fronte al mare tramite il bar della struttura, tra l'altro molto elegante. Ci sono diverse sezioni: la prima è quella delle locomotive, poi di fronte c'è quella delle carrozze, poi una piccola sezione su treni diesel ed un'altra sezione con dei plastici ed il book shop. Ci si perde però nei dettagli. Non è chiaro (o almeno chiaramente indicato) l'ordine di visita per vedere le locomotive in ordine cronologico. Esiste un video di 20 minuti molto bello, al costo di 1 euro a persona al di fuori del biglietto di ingresso, che non viene pubblicizzato nè nella cartellonistica nè dal personale all'accettazione; siamo entrati nella sezione della proiezione "abusivamente" senza volerlo e solo allora siamo stati informati del costo. Manca una cartellonistica che potrebbe spiegare in breve la storia dell'evoluzione del treno (il sistema vapore viene spiegato semplicemente ma chiaramente nel video, mentre per i successivi sistemi si può dedurre qualcosa dai cartelloni informativi delle singole locomotive). Sarebbe gradita inoltre una più chiara indicazione delle sezioni, considerando che oltre noi anche altri visitatori erano disorientati e incerti sull'aver visto effettivamente tutto. Parcheggio a pagamento in uno spiazzo con delle attività (gommista, meccanico, ecc) lasciando le chiavi in auto. 5 euro per 3 ore, poi sovrapprezzo orario (mi sembra 3 euro addizionali).

I have been to few railway museums. This one definitely has the best position and views. It is very clean and tidy. We went in a totally unbusy time - like 10 people in the whole museum. So it is hard to judge the popularity. But I guess what is missing is more interactivity. You can watch, go through some carriages… but something is still missing. Perhaps looking to Japan would do the trick. But still, very nice. And the price is unreal! 5 euro if you come by train… that’s like for free.

An incredible experience! The variety of trains, access to the trains and overall displays are well take care of. The view of the sea and the gardens are also breathtaking. If you have a chance to go, you will have a day full of exploration and adventure. You can even eat wonderful food, snacks, pastries, tea, drinks, and café at Cafe Bayard at the museum. Beautiful environment so welcoming. We had great service from Martina, Angelo, and Gaetano. We will definitely be back again.

Ever since, as a child, you were playing with trains, you had longed for a real train.. Under a pavilion of a former iron foundry come on board the railway of history. After that don't forget to take a walk around the outside gardens and have a glance over the Golfo di Napoli right from the middle of it. Stop in "Pietrarsa S.Giorgio a Cremano" station (from underground station Napoli Piazza Garibadi platform Metro linea 2 destination Salerno - Torre Annunziata - Castellammare)
