This place is AWESOME! My family went when they collaborated with the Transportation museum. My 2.5 year old LOVED it!!! The train displays are enormous and my son had so much fun watching everything. There are also areas for kids that are more interactive. It really is just one of the coolest places I have taken my tinybtrain enthusiast.
Well worth the money and you can easily spend hours there. Can't wait till my sons next birthday so we can have it here!
There was also a young man in a room with a train set that I guess gives them alot of trouble. I was having sensory issues and kinda went in there to hide. He was a DELIGHT to talk to. Told me stories about the history of Thomas the Train. As well as showed me some other animations of trains for my son. It was wonderful listening to how much he enjoys this hobby. I hope if this continues to be a love of my sons he enjoys it as much as that young man does.
Edit: Just realized I never edited my review after we had my sons birthday here. It was almost 2 years ago but it was an amazing choice. If I recall it was $100-$150. You get access to the birthday room. Which they decorate and provide cutlery and such. There is a model train set up there for the kids as well as a play area. Then of course they have access to all the model train sets in the building. If I remember right you get the room for like 2 hours. It was SO worth the price. You you are looking for a great place to hold a birthday party for your Jr. Conductor. Tnis...
Read moreWe decided to choose the museum for our son’s 3rd birthday because we had seen a flyer regarding birthdays at another museum. The first thing I would like to say is that the staff at the museum were outstanding! You could tell that everyone wanted to be there. The next thing I would like to say is that the value for what you pay for to use their space is generous. We had a private room for 30 people, access to the museum for all of our guests, dinnerware was included, decorations, tables and chairs were all setup for us, and our kiddo got to get a whistle, shirt, or hat at no extra expense to us.
I had never heard of this place until we found their flyer, and none of our birthday guests had heard of it before either. I really hope that the word about this awesome place is getting around outside of my social circles because it is an amazing spot. Thanks for everything you did today to make my son’s...
Read moreI took my son who enjoys trains and making models. He loved it, so if you enjoy model railroads, you’ll probably enjoy this place! I, however, have a limited attention span for this hobby, and I had “seen it all” in five minutes. The bathrooms were clean.
It seems like a place for locals to work on projects together.
I think of my 7 person family, 4 of us would Have lasted 5 min, and the others half an hour. It’s not a must-see when going to Wichita - unless this is your...
