Horrible experience for myself and 6 year old son with autism. My son was verbally abused by a staff member. Staff member stated “I blew air in your face for being a bad boy. Then proceed to say if you continue to be a bad boy I will blow air into your face again. Then intentionally blew loud horn. Told my son that if he touched the locomotive it would cut his hands off.” This was supposed to have been a pleasant learning experience/environment for the group of children I was meeting there whom have autism as well. Hands down horrible experience. We will not be returning. And get this the director of Infinite Learning was told that there would be no issues with this group of autistic children touching etc. #wrongautismmom #wrongautisticchild

The Wheels Museum is volunteer run and was such a treat! We visited a bunch museums and this sort of unofficial museum was, hands down, our favorite. The door was locked when we arrived (I think by accident) but they hurried to let us in when I called and welcomed us warmly. They let my 6yo run the little train we all rode on. Another volunteer gave him a little matchbox car to keep. There were tons of all sorts of antiques on wheels, and some not on wheels. I was amazed by the collection and the enthusiasm and knowledge of the volunteers. Don’t forget to stuff cash in their donation box. They truly deserve it.

At the Wheels Museum In Albuquerque, we explore its captivating past and discover its significant role in railroad history. The museum boasts intriguing displays of vintage cars and various mementos from bygone eras. A notable highlight is Saul Goodman's old and battered Subaru Esteam, complete with bullet holes and a dented roof, so cool to see the actual car used in the making of “Better Call Saul series”. However, the true treasures of this museum are its knowledgeable staff who possess an encyclopedic knowledge of Albuquerque's past, making every visit an enriching and educational experience.

Amazing collection, great history of the railyards and the people who worked there. I really can not say enough, we thought we might be there for an hour at most but we ended up spending three hours there and plan to go back. The staff were super knowledgeable and friendly. If you are into toy trains they have a great O gauge layout, biggest I have seen. But there is so much more to see here and it is free. It was a very motivating visit for me I bought a book there to read up on the social history of the locomotive repair shop there. Please donate what you can when you visit.

My grandsons, aged 15 to 5, and I visited. We all were engaged and enjoyed our time at the Wheels Museum. Besides the many trains there are cars and planes and many historic items. There is also a train ride for the young, and young at heart! We plan to return. The volunteers were knowledgeable and very friendly. My husband was out of town but is looking forward to visiting soon.

This was an amazing find in Albuquerque while exploring the city! If you're into anything wheel related and enjoy being around others who are passionate and willing to take time to show you around, then make the trip. There is no charge, but support people who make an effort to support our city and drop a donation or at least a good review!
