Reviews
We absolutely loved to visit the National Rail Museum today! It is the perfect family plan, we got to see a lot of cool and exciting train locomotives and carriages that took us back in time. We had food and drinks at the cafe inside which were very tasty at an affordable price and made sure we bought something nice at the stop which had plenty of souvenir options! The entry is free but we recommend securing your tickets online in advance to avoid the queues. I can’t believe we waited so long to decide on visiting this museum, we will definitely return, very recommended!
One of England's best museums. I certainly was stunned by how well these beautiful carriages have been preserved.nI managed to take photos of the insides of the carriages through the windows and can imagine living in the late 1800s early 20th century.nThe sleeper train must have been a revolutionary idea at he time.nThere are also shelves full of random artifacts like a till from around 1900 and inventions not all relating to railway but so so worth spending time at.nI think this place needs a 3 hour visit.
Wonderful place to visit. Spent 2 hours here Just wandering about, looking at Old Steam trains and reading about their history. Absolutely Fascinating. Great place for young kids to see Trains and understand how they developed and why.
A really interesting and worthwhile experience. My husband was keen to go and I just went to keep him company, expecting to be bored, but I wasn't! The magnificence and condition of these amazing machines was quite breathtaking - such a variety. Very helpful, enthusiastic and informative staff.nnAs well as engines and trains, there was a good, working model railway which was a great draw for all ages.nnDon't miss the exhibition of diverse 'railwayana' in a huge hall at the rear easily bypassed by accident. Stuffed full of fascinating objects from signals, ticket machines, crockery sets and seating to medals and photos. A bonus on a freezing cold March day was that this hall was warmer and less draughty, with seating available! Do visit this as well as Jorvik when in the area.
The experience was exceptional nnThe entire facility is meticulously maintained, offering a clean and spotless environment. The museum boasts an impressive collection of train exhibits, accompanied by a rich historical context that captivates visitors of all ages.nnChildren especially enjoyed their time, as the venue provides a variety of amenities, including two coffee shops, an indoor play area, a library, well-maintained restrooms, and a heated building for comfort. Parking is conveniently located opposite the museum, with a full-day rate of only £10.nnWhile admission is free, a suggested donation of £5 per person is appreciated. Tickets must be booked in advance, even for same-day visits.nnThis is a highly recommended destination, and we look forward to returning in the future.
