It's a great deal and if you only have one child as we do, the card doesn't expire. No kids, not a problem- it's a great place for adults too!!"

Seriously there were so many cool placards to read. They have some cool cars too, like a one off-custom-futuristic-Jetsons inspired car. Also, the volunteers are passionate about being there it seemed - which I can appreciate."

There is an enormous amount of steam locomotives, diesel engines and classic Pullman passanger cars. Many of the exhibits are hands on and the museum is very interactive. This is definitely a great place to bring young kids. Highly Recommend to anyone traveling through the St. Louis area."

Plus if you want to ride the smaller train you have to pay more. $16 for adults and $8 for 12 and under. Littles are free. You can see trains and climb on a few. Cool cars and other stuff inside. Ride the tram back and forth a few times for free. But it's a walk to get to it. But if you have never been the kids think it's cool!!"
