- Laura TillieJanuary 24, 2015Kids and adults loved this! Had a special model train exhibit that made it well worth the trip. Easy to navigate and parking was a breeze.
Lots of history here but also “train fun” for the youngsters. Have taken young grandson twice now & he loves. Recent visit was for Trains, Trains, Trains event in Jan.
Andy MacAlpineMarch 25, 2013Made for a fun afternoon for dad and son. Young kids will enjoy dressing up, playing in the pre-K room and pushing the big red button to make the model train go. And the General is impressive!- Johanna N.May 11, 2013Scheduled an unguided tour for my son's third birthday party. After the kids explored and played in the preschool area we headed to the playground across the street for cake. Perfect party!
Jeannette ShadeJuly 7, 2013Much bigger than expected. It took us two hours to go through. There is a short movie about the great locomotive chase.- Occupy My Family AtlantaDecember 18, 2012Your kids will love playing in the spacious kids areas! Parents will enjoy learning more about Cobb County's role in the Civil War!
