Choo-Choo! All Aboard the Children’s Museum Express! Next Stop – TRAIN DAYS!

All aboard the laughter express at the Children’s Museum! We’re chugging full steam ahead with our train-tastic event, the Great Train Days. Come explore our train-themed exhibits and get ready to choo-choo-choose your favorite locomotive activity. We’ve got everything from mini trains for the tiny conductors to a ride-on locomotive for the more adventurous ones.

Come view model trains and meet our neighborhood train experts including Redwood Empire Garden Railway Society, Coastal Valley Lines, and even more!

Your little conductor can build their own train tracks, dance to train music, and take a ride on the Live Steamers train!
