Oklahoma Railway Museum

My kids love the experience about Santa and performance, we were in the VIP cart, and we got some souvenirs mugs.They serve hot chocolate and walker shortbread, we have a tray that we can put our food so this is the main reason that I booked VIP cart so the drinks don't spill. However the trays are extremely dirty, they don't seem to clean them between rides. The hot chocolate also tastes like sweet brown water. Kids love the experience just ok for adults.Ambience: 10/10Price:5/10Food:5/10Service: 10/10

We went on Easter weekend and had such a blast. We really enjoyed checking out all of the trains. We purchased tickets to ride one of the trains for a short ride to an Easter egg hunt they provided. (How cute?!) the kids played a little mini golf and hopped in the bounce house (Idk if that may have only been there because of Easter or if it's permanently there?) nonetheless; my kids loved it. I will say I do wish more of the trains were available for touring. They had one train setup to walk through with train artifacts on display. It is pretty awesome that this museum is free to tour even without taking a ride... so I'm grateful for the experience. Would totally recommend!

Polar express event is great. We did the VIP car & the kids loved the experience with the actors & Santa. Recommend.

Took my 2 year old here on a weekday morning right when they opened. It is located sort of behind the zoo and that area of OKC. We were the only ones except for maintenance workers cleaning each train. There was a whole lot more here than what I had expected! Super friendly workers throughout they let you roam and enjoy yourselves. They do have their very own parking lot which is nice and what I didn't realize is that they have a really nice play set for kids to play on right when you walk in... For the most part it is just have fun time and explore yourself there might be guided tours available I didn't see any going on. Several cabins your able to walk through and enjoy yourself.One thing I did learn is that they do offer a train available to rent for birthday parties for children which is a huge plus! They also offer Thomas the train rides end of September which is a huge hit if you have little ones! There are picnic benches also throughout if you wish to take a lunch and spend the afternoon exploring.

A thoroughly enjoyable rail museum in the okc. They have their own parking lot which never seems to quite fill up, although on the excursion days I think there is a grass lot they open up for overflow parking. As always in oklahoma come early if you want the shaded spots.They have a sizable collection and it will take you some time to work your way all around and through it. I should also mention that it's entirely outdoor, so no shelter from the heat or rain. Well for the rain you could go inside the cars. For the heat there is nothing to be done. This is a self guided tour, although there is a giftshop (with no fixed hours)on site with folks that can answer questions, for the most part you will wander, read and explore as your heart dictates. Most-but not all-of the cars are refurbished and are open to walk (climb) in, the usual exemptions being the some of the locomotives as most of the equipment here is fully refurbished to working order. They have an especially fine selection of restored caboose's.Upon occasion they will offer excursion trips of a few hours or so, or other special events. The cars (both of them) that have a/c can be rented for events such as birthday parties etc. which seems to be the condition required to get the air conditioning on. There are picnic benches and a small children's playground should you need such things, along with public restrooms.All in all it's not too shabby a way to kill a few hours on a lovely day.

They had the Thomas the train. I brought my son and he had a good time. I have to admit as an adult I am a little disappointed as they lacked a true museum. They had food trucks and a small area to buy Thomas the train items. The food trucks had typical fair food, pizza, hamburger, fries. chicken strips, hot dogs, corn dogs, funnel cakes ect...

Amazing experience the kids had a blast. They had a special Halloween train ride which was so kid friendly. Everyone was so kind and attentive. I'm looking forward to the Christmas Train in December.

I used to take my nephew here when he was little, and he absolutely LOVED it each and every time.It's very "hands on," and the displays are highly informative.Looking for a fun way to spend the afternoon on a budget? Look no farther.

Hard to believe, but this was our first visit here since we moved to Norman in August of 2018. My wife booked us on the museum's "Polar Express,"being we were fans of the animated movieand also train enthusiasts(we belong to the OK N Rail model train club in OKC). That being said, we loved our experience and the staff were just incredible! Not only friendly but extremely helpful. This place is a real jewel, we plan on coming back to check out the rest.

This was great fun. The volunteers are awesome. However after checking, their stories don't completely match up to the Oklahoma Historic Society : )Thank you for a wonderful experience.
