## About

Thanksgiving weekend marks the grand kickoff of the Holiday Festival of Trains inside the world-famous 1884 B&O Railroad Museum Roundhouse. Families can explore America’s most historic railroad collection alongside massive operating model train layouts, seasonal festive holiday displays, and interactive children's engineer workshops. Visitors can climb aboard the 'Mile One Express' for a memorable daytime train ride along the original first commercial mile of railroad laid in the United States.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Expansive brick and concrete walkways inside the roundhouse; ground-level stroller parking available near train boarding platforms.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Restrooms with changing stations located in the main pavilion; heated indoor seating areas with model train viewing benches.
• Age Suitability: Engaging for toddlers through grandparents; young train enthusiasts will love the interactive Thomas & Friends play tables and climb-aboard cabooses.
• Sensory Tips: Train whistles and diesel/steam locomotives produce authentic railroad sounds; children sensitive to sudden loud noises may appreciate ear protection during train departures.
