About this adventure

The American Railroad Museum in Frisco houses some legendary heavy locomotives, including the "Big Boy" steam locomotive #4004 and century-old diesel locomotives with vintage carriages. This weekend, the indoor "TrainTown" model exhibit hall is open, featuring hundreds of feet of HO and G scale miniature trains. Children may press buttons to activate signal lights, track switches, and train whistles. Outdoor train tours are led by experienced retired train conductors, guiding children aboard historical trains. The indoor model museum is fully stroller accessible. Outdoor platforms have wide, flat concrete paths suitable for strollers. The museum also has family lounges, cold drink vending machines, and parent-child restroom facilities.
