The Ticket Office, Gift Shop and Model Railroad is open Wednesday – Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM. The museum’s train rides operate on weekends only. Our operating train equipment is not available for viewing during the week.
The train operates on a six mile rail line between Parrish and Willow, Florida in rural Manatee County.
Each weekend our diesel powered trains take passengers on an excursion using a variety of open-air, open-window and air conditioned cars. Trains are operated entirely by museum members volunteering thousands of hours a year to make this unique experience possible.
