"TOOT! TOOT! FUN!"
THis is the perfect destination for train lovers, no matter their age. The museum is centerally located in downtown Bellingham for easy access and on street parking. The price to the museum is reasonable and let's face it, the real reason most kids want to go is the ride on Thomas the Train. Lots of fun for everyone!

"A definite must if you have a train lover in your family"
My son is almost 3, and he loves trains. So, when we heard about the Bellingham Railway Museum, we knew we needed to drop by. My husband claimed it was all on behalf of our son, but I think my husband ended up having just as much fun!
The Railway Museum is centrally located in downtown Bellingham. Parking is easy (and cheap at 75 cents/hour on the street).
Admission to the museum is $4/adult and $1 for those 2-16, but the maximum for a family of 4 is $6. So definitely a bargain museum!
The museum is mostly made up of several large model train displays, with multiple trains running around. Kids 7 and up can operate most of the trains themselves. There are lots of places for shorter kids to go and stand to be right at train-level, which I really appreciated.
There's also a train-driving simulation game on the computer, several helpful volunteers to answer lots of questions, and a fun play area for the kids when they run out of energy for staring at trains. My son had fun playing with the toddler train tracks, and both of my kids loved riding on the ride-on Thomas train.
This is a great, inexpensive, casual museum to visit with the train lover in your life. My dad, my husband and my son all had a wonderful time!
