Roundhouse Park and the Toronto Railway Museum

We did not wait to enter. The inside has some you trains for little kids to play with, I thought this was a VERY great idea! Inside has alot of information if you take the time to look, scan the codes and listen. There is also a train simulator. Indoors can be slightly overwhelming as everything is crammed into a small area. The outdoor guided tour was informative and interactive. We enjoyed learning about the old rail system and exploring inside the carts. The gift shop was lovely, however there needs to be a way to exit the gift shop where patrons of the mini train are not taking up the space. There is a wide deck but everyone waiting for the mini train was lined up and there was really no where for my family to exit with space or getting in the way of the mini train ride. Also I think that some of the staff could have been a little more upbeat to make the experience joyful. Everyone seemed very cut and dry. All in all we enjoyed our time, it is brief but affordable.

I thoroughly enjoyed our little tour of the Toronto Railway museum. The trains displayed outside the museum are amazing. With our entry ticket, we had a tour guide which explained the history of one of the trains he was the engineer to. I learnt a lot from him and it was truly a trot down memory lane. The museum inside is quite small, but they have a child play area with colouring. There is also a simulation, which we enjoyed a lot. The miniature trains were so lovely too. If you're around the area and love trains, go for it and take the tour. It was truly worth it.

Really enjoyed this little museum! It only takes about 15 minutes to go through, but there’s lots of interesting stuff packed in. The staff were super nice. There’s also a small area for kids, which is a great touch. Worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Very nice museum with friendly staff as well as a wonderful collection of locomotives both inside and outside. Very nice simulator as well. Sadly couldn't catch the interior tours of some of them but I hope I can on a future visit.
