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.

My 1st time at the Railway Museum and I love it! Good idea to take a tour (30 min) around and learn about Canadian railways 💺🚂👍🏼 Also don’t forget to visit a gift shop .. some cool books 📚 and other items to take home with you. Kids and adults like to take a ride on mini train 🚂 10$ Fun time to spend summer and educational

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.

A place to be visited by all ages and quite rewarding, especially who have interest in the functioning of railways and it's history. Gives a good glimpse into the history and development timeline of Canadian railway services and equipment. Exhibits display type if coaches, engines, track equipment, operational structures and buildings like cabins and coal, water feeder including a huge turntable to alter the heading of a locomotive or coach. Functioning if locomotives are explained nicely for early days steam, diesel and electric type. However all the coach and loco internals are not accessible to public and are kept locked. It would have been much better to have a peek inside and enhance the experience by great amount, adding satisfaction of rail fans hugely. Exhibit includes a impressive steam loco along with its coal feeder building (No. 6213) built in August 1942 by the Montreal Locomotive Works during World War II. It is a U-2 class Northern-type steam locomotive with a 4-8-4 wheel arrangement and was used to haul both passenger and freight trains well over a million miles during its 17-year career based in locations that ranged from Halifax on the east coast to the prairies of Saskatchewan. Unlike other outdoor display locomotives that have been allowed to deteriorate in the elements, No. 6213 has been lovingly maintained by a small group of dedicated preservationists. The place includes a joy ride train for children.

Super interesting both indoor and outdoor displays! The indoor area is a bit small but with rich history and knowledge to learn!! The train simulator is super fun to me and allows anyone to drive a train through old times in Toronto! Highly recommended!
