The Whippany Train Museum, located at 1 Railroad Plaza in Whippany, New Jersey is a fun place for the whole family to visit. It has a variety of different events throughout the year to keep the family entertained and learning.
The Museum is open on Sundays from Noon to 4PM, April through October. The admission fee is $1.00 for adults and 50 cents for children. This money helps to support the Museum and their efforts to maintain the building, grounds and antique rail cars that are on display.
On selected dates the Whippany Railway Museum runs a running train that you can ride on. This is a really neat experience and you can get your tickets online up until an hour before the train leaves.
When you are on the train you will feel like you are in the past. From the conductors last words to the cars furnishings you will feel as though you are a part of history. The trains at the Whippany Railway Museum are some of the best preserved in the area and it is a great way to spend a day with the whole family.
You will also be able to see the trains up close and personal. There are a lot of different types of railroad cars and it is a great way to learn about the history of the trains that have been around. There is a large collection of steam locomotives that are on display and the trains that you can see are some of the oldest ones in the country.
It is a wonderful way to spend a day with the kids and you will be able to have some great memories of the day. The train rides are 45 minutes long and you can buy your ticket in advance online up until an hour before the train leaves.
During the Christmas season the Museum runs a themed train ride that is based on the film The Polar Express. The train is decorated for the season and Santa and his helpers are on board to greet passengers as they leave on a special holiday train ride. They will give each guest a sleigh bell and they will also take home their first gift of Christmas.
The Christmas train ride is a great way to celebrate the holidays with the whole family. There is a lot of Christmas music, decorations and entertainment that will make this a great experience for the entire family.
This is a great way to get the family together and enjoy the company of each other as well as the beautiful scenery that Morris County has to offer. The train rides are usually sold out early so it is best to purchase your tickets in advance.
Another fun event that the Whippany Railway Museum puts on is Halloween. You can come and watch them put on a fun show for the kids and then they will have a crafts/vendor fair.
