This family-friendly place is a 57 acre site filled with interesting exhibits and special events. 

With four large exhibit buildings representing the remaining structures of the historic Spencer Shops, the museum is a source of education and fun for the young and old. 

Year-round, there’s plenty to see and do. Take a ride on the train or turntable. Go on a scenic excursion or participate in our Day Out With Thomas festivities.  There's something for everyone to enjoy.
