 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  This is an amazing museum with super friendly volunteers. Currently it is free to enter but you can donate. There are several areas set up for little kids in addition to the amazing displays for all ages.

I highly recommend going all the way to the back and working your way back to the entrance. They have several model trains setups with incredible detail. A ride on train which is so fun for kids and adults alike. Several old cars and buggies, a full train car to explore, a cute camper you can rock back and forth, and several other displays and exhibits. So many model cars of all different kinds.  A highlight of our trip to Albuquerque for sure. Don't miss this awesome place!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We absolutely love this place. It is run off of donations. They have wonderful volunteers that are always eager to help explain anything. There are spots where kids can play with toy trains, ride a small train, and watch model trains go.
