Today, we celebrated the life of David Estes.David was always walking through the doors of WHEELS Museum with incredible ideas, finding creative ways to bring together his love of art and railroad history. His imagination was endless, and his enthusiasm was contagious.David was always eager to share his talents and spread joy through creativity. His latest collaboration with WHEELS was at our Route 66: Roads and Rails Festival, where, in true David fashion, he brought smiles to children’s faces by making disco ball mobiles with them.David loved WHEELS, and WHEELS loved him right back. His kindness, creativity, and joyful spirit will always be part of WHEELS. ...

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  A lot of cool items and history.  And a lot of volunteers willing to share knowledge.  It is only open until noon, so don't go late.

 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.
