    Am an immigrant. A great museum for people like me and teach my children to appreciate and honor those who came before us and built this wonder with their own sweat and blood.

    It has a lot of cool artifacts. It's pretty old stuff and not super interactive. I took my 4 year old and my 2.5 year old. They loved it. Worth the price for a quick visit.

    A truly disappointing experience compare to the other train museum we have visited despite this is the biggest one out of them all. From the website it looks like it is indoor, however there are broken windows that the wind still blow in and the building is in the shadow which makes it colder than outside. We all had out snow suit on but it is still very cold ( and no this is not the snow storm day. It's only -4 in Winnipeg. So warm winterday). Then the only running train was in the window access only by exclusive club members ( also heated room). The rest of visitor can just stare from the outside. No children activity like coloring or video ( there are many tv screens but none of them are playing video, they are just black and off.) There are only pieces of wooden tracks and 3 little cars and NO TRAIN for the children to play ( in a train museum?) Our two year old was quite disappointed after going through all the pieces of track on the table he started to cry because he loves train not so much cars (and after seen all the people in the exclusive club playing with train that we told him he is not allow in). There are no feedback system for the museum to improve. Our attendant found a piece of blank sheets and say that was it ( he was nice but told us there is nothing he can do).

    Well worth the admission. Better to visit in the summer because it is drafty and cold in the winter. It's not really a building, more like what used to be covered railway tracks with the ends closed off. Seeing the Countess of Dufferin steam engine is worth the $5 alone but lots of other stuff too, along with model trains.
