The Oldest Collection of Railroad Artifacts in the World! Got kids who adore Thomas the Tank Engine, or all trains for that matter? If so, you must absolutely take them to the B&O Railroad Museum! Touted as the "birthplace of American railroading," the B&O Railroad's legacy is celebrated at this Maryland children's museum. Learn about its rich history dating as far back as the 19th century, when the first commercial long-distance railroad began right within its 40-acre property.
Your kids will surely be in awe of the museum's impressive collection, which is the oldest and most comprehensive in the world! This Maryland railroad museum has a section just for kids. Children ages 2-8 will love to learn in the new Choo Choo Blue Kid Zone. Kids will love to ride on the classic B&O carousel, which features images of historic B&O locomotives and logos. The Happy Train carnival ride is another fun attraction at this children's museum. Best of all, members get in for free!
