Whippany Railway Museum

A fun place to take children who enjoy trains.
There are the regular, themed excursion and plenty of rail cars to explore.
The small museum, with its train layouts and exhibits are well worth the tiny requested admission.
Plenty of parking and some restaurants in walking distance.

My son loves this place. I think every week he convinces us to stop and let him check out all of the trains. If you have a child that loves trains check this place out. It is free to walk around and you can go really anytime that it is light out. The kids can climb on the trains and look inside. There are also weekends that they have special train rides (IE w/​Easter Bunny). I took my son on one of these rides, but it goes a little slow for him and he was more into the train than the Easter bunny.

I came here with a friend, my sister, niece (7) and two nephews (2 and 5.). We started the day with the excursion train ride in a real caboose. Although a bit more than I wanted to spend, the money helped fund the restoration of the trains so i was fine paying the small fee. It was a great ride with a knowledgeable member of the railway museum. The kids (and adults) had a ball climbing up into the «cupola» and looking out the many windows as we traveled down the tracks. Once we returned to the station we went into the small but well furnished museum for the $ 1 donation ($ 0.50 for kids), split a coke in an old fashioned glass bottle and checked out the interesting exhibits and cool model train setups inside and outside. The museum and grounds catered well to both children AND adults. Everyone there was super friendly. All and all it was a great afternoon and was worth the price.
