Families

Our award-winning museum has something for everyone—find out more about what's on offer for families here.

Facilities

The museum has accessible baby-changing facilities, picnic areas and a cafe serving hot and cold food.

You can bring your own packed lunch and soak up the sunshine alongside our cherry blossom trees in the outdoor picnic area. If the weather is against you, move indoors and enjoy your family lunch at one of our indoor picnic tables as you take in the impressive locomotives on display in the Collection Building
