Thanksgiving by Rail - National Museum of Railroad History & Innovation

Workshop

Children will jump into hands-on fun as they explore different types of train cars and discover how each one helps deliver the foods that make Thanksgiving dinner possible. Moving from station to station, they’ll race to load their assigned train car—whether it’s a tanker car, a boxcar, or an animal car—with the right items for delivery, turning learning into a full-steam-ahead adventure. 

Admission:

Included with Museum Admission. Museum Members FREE.

“This was such an awesome experience! The trains inside were phenomenal and all very well kept. But we went ahead and did the train ride also and that was just icing on the cake! This is a great experience for kids, teens, and adults like myself.”
