If your kids are loco about locomotives then bring the family to this large 57 acre site that's full of exhibits and activities. There's plenty to walk around that was once the largest steam locomotive repair facility on the east coast. The kids will enjoy taking a ride on the train & turntable, the family events that they have throughout the year and the day camps.A highlight has to be the train rides which take 3 miles and take 25 minutes and includes informative commentary about the site.
