All Aboard! Our Family Day at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden!

Join us for a full day of history and locomotives! We headed out to Golden, CO, to explore the Colorado Railroad Museum, and it did not disappoint. From climbing inside historic cabooses to watching the massive steam engines, there was so much to see on their 15-acre railyard.

Highlights of our trip:
Historic Trains: Getting up close to over 100 engines and coaches.
The Model Railroad: We spent way too much time in the basement checking out the massive HO model layout.
Roundhouse Fun: Seeing where the restoration magic happens and the working turntable.

If you’re a train lover or just looking for a great family day trip near Denver, this is a must-visit!
