This was my first visit to the Raiway Museum. We had a fabulous day and will definitely come back. My wife has been lots of times previously with her children from being very young and now in their 20’s they love it still. It’s an amazing place for young and old at any time. Only regret was the Flying Scotsman wasn’t in.

Absolutely fantastic, you think it's all done then walk into another hanger full of history and engineering so well laid out and explained, clean, plenty of places to eat and drink. And friendly staff .It's a must experience. Well done York .

Excellent 3hrs well spent, have not been for years...enjoyed every minute. Good for all the family especially if you like trains and their history. Plenty of memorabilia to see, goes from the start of the railway to today. A good display of Flying Scotsman's history. Possibly 3hrs is not enough to take it all in.

One of the best Railway museums in the country. It's completely free, but you can leave donations. Two attractions need to be paid (VR and the science hall) but both of them are worth every penny.

It's one of the best Railway Museum I have ever seen. I visited the same museum last year November month and last week this year and to my surprise the whole museum is totally changed. Before it was direct entry but now free entry via a time slot which can be Pre booked on the website. Now the Museum is divided in to multiple parts. It is having very good collection of so many types of Railway engines. Now it is having multiple washrooms, multiple cafes with variety of food items. Good place for kids to spend time in so many toys & mini railway models. It is now have multiple souvenir coin machines also installed. It will take couple of hours to complete the museum now. A very good place to know the full history of Railways.

Great place, full of wonderful railway memorabilia. From full size, real trains to tiny models. The museum is free entry, and you could easily spend a few hours walking around, looking, and reading the information. Cafe on site, but also picnic benches available inside if you bring your own. Little gift shop have some lovely items for all ages. If you use the park and rise, from Rawcliffe, route 2, it stops right out the front of the museum, so really handy, and stress free.

The museum has real engine pieces, maintained at the highest standards. If you are a train nerd, it's got a lot of history and information and can even take up a whole day if you go into the nuances. Nevertheless, the visual imagery of the engine parts are nothing alike in the photos that you see. Perfect place to go with your family, as they've got a kids' play section. Toilets well maintained, cafe ✅ It's free and can be booked online.

We had a brilliant day out. The main hall has some wonderful trains, and even the Flying Scotsman was there, along with a copy of The Rocket. We had a good couple of hours looking at them all and the side shed of various memorabilia. The highlight was most definitely the WonderLab though! A new STEM exhibition that wasn't there the last time we went. It was amazing! The demonstrations and dozen or so activities were just great. We probably spent as long, if not longer, in the wonderlab than with the trains. A definite recommendation and we will certainly be back.

Every boy's dream - and their dad's too! Great selection of locomotives, mainly steam, and lots of other railway-related items too. Good information displays and helpful staff. I particularly enjoyed the 20 minute talk on how a steam engine works, which was free, as was the entry. You just have to book ahead of time, although I think you can just turn up and wait if it's busy.

One of the best Railway museums I've been to in a while, lots to see. The entry is free but on a pre-booked time slot, so it's worth pre-booking before you go. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit if you are in York, highly recommended!

Visited as part of a road trip and was really looking forward to taking the family there. It is still a wonderful place but unfortunately most of it was closed. The large shed is under renovation for some time and the outside area is completely closed off. We still had a good time there but recommend avoiding the cafe and restaurant as the food is very expensive for what it is and the coffee is awful! Super friendly staff and the £10 all day parking is great.
