About

This summer, we’ll be visiting the California State Railroad Museum for a self-guided tour through one of the most celebrated railroad museums in the country. Located in Old Sacramento, the museum offers an engaging look at how the railroad shaped California and the West. Families can explore restored locomotives and railcars, interactive exhibits, and stories of the people who built and rode the rails. Whether you're a train enthusiast or just curious about history, this visit is a fun and educational way to spend a summer day with the whole family!

For museum entry, we'll enter as a school at 10:30 am and you are free to stay until closing.
