    Great signage throughout makes self-guided tour easy and convenient.

    Discover how how the west was won at the historic Ogden Union Station. So much to see at this location but I came for the trains. Large selection of engines and railcars that are very well maintained. These are not new show pieces, but retired work horses from the past that really let's you walk through a different aspect of American history. You can see and the smell the history of these cars. Engines are well documented and a docent (Norm) is on site to answer questions. It's really self guided friendly which allowed us to go at our own pace. So much more to see on other visits from cowboy and classic car museums. All contained in a beautifully maintained Ogden Union Station. I would recommend that this museum work on an audio tour so you can hear the sounds of the past as well.

    You can take your time and really get a good feel of just how the RR was started. Very cool displays and working play trains on tracks designed of the actual routes.

    This repurposed train station is the home of several interesting museums, each deserving its own review. We visited the Railroad Museum, the John Moses Browning Museum and the Browning Kimball Car Museum. Normally, admission is charged for each museum, but we happened to visit on 'Free Day'. The Railroad Museum contains so many artifacts of a bygone era, wooden trestles and steam locomotives. There is a display of the different types of railroad ties, not neckwear, the generally wooden timbers holding up the tracks. Some were concrete and even some exotic experimental materials. Many classic photos and nostalgic displays, as well, including a wonderful display of pocket watches, and an explanation of how important and meaningful they were to the development of the railroads. Some model trains are running inside, and the real ones are on display outside. The John Moses Browning Museum is not for everybody. It's all about his firearms. Virtually every handheld firearm in WW2 was developed or invented by John M. Browning. Several prototypes, one of a kind, are on display, including the classic 1911 and Hi-Power pistols. Yes, there is a room devoted to machine guns. His machine guns currently adorn modern American war vehicles, and almost all the aircraft of WW2 and Korea had Browning M2 machine guns tucked in their noses or wings. The man was a genius. The Browning-Kimball Car Museum is a collection of breathtaking cars from a very bygone era. The colors, the size, and the proportions of these vehicles are mind-boggling. Their condition is pristine and a sight to behold. The way they are displayed is no doubt due to the size and shape of the available space. Don't miss these museums at Ogden Union Station when you are in the SLC/Ogden area.

    Union Station is an amazing location in downtown Ogden and has history on top of history as the hub of early train transportation for the country. They have a number of small museums, displays, and full-sized trains on display outside to look at and walk around on. This review is specifically for their hosting of our Christmas luncheon this year and they did a fantastic job! The tables looked festive and beautiful and they set us up with everything we needed from a large screen and projector to a microphone and speakers for our presentations. We ran into a slight problem with getting audio from our presentation laptop to the speaker system and they were able to quickly iron out the issue before everyone arrived for our luncheon. Great location, great staff, and a great travel destination. Overall a fantastic place to visit!

    In town for my nephews Weber State graduation, my dad is retired SP/UP so this was a must see. The desk clerk was very friendly and so were the rest of the people. Lots to look at and enjoy!

    This museum has lots of potential but it fails to deliver. Its split into two sections, indoors and outdoors. The indoor section gives a good history of Ogden and the development of the railway system. There are some model trains exhibits towards the end but most weren't working. The ones that were, only on train was running. The Outside section has potential but its disappointing. You can walk next to the trains but you can't enter. We've been to other train museums that have exhibits setup in the trains so you get a feel for different generations of trains.

    I always enjoy this place. Has an awesome history of the Utah and American railroad and how important it was to establishing the west and America. There is also a huge browning gun museum here as Browning was founded just north of here. I recommend it as a place to get out the sun and relax and read up on history if you're in to that sort of thing.

    A wonderfully kept place to learn the history of Ogden right along Wall Ave and 25th St. It has a railroad museum, firearms museum, restaurant, vintage automobile display, Jazz nights on Wednesdays, and monthly art gallery events. Nothing like seeing those red Union Station neon lights glowing in the distance reminding you of the famous transit center of the US that it used to be in many years past.

    If you love trains you'll love this place! The building in itself is gorgeous. The museum is decent sized (for a train specific museum) and has enough stuff to keep you and your kids entertained for a day of learning. The trains outside are free to the public and very neat to see! They even sometimes have trains come through that are not permanently stationed here. If you like pressed pennies they have machines too. Nice little gift shop. Nice train store inside (where you get and make model trains, toys, etc). I haven't eaten at the restaurant but it seems busy every time I've been.

    Entrance and Lobby are worth a stroll, but there is not much to see without paying entrance for the museum.

Possibly a little too scary for some audiences-usually those that are shorter than a yardstick. The indoor area of the museum is very well done with lots of displays and exhibits that educate guests on the different pre-historic beings. There were far more than I could have named on my own with my basic "Land Before Time" dinosaur knowledge. Upstairs, you'll find rocks and gems, which is well done although maybe less interesting to some folks. However, take a peek at the dinner rocks-there's a whole display of rocks that are in the shape of food. I got a kick out of that. Outside, there's lots of wide open space with paths that wander throughout the trees. There are dinos dispersed throughout the property, and a few benches to sit on. Lots of the grounds were covered in weeds, which may have been what the dinosaurs preferred to eat. However, in modern day, it just looks unkempt. For a kiddo-or adult-that has a fascination with dinosaurs, this could be a fun place to spend an afternoon. For the rest of us, an hour or two is probably plenty.

I read up on military stories. And sometimes, I was lucky enough to meet a veteran that would share their stories. Hill Aerospace had all of that. Since my wife does the planning, I didn't think much of our visit until we pulled up and those large decommissioned military planes sitting outside in all of its glory brought me back to when I was 10 years old. But the magic continues after you walk in. Within three large hangers housed of some of the most historically iconic planes on display. Add a small platoon of veterans, many of which had personally flown some of these pieces, the stories were endless and I had the honor of speaking with a number of these veterans and listen to their stories. It was an amazing time and I could have spent the whole day there. I don't say this often, but Hill Aerospace is almost a destination museum. It was such a great experience and those veterans made it that much more special.

Also, free admission (with optional donation), which is amazing considering how much there is to see. Perfect place to spend a few hours learning, exploring, or just staring up at some truly impressive engineering. Great stop for families, aviation lovers, or anyone looking for something inspiring and different to do. Highly recommend.

The amount of unruly older aged kids running amok pushing and shoving younger kids to play hide & seek was absolutely obnoxious!!! Throwing legos and plastic balls throughout the museum without anyone stopping them parents or staff was totally uncalled for and now I know why barely anything works here. I'm thankful I didn't pay admission fees because I would be sorely disappointed in tear my money paid for. The reviews and photos online make this place out to be so much better than our experience today. The Children's museum downtown is, not only cleaner, it's more taken care of & supervised by staff way better than this museum. It's like adults dropped off their middle school kids and left them unsupervised.

I grabbed my grandson close and we ran with my sweater over him like a mother hen. When out of an old West movie, a cowboy on his electric pony pull up to us, yelled at my grandson, GET IN. (You know that boy listen...wow). I turned to help my daughter and 2 other babies in a stroller. Once they babies were safe, this cowboy asked gentlemen like, for me to get in. I did. In the mass confusion and shelter seeking, he did not loose his composure. Calmly stopping to look at my daughter for her safety. Checking capacity of the tiny village homes along the way. He drove us to the SUV in the field, relying on a 6 year old boy for directions...this child has not moved. He was standing against this stranger, not out of fear but total trust ., He asked if we would be ok, I said Yes, while explaining to grandson that this nice man needed to save more ladies and kids, like he did for us . Once we were clear, and could see my daughter and the babies coming through the grass lot of cars, the cowboy was gone. We would like to say a great big THANK YOU first to this man's mom, you taught him well. To his father for giving him the protective nature and control for any situation.
