I'm not a car enthusiast, but I do love going to museums. It's nice to come over in a nice, sunny…read moreday. I enjoy the interaction, but I'm bummed that some places are closed. I do feel uncomfortable going through enclosed spaces, especially when kids won't stop coughing. I couldn't explore as I please. I also couldn't go onto the trolley as it was not in service. I think it's good for aesthetics, but only if it's crowded or in the weekends.

Did you know that we house one of the largest and best collections of transportation vehicles in…read morethe world? I sure didn't! And it's no surprise with the rich history embedded in St. Louis with regards to automobiles, trains, and airplanes. We weren't really sure what to expect, but boy did this place knock those expectations out of the ballpark! Some things to expect: - This place is great for both children and adults. - If you're visiting purely to view the trains, they're all outdoors so you'll want to plan a visit on a day when you don't mind walking/standing around outdoors for awhile. - Speaking of awhile... expect to spend 2-3 hours. I came with my husband who is an engineer and we spent nearly 4 hours here. I had to drag him out. Literally. He wants to go back. Every. Day. - Prepare to walk. There are some benches scattered outside, but you'll want to equip your feet with some comfortable walking shoes. -Volunteers and workers are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do! Don't be shy to stop and ask them questions. - Here in St. Louis, we often take for granted having free access to many of our attractions. Unfortunately, there is an admission fee here and it's not cheap. There are additional fees if you're interested in a train ride, all worth it in my opinion. The way I see it, it's going towards maintaining the museum... and a great one at that! Hope you enjoy your visit as much as we did!

We came to St Charles with my 5 siblings and their spouses. I mistakenly included a visit to the…read moremuseum on Saturday morning not knowing they weren't open. We all caravanned to the site met by an empty parking lot. I felt terrible that I planned wrong. Just as we were thinking of something else to do the door opened and we were told they would open for us. We absolutely loved touring through seeing all the cars and antiques. The manager and owner were so friendly and informative. It was a great experience!

I love car museums because I'm a car guy so I loved this place. It's larger than it looks and it's…read moremore in a suburb of St. Louis with an $8 ticket to get in. There is transportation, cars, trucks toys, signage etc all over the place. 1900s to present approximately with a nice selection of items. I did like that they had 3 cars from my generation collector car. As a car guy it's nice to see that all these items are preserved. The good news is that most of the collection is for sale.
