This place is such a beauty! It’s free to enter, just make sure it’s open. They had “The Big Boy”! Such an amazing sight to see. Definitely a fun place to learn as well, they have amazing history about trains and freight going across America and how everything has changed. I fell in love with the history and everything I saw about the history. The trains are cool, and you can go in most (not all) trains!

A great place for a railroad enthusiast, young or old. They've painted the Union Pacific 4012 Big Boy and it looked great. They've also painted Reading 2124 and it looks nice as well. The rest of the area was clean and they had park rangers and a couple of guides to answer questions. Thectrolley museum was open as well with trolley rides. (Steamtown is free, but trolley museum has a cost.)

It was a nice day. It's only six bucks for entry and that includes the the ride on a historic steam engine locomotive. The ride is short. It doesn't go fast but it's it's fun to do to be on one of those trains from 100 years ago and the locomotives they have around for you to walk through was amazing. The history of the steam locomotive was amazing. It was good for the kids. My grandkids enjoyed it and like for six bucks a kid a person you can't go wrong. Only negative thing I have to say is that the other some of the buildings were closed. The only thing they did have open was the museum shop or the book shop where you can go in and buy a souvenirs but it was interesting. It was good. It was a good day

We appreciate there being no fee to enter the area. The grounds are well kept and pleasant for walking. My children (ages 2-14) each found something they enjoyed seeing, between the engines in the yard, the hand-pump car, and the displays in the technology museum. We also enjoyed the "Scranton limited" train ride with the history tidbits shared by the park ranger over the speaker. While not a glamorous scenic train ride, the price can't be beat!

Would definitely recommend! Though can be quite hot in the summer time. Lots of old ALCO and some Baldwin class steam engines. They even have excursions in the afternoon.Free-roam, but be mindful of the facility.

Steamtown is an amazing museum that tells a good stories about trains and how trains influence the ways American lives. It has a very large yard with an impressive collection that consists of locomotives, and many passenger cars. Its massive locomotive shop has many engines in various stages of restoring. Its technology museum has exhibits that demonstrates the changes in railroad technology over the years.This museum is a must stop for both train enthusiasts and common folks. A good place to walk around to soak in the grandeur of machinery that improved the quality of life for many, and it tells a very good stories of how trains transformed America over the years.Many things to do here. You can easily spend a whole day here.

Steamtown National Historic Site is a very interesting and amazing place. There is a lot of history in this historic site. Plan on staying for a while to see everything. Several short videos and movies to watch.The passport cancelation stamp is in the visitor center. There are actually two stamps here, not just one.The junior ranger program is here as well. If you have the time completely it, it's worth it.Would recommend visiting this National Historic Site.
