If you’re a history enthusiast or simply enjoy visiting iconic landmarks, Ogden’s Union Station is a must-see destination. The station beautifully blends its rich history with a welcoming atmosphere, making it one of the city’s top attractions.
The first thing you’ll notice is the striking architecture. The building, originally constructed in the 1920s, retains much of its original charm. The Spanish Colonial Revival style adds to the station’s grandeur, and walking through its hallways feels like stepping back in time.
One of the highlights of the station is its collection of museums. The Utah State Railroad Museum is particularly impressive, showcasing Ogden’s crucial role as a railway hub. There are interactive exhibits, vintage locomotives, and detailed information about the construction of the transcontinental railroad. The John M. Browning Firearms Museum and the Car Museum also provide a deep dive into Utah’s rich industrial history.
The atmosphere of Union Station is calm and inviting. Whether you’re a local or a traveler passing through, it’s a great spot to relax, grab a coffee, and soak in the rich heritage. There’s also a gift shop with unique souvenirs to remember your visit.
In summary, Ogden’s Union Station is a gem for anyone interested in history, trains, or just looking for a peaceful place to explore. It offers a mix of educational exhibits, beautiful architecture, and a sense of nostalgia, making it a memorable experience for visitors of all ages.

I love the museum. I go as kid I loved it. I go as teen I love it. I go as young adult I loved it 10/10. Went on a bad date here a few years ago at least this was still good. Museum was still good today and every day. I go here with my friend Alex when I had a tummy ache still good time other than tummy ache. I wish there were more model train. Sometimes I wish I could live in a model train village it seems so peaceful. I like the mountain model train here. Please make more model train scene for young adults like me and the old me who love this. I hope when I am old I have a nice wife and a nice child to bring here and show around. Thank you train place

There is a super cute museum inside, we paid 7 dollars per person, when you visit Ogden you shouldn’t miss this museum. I liked cowboy and train section very much.

The Browning Gun Museum is excellent. I also enjoyed the car and Union Pacific train museums.

Great place to see. If you like history this place has more than just trains. It is a glimpse into the town and the area surrounding it. The railroad was a big part of building this area for sure.

Ok go here for trains and guns don't go here for the art museum! First we couldn't find it and then there were history exhibits instead of art.

Ugh. It’s frustrating. Google says it’s open until 4:00. That’s JUST the outside trains that you can walk around and not go on. The museums inside the station look really awesome. I wouldn’t know because I showed up at 3:00, paid for my 4 kids and myself and was told everything closed at 4:00. Inaccurate. EVERYTHING CLOSES AT 3:00!!! Don’t get duped like I did. Google also says it’s free, it’s not. My kids are sitting here in our car, ticked off that we got bait ‘n switched.

DEFINITELY NOT SUPRISED BY THE TRASH WE'VE ALL COME TO EXPECT BY YOU UNION PACIFIC!!! DURRRRR!!

I'm not a train guy. My wife wants me to be but I'm just not. Model trains bore me to death. My son likes them so I do them with him because I want to be with him but they really bore me. God I hope he never sees this review but if you do bubba I love you dearly and I do them because I want to be with you.
