Yesterday, my wife and I took our son to the Whippany Railway Museum. We’ve been there before. It’s one of my two year old’s absolute favorite places. He loves trains. We rushed to try to make the 1:00 train ride but it was sold out and we had to wait an entire hour for the next ride at 2:00. I can tell that my wife was stressed at the prospect of keeping our very active son busy for an entire hour. Luckily, there was plenty to do. He rode on a kid steam engine ride. We watched the model trains on a very large outdoor track (and waived to Thomas the Train as he rode by). We went to the museum and bought some books. We drank some old fashioned root beer. And when we finally got on the train, we had a Zen-like ride. No frenetic energy. Just a very mellow family outing watching the scenery.

There’s a serious level of commitment by the folks who run the museum. They are all true train lovers, and totally devoted to making your visit a excellent one.

All questions will be answered.

If you’re considering a trip to the Whippany Railway Museum — try to do it on a Sunday when they’re having the Caboose Rides. Trust me you’ll love it.

The Whippany Railway Museum is an awesome place to visit. Not only do they have a bunch of interesting old trains to look at, on select dates they have what are called caboose Rides. Five or six caboose cars are connected and the general public can purchase tickets for a short 45 minute ride. It’s really fun.

My son. a huge Thomas the Train fan was blown away. He was in choo choo ecstasy. I could barely get him off the train. I had to chase him down the tracks kicking and screaming.

If you are looking for something really interesting to do on a Sunday, why not consider a trip to the Whippany Railway Museum. You’ll love it.

Next Caboose Ride is July 13th.
