Gold Coast Railroad Museum

Even if your here for the trains, the tours, or being a railway fanatic. Gold Coast Railway Museum is the place for you. Me personally, it was me being obsessed with Thomas and Friends as a kid. Watching nearly every season of that iconic railway show. I never really had a chance to visit the museum, but 10 years later im now joining the crew as a volunteer excited to help around the place. If you love railways, trains, or want to go somewhere affordable and interesting Gold Coast is your next stop!

This is quite a humble museum, is it Frost or Zoo standards, no, but you can tell people are doing what they can to preserve this history. It’s worth minimum one visit, to experience the different types of cars. I wish they didn’t charge additional fees for the particularly interesting things. I feel they would get more general admission if they didn’t. However, for families with little kids, there was more to do than I was expecting, and my almost 3 yr old didn’t want to leave, and was still asking to return. As a history enthusiast myself, and my mechanical minded husband enjoyed seeing the history, while keeping the little one busy.

Is small but is really good and filled with lot of nostalgic memorabilia. Nice people too. A wonderful experience.

Awesome museum for the whole family. Everything from butterfly exhibit/rainforest, to planetarium, to a rooftop with native plants, flowers, birds, and many other fun exhibits. Go--just go!
