2021 Winter Holiday Train

After the hustle and bustle of the season, take the week between the holidays to provide time to get out of the house for some family fun.  Winter Holiday Train Rides give families a great opportunity to visit the N.C. Transportation Museum, browse the exhibits, spend time inside the museum’s Gift Station and enjoy a 25-minute train ride around this State Historic Site. 

KIDS UNDER 3 ARE FREE AND DO NOT REQUIRE A TICKET. MEMBERS ARE FREE, BUT ARE ENCOURAGED TO RESERVE TICKETS IN ADVANCE USING THEIR MEMBERSHIP NUMBER.

Your print-at-home or mobile ticket is for general admission and a train ride at the NC Transportation Museum, the Museum That Moves You!

Given the continued threat of COVID-19 and variants of the virus, face masks are required for indoor areas of the N.C. Transportation Museum, including on trains. Failure to comply may result in denial of boarding or removal. Children under the age of two and individuals with disabilities who cannot wear a mask, or cannot safely wear a mask because of disability, as defined by the Americans with Disability Act are exempt. Advanced purchasing is strongly encouraged for the train ride due to capacity limitations.

The museum is walking intensive and involves entering and exiting several buildings and outside areas. Visitors with mobility issues are encouraged to bring their own wheelchairs, walkers, etc., as required.  One car of the train is equipped for ADA accessibility including two wheelchair spaces and the availability of a wheelchair lift.  The other cars on the train are not ADA accessible due to the vintage nature of their construction.
