   This place is just something else. My husband and I got married here last month. We had a brilliant time and the staff were just amazing, from the wonderful expertise of Belinda, to the wonderful drivers on the steamers on the day. The venue has such a magical feel to it when the sun goes down, and the golden hour shots are just amazing with the likes of 'Janice' in the background. I highly recommend this wonderful place as a venue! We have visited several times on their other special days and it never disappoints. The museum has some amazing pieces of history and plenty for little ones to do! With steam rides, a miniature railway and a great little cafe!

   A fantastic museum, run and looked after by very friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and interesting volunteers. The full site is sizeable, with a huge amount of exhibits both inside and outside. For the best experience a visit on one of the steaming days is highly recommended, but the café and shop are open most days and are a delight in themselves.

   Visited to see Wightwick Hall running on the Steam weekend. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Lots of engines to see around the site. Visited the museum, lots to see in there. Had a ride on the miniature railway. The cafe was very nice for lunch. Had a very enjoyable day here and well worth the drive from Sussex.

   We have been coming to the Railway centre for many years and have watched it get better and better. It is a must for any transport enthusiasts and especially train fans of course. Lots to see and do for all ages. Loads of historic info for adults and older children and plenty to do for little ones as well. Miniature train rides are a great addition. Plenty of food and drink on offer especially on event days. We came back for Auto Fest which was a classic vehicle event. Loads of interesting cars and vehicles attended and there was Live music and morris dancers. Great day out for families and people who like nostalgic days out.

   Fantastic day out, great value for money. Museum opens at 1030 and first train departs at 11am. Steam train ride lasts around 17minutes but you can do it as many times as you like. Museum well laid out and informative. Cafe reasonably priced £6 for 2 hot drinks, £5 for two ice creams.

   Quite a hidden gem but it’s hard to work out when it’s open or not! Their information on Google was wrong as compared to what is on their website. I would definitely recommend visiting their website. You can also only access the museum via Quainton as the road is currently closed. I think this stopped many people getting there. HOWEVER when you arrive it is very well put together for somewhere that is clearly ran by very enthusiastic volunteers. There is plenty going on for children and the exhibitions are very well organised and interesting.

   This was a fantastic experience. When you first arrive, it’s not immediately obvious that the museum is more than a couple of trains. But, when you go outside it’s clear that the museum is absolutely huge and full of loads of different types of trains, with plenty of buildings to look at. There’s something for everyone here, including a steam train that you can ride on, and a miniature railway which was absolutely charming. The food is pretty good too. The price of the tickets is definitely worth it. I’d recommend this for any railway enthusiasts!

   Been here twice now, once for Thomas day and once for a normal steam day. Neither disappointed.One small boy awed by big machinery and engines, played for an hour with train sets in the visitor centre, unlimited rides and a great miniature railway. The Thomas day was amazing with so much to do and on the normal steam day we stayed almost 6 hours without getting bored.

   Really good day out and the Children loved it. Amazing museum to walk around. Children enjoyed meeting the train drivers. The only slight down side was the train journey was very short. I'm sure it was longer when I was a child.
