Known forrailwaysheritagefamily-friendlyoutdoor
Spread across 10 acres, this is one of the finest railway museums in Asia, displaying over 100 locomotives and carriages including the Fairy Queen — the world's oldest working steam engine — and the opulent saloon carriages of Indian maharajas. A narrow-gauge joy train runs circuits of the grounds, making it genuinely fun for all ages. The outdoor exhibits can feel weathered and some signage is dated, but the sheer scale and historical depth are unmatched. Arrive early on weekends to avoid school groups.
