Surprisingly a very well maintained museum. Very clean, lot of greenery and tons of interesting artefacts, like the engines, coaches and of course the Maharani’s saloon.Can easily spend around 2 hours there. Very close to the railway station.The store in the museum has a lot of good souvenirs too.Great place to learn the history of trains.

This place is good to get insight of rich indian rail journey. Good exhibits for display. This place is not as big and as much exhibits compared to National Rail Museum at Delhi yet it has its own charm and knowledge to share with visitors. Definitely recommended to enjoy with kids. This place offers a two round toy train journey with cost already included in entry fee. This place also offers a cafe inside a train compartment.

This is my second visit to the railway museum and during Dasara time. There was not much rush, given we reached at around 11 am. After renovation this place is awesome. The place is well maintained, tidy and staff is very helpful. You can easily spent more than an hour and for sure your kids will enjoy their time. They have a joy train tide included in the ticket. They have converted one of the train into a small cafeteria that serves snacks and juices - Prices are slightly on a higher side but it’s ok given its inside the museum. There is a small park for kids to play around. Toilets are clean & well maintained. Adequate parking space available and they charge Rs. 30 for car parking. Please do visit the museum if you are in Mysore and especially if you are with kids.

Indian Railways history in a single place. Very clean and nicely maintained museum. The garden setting was awesome. A toy train ride is included in the entry ticket.Very nice place for a leisure evening.Kids enjoy this place very much.Tickets cost : Rs 50/- adult

Its a wonderful place, well maintained a must visit for all the train enthusiast and to anyone who would love to learn about the forgotten history of railways.Entry Ticket(Adult:50rupeesThere are many beautiful spots for taking pictures.The detailings that has gone behind building the Maharani Saloon was intriguing.It was a fascinating journey into the history and culture of our country

Museum is simple good. It is near the railway station, ticket costs around 50/- per head. We can get a ride on a toy train for once and the ride will be two rounds ,it would be nice. There are some earlier railway equipments in the museum to watch which now a days people may feel new. There is railway inside the museum but it was quite costly.

Clean and well maintained place. Great ambiance and doesnt give a stuffy feeling of museum.Can cover the place in 1 or 2 hours. Perfect to go with little kids. The back fence is adjacent to Mysore railway station pl. no. 6, so you can see a live train or two too if lucky.

There is a rail museum in Mysore. This place has been filled with general knowledge. The museum as many old trains , but has only one running train for tourists. We have to take a ticket in the beginning (entrance). And the lower portion of the same ticket is for the running train 😊. The waxed statues are like TTE ‘ Railway officer’s, luggage carrying man statues are very attractive. The main point is the museum is cafeteria is also in train 😀This is also one of the famous place to visit in Mysore.

👌👍Depicting the rich history and the progress of the 150-year-old Indian Railways, the ‘Mysuru Rail Museum’ set up in 1979, which was closed for a while for renovations and refurbishment, was inaugurated again on April 2020.The newly-renovated museum has a lot of added attractions including the ‘Rail Coach Cafe and Cafeteria’; an old railway coach which has been remodelled into a restaurant-style seating area where visitors can purchase snacks, other food items and beverages. Another attraction, especially for kids is a model Railway Station at the museum entrance named ‘Central Park’ with a model ticketing counter. The kids will be allowed to ride in a battery operated Toy Train on a round trip from this ‘Central Park’ station. En route, they will be greeted by a ‘Toy Band’ created from scrap materials by the staff of Mysore Workshop, a tunnel, model railway crossing and railway signals. Each gallery has a touch-screen monitor with information about the collections there and the history of these collections at the museum.👌👍

A world class rail museum in Mysore.While the artefacts could be a lot more, it has been built and maintained really well.Entrance fee: ₹50.It includes the toy train ride.There is a rail cafe as well which serves some snacks and coffee.Overall a great experience.The watchtower has no major view point to see. That was the only disappointment.Finally you can buy some good quality magnets from the souvenir shot at the museum.

A glimpse of Indian Railways history and technology which is now obsolete but is still fascinating. Be careful if you have infants or small kids as they do not allow any milk bottles, edibles, diaper bag etc to be carried inside. Charges for still camera are Rs. 500 !! Mobile phone is allowed free : ..You can enjoy the toy train ride. Good place to visit.

Nice place to kids. Can spend up to 1 hrs. Nothing to special. Inside the museum toy train ride is available. Toy train ticket is included with entrance ticket. And one train coach was modified as canteen. Overall suitable place for your kids.

Very well maintained museum..... And just mesmerizing exhibitions...... Worth visiting... Adjacent to the Main Railway Station, the museum was having ancient data regarding the pinnacle of Indian Railway.... Heavenly place especially for Railfans!

Wonderfully designed and a must visit for people of all ages. The museum has great exhibits, a toy train, beautiful open spaces. Bought back memories of younger days and the excitement around trains from past. Its India in a tiny nutshell and a place that will feel nostalgic of your younger days.

One of the best places to visit in Mysuru and very near to railway station. Has good, well maintained older steam based Engines and coaches at display. A toy train along with well maintained garden surrounds the Museum.

Absolutely lovely place. Probably the first place i am coming across that is disabled friendly too. All areas very well laid out, spic and span and has a lotnof engines to explore. Lots of memorabilia to enjoy too.The toy train ride was quite thrilling for all ages.

Very good place to see progress made by railways. They have a short toy train trip.. Historic Train couch of Mysore royal family is also at display here.Overall satisfied after visiting the place.Food is awesome too.Its very near to Mysore railway station.One drawback DSLR camera fees are high (Rs 500)

Entry tickets were cheap but they charge Rs.500/- for still cameras. Not worth paying it because the place is not so big with only few models and a toy train for kids. Cafe inside was very basic. The best feature is RK Laxmans common mans statue.. Overall a good place for kids...

I had visited it multiple time it is a good place if u are interested in history, loco motives and is a good way to teach children about trains. They also have a toy train ride. I think u need to pay additional to ride the train they have a souvenir shop.

A memorable place to visit with family and kids. The museum is beautifully maintained.There are tens of locomotives from multiple eras with their descriptions placed near them.
