Railway museum & cultural center with train cars, photographs & other historic artifacts on display.
Our first day in Guatemala City was a Sunday and not too much is open, so decided to go check out the train museum. It was incredible to walk on the trains and experience the history. You can also actually use the old telephones on the walk way and talk to the wfh other, simulating how folks used to phone each other in the old times.If you have an hour or so to kill, definitely a good time
Pasar un momento agradable en el museo es una buena opción, hay un cajero en la entrada, cuenta con estacionamiento en la parte trasera, pero le falta una cafetería y limpieza en los baños, cobran Q.15.00 por persona.
Me encantó el lugar, la entrada está a Q15 por persona, se pueden subir a varios vagones y hay gente bastante amable que explica cosas sobre el lugar e historia, también hay un mini museo dentro que está muy excelente, tiene varias antigüedades y fotos sobre diversas vías!El museo cuenta con baños y diversas áreas para caminar y ver!Bonito lugar para distraerse un poco :)
El mejor museo. Puede irse restaurando, es precioso, tiene mucho potencial.
Bonita experiencia para salir de lo común y conocer como era la movilización en tren. Lastima que el recorrido que se puede hacer en tren es corto, pero dicen que lo quieren ampliar.
First there is no place to buy ticket online also Google said it was open on a Sunday till 4pm. We got there around 2:15pm and the man at the gate said it was closed and they would be open on Tuesday. My advise is to update the hours. The 1star is for the lack of accurate information on the www
Un bonito lugar para conocer parte de la historia de Guatemala, también ofrecen un recorrido genial, ideal para llevar a tus abuelitos o padres para pegarles en la nostalgia! La entrada cuesta 15 quetzales y el recorrido 10 quetzales
Hay una actividad muy linda para dar un paseo, vale la pena, todo el personal es super amable desde que compras el boleto hasta que sales!!!Mucha historia vale l pena el recorrido.
Excellent place well maintained railway musium
Waited like 15 minutes to enter although it was only a couple ahead of us.Place is dirty it seems they don’t have the funds or the staff to clean the space.Bathrooms are somehow clean.Didn’t stayed longer than 30 minutes as there’s no tour guides and some wagons can be visited only with tour guides
Muy bonito lugar, horarios de martes a domingo de 10 a 4 pm, posee parqueo, el costo de Q15 adultos Q5 niños, Q10 parqueo
The museum was interesting and a cool stop but no tour guides available due to government funds. They do allow a walk through the train cabins.
Hermoso lugar para que lo visites con toda tu familia ame
Un bonito lugar, de mucha historia, el único problema que fuimos domingo y no se veía que hubiera alguien que nos diera algún tour, y al parecer si hacen alguno. Un lugar accesible en la ciudad, si llevas vehículo el parqueo está atrás en un portón celeste, tuvimos que dar dos vueltas que no lo encontrábamos.
Un museo muy interesante, muy bonito; pero los encargados no están pendientes de los vagones y muchas personas abren vagones sin permiso. También podría estar más limpio. Creo que los trabajadores podrían dedicarse más al museo. Deberían enmarcar las fotos de los pilotos, porque las tienen en un estante. En fin, sí lo recomiendo.
Interesting place to spend a few hours. We paid Q15/person. Only confusing part was figuring out the exit since we didnt stick with the tour.
La verdad que el Museo es una joya de historia de Guatemala, está llena de datos y artículos llenos de magia con cada relato de los que trabajan allí.El lugar está impecablemente limpio y ordenado, el área de parqueo es grande y ordenada, solo son Q10.00 por tiempo ilimitado.Italo, la persona que acompaña el recorrido es súper agradable y las anécdotas son muy buenas.El área está perfecta para todas las fotos que se puedan tomar, tienen salón para eventos, auditorio, baños en perfecto estado.Los invito a que lo visiten, es un dinero bien invertido por la linda experiencia
Excelente!!! Felicitaciones por el recorrido de hoy. Asistí con mi nieto y hasta una entrevista nos hicieron y compartieron. Muchísimas gracias.Sigan adelante ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
El tour muy interesante y bien explicado el costo de ingreso es de Q 10 por niños y Q15 por adulto
Went on a date here, the history of guatemala through its railways is truly fascinating!
Ya know, I didn’t come to Guatemala to visit the train museum, but I found myself on Friday at 2pm thinking: I don’t want to start drinking but I want to do something, so I ended up here. It’s actually super well done and entrance comes with a free super-knowledgeable guide. 15Q for nationals and 30Q for extranjeros.With the tour and a little wandering of the museum we spent 1.5 hours here. Definitely recommend.
Rich Historic site from to the early 1900. For train lovers!
Interesting
First thank you to all the employees for making me feel safe and welcome. As a tourists they were nice enough to translate and give me a great tour through the history of the railway in Guatemala but also some Guatemalan history. I still cant believe it was only 25yrs since the trains stopped running. This was a great place to visit and learn. A must see for any train lover.
Nice place for those who like trains
The tour is well worth it, nice collection of antique steamers and diesels locomotives Locals pay 10Q and tourists 30Q.
I realy loved it
Well worth the 2 quetzals admission!
A little gem to travel around the old times in guatemala
Great
I was not bad, but you will get bored very easily, plus there seems to be an unspoken rule about not been able to take pictures to the wagons with a camera unless you pay $200 Quetzales, just your cell phone. I understand that in most Museums you have to pay to take pictures but they tell you in advance. The people there are rude and not pleasant. I do not recommend to visit more than once and 1-hour max.
This was a lovely, interesting suprise in the city alongside a vibrant market. This would have been a spectacular way to see Guatemala, bring the trains back!!
Beautiful.
History
Nice place!
A really neat place to visit, especially since Guatemala does not have trains running anymore
Back to the past
Well worth a visit if you like trains.
This place is kind of small but have a lot to show love it all this memories took me back to my childhood times
First of I want to thank our tour guide Julien, he was very knowledgeable and took time to answer many questions that we had. We spend at least 2 hours here and were very engage. The railroad history of Guatemala is fascinating. Also great pictures to take .staff is great and entrance is affordable. Even if you dont speak spanish, definately check this gem out.
Nice little museum - worth the Q2 entrance fee just to see the military relief map of Guatemala just inside the hall to understand how the lowlands and mountains contrast.
Needs more locomotives in exhibition. They have a lot of boring model trains, and only few real locomotives to see. Its a pitty because they have a lot in.storage, but visitors cant see them. Was a disappointing visit to be.
It is an amazing place !
Interesting small museum, you can learn history of Guatemala railway here and reasons why railway was closed. You can spend no more than one hour here.
Its historical.
App good
Nice museum
Nice museum to spend a lovely afternoon.
Good history can use some investment
If you have any interest in the "golden age" of Guatemala, then this place is surprisingly interesting. Some great historic relics.
