ThelocaltripperAugust 2, 2015Can't believe this place doesn't have higher ratings! Great piece of history to check out with the family. First Saturday's are free and you can pay to ride an train!
Dont miss The Polar Express event! They put on an amazing show on the train and hot chocolate and cookies are included :) perfect holiday night with the family!
Compassion and courtesy goes out the door when one needs it most here. A good tip... Take an umbrella... You won't get a ride or a little extra time to leave when it rains... CLOSED IS CLOSED!
Chris GMarch 10, 2012Home of Ferdinand Magellan - U.S. Car No. 1, the first passenger railcar built for a President since the one made for Lincoln in 1865. It was used by FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, and briefly by Reagan.[
HISTORYApril 9, 2010The history of today's Gold Coast Railroad Museum is rather unique. The coming together of persons and events in a rare mix that helped shape today's premier railroad museum in the state of Florida.
Robert BurrFebruary 15, 2019The presidential rail car, the locomotives, the dining and club cars, the model trains, the gift shop.
Great Museum , lots of Naval Aviation and Railroad History here.- Jim DevittAugust 13, 2012Don't forget to check out the Ferdinand Magellan Presidential Pullman. One of a kind!
Goldcoast RailroadAugust 4, 2011Lot's of history here for lighter-than-air or "blimp" buffs. Home base to the only Navy airship lost to enemy fire during World War II.
