Outstanding display of trains, cars, some planes, some watercraft, and child friendly
The National Museum of Transportation的点评
点评:We visited The National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri, on Thursday, September 26, 2024. The parking is free, clean, well maintained, and spacious. Admission costs were reasonable. There are a few airplanes, a few watercraft, plenty of trucks & cars, and lots train stuff. The signage is overall good. I do have issues. The Douglas C-47A is the Skytrain in U.S. service and the Dakota in the service of the U.K. The Museum has it labeled by its nickname – The Gooney Bird. While they tell you who made the locomotive and many facts about it, they do not tell you the model, such as EMD GP-7 or GP-38.
The Museum is child friendly with numerous displays specifically set up for those “of lesser years.” We enjoyed walking the Storybook Trail. The handcar attraction was not “equipped” during our visit. The small scale railroad was operating, at an additional fee. If we had not been time critical we would have ridden it. The trolley was free, asking for donations, was tikes might enjoy it for the fun and a place to sit for a while.
We spent about four and a half hours there and took over 500 photos during our visit. Plan on walking a lot and have sun or weather protection. You can traipse through the rail yard and barns so wear shoes that allow walking on crushed rock – rail bedding, as well as shoes that allow you to step over rails and other obstacles.
We really enjoyed this museum and recommend putting it in your vacation planning.
Thanks,
Rex
翻译:我们于 2024 年 9 月 26 日星期四参观了密苏里州圣路易斯的国家交通博物馆。停车场免费、干净、维护良好且宽敞。门票价格合理。有几架飞机、几艘船只、大量卡车和汽车以及许多火车用品。标牌总体不错。我确实有问题。道格拉斯 C-47A 是美国服务的空中列车,达科他州是英国服务的空中列车。博物馆用它的昵称标记了它——The Gooney Bird。虽然他们会告诉你谁制造了机车以及许多关于它的事实,但他们不会告诉你型号,例如 EMD GP-7 或 GP-38。
博物馆对儿童很友好,有许多专门为“年纪较小”的人设置的展览。我们喜欢走在故事书小径上。在我们参观期间,手推车景点没有“配备”。小型铁路正在运营,需要额外付费。如果我们不是时间紧迫,我们会乘坐它。电车是免费的,需要捐款,孩子们可能会喜欢它的乐趣和坐一会儿的地方。
我们在那里呆了大约四个半小时,在参观期间拍了 500 多张照片。计划多走路,并做好防晒或防风雨的准备。你可以穿过铁路场和谷仓,所以要穿能在碎石上行走的鞋子——铁轨床,以及能让你跨过铁轨和其他障碍物的鞋子。
我们真的很喜欢这个博物馆,建议把它列入你的假期计划中。
谢谢,
