(Translated) The museum itself was closed. But the outdoor exhibits were admirable. The railway cars are in relatively poor condition and often repaired only in a makeshift manner. I think it is difficult and time-consuming to invest the funds and time. But I would have been reluctant to pay for what was to be seen. Hard but honest opinion ... (Original) Das Museum selbst war zu. Aber die Außen-Exponate waren zu bewundern. Die Eisenbahnwagen sind in einem relativ schlechten Zustand und oft nur notdürftig repariert. Ich denke mir, dass es schwierig und aufwändig ist, die Mittel und Zeit zu investieren. Aber ich hätte für das, was zu sehen war, nur ungern Geld bezahlt. Harte, aber ehrliche Meinung...

Corrine Donovan

Amazing experience. Everyone was pleasent. disinfectant stations were everywhere and Covid warnings were placed in easy viewing. Will definitely come back! Quick museum trip but lots of things to see!

Michael Hebert

Fun stop on your way to Hopewell Rocks. If you have time definitely check it out.

Tony Bercowski

Pulled in to get an icecream down the hill from this museum. Had hoped to buy an icecream but that shop was closed. Took my number one dog, Jack, for a walk up the hill to check out their displays while my wife and number two dog, Shyla, stayed in the car. It was when we started to go into the first building that attendants let us know we'd have to buy a ticket, way over at the entrance, to go into any buildings. Continued to check out the various outdoor displays on our trip over. Finally, reaching my wife where she moved and parked the car, we hopped into it and drove home. It was a long day of walking and site seeing that we agreed to come back to this site some other day.

Laura Tucker

Closed now. Will open soon for the season. Very interesting part of Hillsborough's Heritage. A must see.

Brucio Wilbur

There is a big hole in the walkway and i twisted my ankle

Robert Wolf

Useless stop. A couple of old run down train carriages. Drive right bye.

Ashley McLean

Took my 3 kids to Fundy National park and on our way out decided to check out the NB Railway Museum! A bit pricey for entrance, but the kids LOVED climbing on and through the old trains! Memories that will last forever ????

Amy Clowater

My son just loved looking at this plane.

Crystal Cromwell

It was awesome-you get to board the trains and look around and play with railroad items, fantastic visit.

bill white

Some interesting stuff

Great staff! Interesting place. Wisiting this Railway was like taking a travel back in time. Never guessed I would find trains so remarkably incredible!

Ryan Nelson

Some very old train cars that you can expect. A history of the area.

Edwin Velez (Eddy)

Simple and easy to go around

Loren Gray

Really neat place, very unexpected detour that was well wroth it.

Pablo Montreuil

Now a family tradition. We stop and picnic at the museum on our way to Fundy National park

Alina M

Lots of history here, it's to bad the trestle is gone

Alkizzy Balangue

Great place

Ron Mosocco

We stopped in here while vacationing and staying in the area last year. Unfortunately the Museum was closed when we visited but were still able to walk to Museum's grounds and observe the numerous trains and railroad cars. They even have a retired Air Force jet on the premise. Worth your while and sure to be a kid pleaser. Should be worth the admittance fee.

Kevin Bennett

There is a jet at the rail way museum

Brian Neil

Really great soft serve ice cream options

Nico Vyhnis

Pretty cool and interesting to see. You can go inside every single train, touch the buttons and take as many pictures as you want. Was fun experience

Awesome Amber

Denis Pankov

Brian Neufeld

Marie-Germaine Sealy

Nice

Manjinder Singh

Its a good place. Worth families’ visit. Great antique rare CN collection. Museum drives you through Canada’s old rail network, equipments, operation system. They got some luxury old passenger rail cars. An old steam engine.

Nadine Azer

Great collection of old trains! Kids love it!

Eric Goulet

I can go inside the train of many ages! They are many tools and equipments used exposed with explanation for train maintenance and operation. I wish it have more information about each train section like construction year and how much time it be in operation.

fred bolt

Great history there fun place

Rob Faucher

Nobody available for a tour despite being open.

Rene Desjardins

Nice place.

Miriam Davydov

(Translated) Great place: you can get on trains that have been refurbished in the original state. There are signs everywhere that tell the story of each car. Really a great experience at a price more than affordable. (Original) Superbe endroit : on peut monter dans les trains qui ont été remis à neuf dans l'état d'origine. Il y a des pancartes un peu partout qui donnent l'histoire de chacun des wagons. Vraiment une belle expérience à un prix plus qu'abordable.

Old MacFarlane Farm

Love it

Drew Vai

Cute exhibition with some very nice engines and original cars. it's a bit pricey for what out has to offer but if you or your kids are into trains ahs you happen to pass by (maybe on your way back from Hopewell) you might want to spend an hour learning a bit more about trains.

Chris Y'Boy

Small museum, but really worth a visit! You can climb in real rolling stock, and interact with the exhibits. Staff very friendly and great with the kids. Watch out for the piles of poop in the big shed though!

Villagemayor

An honest last minute find. Driving from Moncton to the Fundy coast, I stumbled upon this museum. Lots of old rolling stock including a firefighting tank. Super rare, I had never seen many of these historic train sets before. There are picnic tables where you can dine next to the trains. The train station has been preserved. The museum comes recommended.

moon_light406

It was very fu

Travis Mackenzie

Great museum, tons of amazing pieces saved from days gone by. Cool exploring the train cars!

Escape Pilot

Good basic food, nothing fancy

Todd F

Unfortunately during our visit half of it was closed up due to renovations and covid. But what was open was sardine and although the staff was young they were extremely knowledgeable of what they were presenting. Great attitudes and personalities.

Lisa-Mae MacDonald

We go every year. Lots of cool things to look at. Love being able to go inside the trains in the shed.

Carol Pealow

Fun

Dawne Valerie Boorne

Great experience. Only downfall was the lack of a debit machine, but it was early in the season.

John Jay Lefrancois

Awesome place. Nice and organized

Ethan Smith

Came acorss this by accident on our drive to Hopewell Rocks. It was closed when we stopped by so I didn't get to go in but I LOVE trains so I walked around a little anyway. Awesome place! It would be 5 stars had it been open but that was my fault, not the museums. :)

Zubair Raja

Kids loved it..

Gregory Danson

My family had a wonderful time there. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We only went to kill time while waiting for the tide at Hopewell Rocks, but it ended up being the highlight of our trip. Unlike other museums where everything is protected by a velvet rope, you were encouraged to climb around and touch things. I highly recommend making this a stop on your trip to Hopewell.

Beth McAllister

Very nice museum

Jessica Trapani

Cool spot to stop! Neat opportunity to see and learn about some of the NB railway history

Timothy Steeves

Great historical site and info but was so much better when the operational steam engine had rides and dining.

Lori Hann

Was nice

Rachel Davies

A fabulous find on a long journey. Plenty of trains to not only look at and admire but also climb on aboard. Lots of history and interesting information plus the volunteers here have so much passion for the trains and really know their stuff. Plus they are more than happy to chat and tell you all about the exhibits. A great place to look around.

Ricardo F

Great museum! Lots, I mean LOTS of pieces, old and new throughout time. The kids loved! Not so much the dark train at the corner of one of the warehouses as it was kind of dark already and the train is black haha. Nice trains where you can see how it was back on the days. They also have the station panels where they organized which train would go where, from different generations, really nice.

Joel Gallant

While I have never taken part of the tour, we have visited the trains outside and there are so many awesome sights to see! Definitely worth the visit!

Micah

Pretty cool place to go because there is a lot of old stuff here, There is a spot with old railway switches and stuff that you can touch. A lot of things are very hands on here. Then there are trains you can enter at the entrance but the ones at the back are better because there's more variety in them and also has old disle electric engines that you can get on.

Pat Ling

Unless you’re a railway buff it may not be of much interest

Kathars1s

Very nice little spot

Joshua Sainz

Very neat place

Lucy Goguen (Scry Solutions)

Hillsborough is an artistic farm village set halfway between Moncton and Alma. You will see a variety of cafes and shops along the way from artisans selling unique and yummy finds! The scenery is spectacular and don't forget to take in the old cars during the week that gather at various locations! Thanks to the fire department for managing this year's spectacular fireworks display!

Tracy Chase

Great place

Joey Mitchell

If your looking for great or even good food, try some place else. We ordered "ginger" duck and some kind of pork noodles, sad! The spring rolls were ok though I guess. Even the water tasted terrible.

Alexandre Pellerin

(Translated) Great place for dinner, you have access to all cars and it is free, there are gift boxes. Nice activity for children. (Original) Super endroit pour dinner, vous avez acces a tout les wagons et c est gratuit, il y a des boites de donations. Belle activité pour les enfant.

Tricia Hitchens

A piece of railway history that should be part of a day trip or family holiday

Julz Marriott

Good museum

Aaron Quesnel

This was a great find! The gentleman who helped us was such a nice old guy and so knowledgeable, we learned a hell of a lot about trains! Almost a personal tour! Some amazing train cars too, early 1900's locomotive and a 1914 first class car that was restored to an epic state. Stop by, learn, explore and support. Well-done guys!!

Jean Bonenfant

(Translated) Super beautiful and great fun (Original) Super beau et très amusant

Brian Brooks

Hope to volunteer here.

A K

Many young adults were helping before the school starts again.

Stephanie

We lucked out and happened to be visiting when all the museums had free admittance. I had a leg injury though and had to sit out of a lot of the ones way in the back because there werent any benches around for me to rest on. My husband and I loved being able to also ride on the rails.

Scott Robichaud

Very interesting

The museum was nice. We took pictures of the plane and water tower. Next to the water tower is a dirt road that goes down by the water.

Phil Couture

(Translated) It's impressive because the structures are impressive. But it's sad that no maintenance is done on the devices. (Original) C'est impressionnant parce que les structures sont impressionnantes. Mais c'est désolant qu'aucun entretien n'est fait sur les appareils.

Red Joy

It is one of three best I have seen. They have the only snow plough left in Canada. Bring the trains back!!!

Jamie Terry

Well worth the stop

cheryl neil

Nice people.

david fownes

Great place and good info

Rob Einarson

They are doing a great job of preserving our RAILWAY history. You need several hours to really see all the artifacts that there.

Neil Papke

We stopped here at the information center, & there was all this gorgeous scenery, had to get a photo of it

Molly L. W.

The restoration of these trains are not up to par.

Natasha Horn

Lovely set of women that we dealt with. Super informative!

Alan Curboy

Nice little museum in back with interesting items

Shelley Taylor

Unfortunately, it was closed the day we went through. Just seeing all the various artifacts from afar was impressive. Definately will be coming back next summer.

Sham T

Closed for the winter. Saw this plane near the museum but no signs as to why it was there

Michel Brière

(Translated) A lot of information (Original) Beaucoup d'informations

Great roadside stop!

(Translated) Small holiday stop to amuse the children. There is a playground and WC. There are many beautiful old houses in the village. (Original) Petit arrêt de vacances pour amuser les enfants. Il y a un aire de jeux et WC. Il y a beaucoup des vieilles belles maisons dans le village.

Lorraine Gallant

Delicious meal, and plenty of it. Very friendly server.

Catherine Tait

I love Moncton New Brunswick very much I was raised in Moncton and it will always be my home

Deidre Butler

What a great find! Entry fee for one adult and a child was 6$ which is a bargain for this surprisingly extensive, hands on train museum. Our son was able to blow a horn, ring a bell, and climb into cabs of locomotives and track cars. Double headed snow plow, a Jordan spreader, a Big Hook, and several heavy weight passenger cars are all points of interest for train buffs. An HO layout inside a heavyweight baggage car was also a hit. This is a lived in train museum, not a pristine shiny one - which is the appeal when kids can climb all over the trains and enjoy. Bathrooms on site, not as clean as you’d hope.

Ron Dyck

Disappointed. Was closed. Signs said hours of operation and no one there

Ron B

Cool

Carla Leach

Alot of history of the area

jeanette douglas

Great locomotives, a park, washrooms and pond.

Bobbie Jo Thompson

Fun learning experience for everyone

2 steeves

Awesome museum

Melody Layton

Come visit the Hillsborough Railroad. Enjoy the History of our small village.

Erin Jones

We always make this trip once or twice a year and everytime there is something new for the kids to explore. They love seeing all the old suitcases and how people travelled. It is a wonderful few hours spent in our days.

Deborah Shier

Lots of good history

patricia smith

It's a very nice place to go and take in some beautiful sights

Lorne Keith

Interesting trains, museum was closed, would be worth a visit when open

Dale Mowbray

The kid's from Wee had a great time

Rene Cormier

The old man that works there is cool lol
