in Saint Louis, MO 63122about Museum of Transportation:
Trains, planes, and automobiles, indeed. More than seventy real locomotives are housed on the 150 acres of the Museum of Transportation; they're joined by planes, vintage cars, trolleys, and a river boat perched on dry land.
Many of the locomotives can be boarded to see the inner workings up-close. Make sure to catch a ride on the fully operational miniature train or the 1947 Philadelphia streetcar (both run on weekends).
Kids love Creation Station, a hands-on room chock full of toys and building sets related to transportation. It costs an extra $1.50 admission. Check the website for monthly themes and times the event is held.
The grounds are a great place to hold a birthday party. Younger children head to Creation Station; older kids get a pirate-themed party during which they participate in a treasure hunt around the grounds. Prices for the 90-minute parties include invitations and thank you notes, snack lunch, and goodie bags.

tips:
Board the cab of 5011 and pull the cord: You'll sound an impressive bell that can be heard throughout the park!
getting there:
From west I-44, I-70, or I-64 (US 40), turn onto I-270. From I-270 from north or south, exit at Dougherty Ferry Road (exit 8), go west about one mile to Barrett Station Road and turn left. The museum is on the right, a half mile up the road.
