Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

We invite you to come visit the National Museum of Transportation! Full of photographic opportunities, historic artifacts, model trains and aircraft, the first F/A-18 E1 Super Hornet, and a Virgin Hyperloop Pegasus pod from the Smithsonian, the Museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. TNMOT is primarily an outdoor facility.

Our knowledgeable tour guides are available in the Earl C. Lindburg Automobile Center to answer your questions about our vintage vehicles. Public guided tours are available at 10 a.m. each open day, weather permitting, no reservation required. Much of our extensive 70-piece locomotive collection is covered under the Roberts Pavilion, plus more nearby, for safe exploring. A tour guide is on hand at the pavilion ready to reply to your inquiries.
