ALL ABOARD!
ALL Aboard provides complimentary admission to children in need. Working with our partner agencies, we support children who come from low income communities, are in foster care, and who are living with a medical condition.
At TNMOT, we are committed to expanding our reach and reaching those who may not be able to visit the Museum without assistance. ALL Aboard provides that assistance. Through ALL Aboard, area youth will visit the Museum, participate in our educational experience, and ride the miniature train free of charge. It’s a day they’ll remember for a lifetime!
ALL Aboard is presented by the Emerson Charitable Trust with support from the Union Pacific Foundation and Museum stakeholders. If you would like to sponsor a child’s visit for $8.50, please click here.
