If you're planning to check out the IMAX film, buy your tickets online ahead of time. They can sell out quickly, especially on weekends.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes! You'll be surprised how much walking you'll do, especially with all the cool exhibits to see.

Consider getting a membership if you think you'll visit more than twice a year. It saves money on admission and gives you discounts at the café and gift shop

If you're bringing kids, don’t miss the Discovery Zone! It’s super interactive and perfect for keeping them entertained while you enjoy the other exhibits.

My advice is to grab a map at the entrance; it really helps you navigate and find the exhibits you wanna see instead of wandering aimlessly.

I recommend visiting on a Thursday evening when they have free admissions, so you can save those bucks for souvenirs!

Plan to visit around 2 PM. It seems to be a quieter time, and we had a more intimate experience without being rushed by big groups.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The floors are a bit creaky and uneven, and you'll wanna explore every corner in this charming house!

When you visit, don't rush through the train car displays. Take time to read the descriptions. I skipped some and ended up missing out on interesting stories.

Pack a snack! The museum can be a bit overwhelming, and you might want to take breaks between all the exhibits. Plus, food nearby can be pricey.

my advice is to bring snacks! the food options can be pricey and limited, so packing a few snacks for the kiddos can save you some cash and keep them happy.

I suggest visiting right when the museum opens at 9 AM. It can get crowded quickly, and getting there early means you can enjoy the exhibits without the rush
