About Northwest Railway Museum

The Northwest Railway Museum is Washington’s largest railroad museum and heritage railway, spanning multiple campuses with a working 5.5-mile track. With historic passenger cars for seating, engaging exhibits, and seasonal events like Day Out With Thomas and holiday trains, it’s a classic rail adventure for families and rail enthusiasts alike. The museum operates from two main campuses in Snoqualmie and a depot in North Bend, inviting visitors to step back into the golden age of railroading while enjoying modern accessibility and family-friendly activities.

Plan your visit with confidence: we’ve got you covered on parking, transit options, nearby hotel stays, and recommended dining. Secure your seats and experiences through trusted partners and check event-specific details for each departure location.

Hours vary by location and event. The Snoqualmie Depot is typically open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while the Railway History Campus operates most Fridays through Mondays from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Departure points and check-in procedures differ by event, so please confirm the exact schedule for the date you plan to visit. For a complete rail experience, consider visiting both the Snoqualmie and North Bend campuses, including seasonal programs like Santa Trains, Yuletide Express, and Railroad Days in downtown Snoqualmie.

Seating is provided by historic rail cars rather than a fixed seating chart. Some events assign seats by time or group, so arrive a bit early to secure preferred seating for your party. Parking is available at both campuses, with ADA spaces at the Railway History Campus. For convenient travel, the Snoqualmie Valley Transportation network connects nearby towns with Metro bus stops, making it easier to reach the museum without special arrangements. When staying nearby, the Salish Lodge & Spa and Snoqualmie Inn offer comfortable options with easy access to the museums.
