West Virginia is full of so many unique, fun, fascinating places just waiting to be discovered. And one we especially love is tucked away in a magnificent old building in Wheeling: the Kruger Toy and Train Museum. Have you stumbled across it yet? If not, it’s about time you did!
Old-fashioned fun is waiting for you in Wheeling, West Virginia at the Kruger Street Toy and Train Museum on... you guessed it... Kruger Street!
Exhibits include rooms overflowing with dolls, games, Legos, miniature toys, transportation items, and many, many more toys... and of course, plenty of toy trains.
As you're racing through these fun displays, be on the lookout for Loo, the museum's friendly cat who frequently sports a bow-tie and always loves to greet visitors!
And it's not just the inside that children of all ages love; it's the outside as well. Meet the museum's famous, hundred-year-old Sunshine Caboose, which stands proudly in the yard of the museum, brightening the faces of many a train-lover that passes by!
Tickets to see the museum are $9 to $12 for adults and $6 for students. Discounts are available for school groups and special needs groups. Yearly memberships are also available for those who plan to come play regularly, including Individual, Family, and Grandparent Membership options.
