Group Information
Come One, Come All!
So much to see, so much to do, and lots more fun with a group! Schedule a school, homeschool, summer camp, civic or senior group for a day out at the Museum That Moves You!
K-12 School Groups and Educational Institutions (Public and Private) are encouraged to schedule for a Group Activity Day visit here at the N.C. Transportation Museum. Group activities are available on most weekdays (excluding special event days) throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall (March 1 – October 31). During a Group Activity Day visit, participants of all ages can engage with several unique hands-on NC DPI objective aligned activity stations. Summer Camps, Scouting Troops, Church Youth Organizations, and all other educational or recreational groups are also invited to join in on the fun! Please see our FAQ page for more details!
Adult and Senior Groups can request a guided tour that can be tailored to fit specific areas of interest. We have several buildings and private railcars at the museum that are available for visitors to engage with during a guided experience.
The museum offers Train Rides pulled by a vintage diesel locomotive on select days during the year. The ride takes place entirely on the property of the 60-acre North Carolina Transportation Museum and offers a tour of the historic site by train. Train rides last approximately 25 minutes and can be added to all group visits for an additional cost (based on availability). Please see our FAQ page to view our Train Ride Schedule.
