Reviews
very cool experience. the barn itself had a wait to get in. it can move slowly because there are people that will look at and read every single information card. i loved the model of natures wonderland and how disneyland looked back then in that area. the people working there are very nice and knowledge. i went today for a book signing with becky cline and i’ve wanted to go for years. i’ve also been dying for some merch to look at.. there’s nothing online to look at or buy. i took pictures so people have an idea of what there is to purchase. there are no real bathrooms.. just portable toilets really. that’s not ideal but better than nothing i guess?
Absolutely incredible. True Walt fans will love this! The volunteers were super friendly and helpful. Lots of fun history and cool stuff to see. Such a fun day!
Great place to learn some history and see some great artifacts of Walt’s.
This place is run by volunteers. Everyone was very knowledgeable and friendly. It’s opened to the public once a month, check out their calendar for dates. They do check covid vaccine cards. The parking is free and admission is no cost. However, donations are welcomed! It takes about an hour to view everything. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
If you’re a train lover, this is the spot. A great piece of Walt Disneys history. Tells and shows the history of how DisneyLand became. It’s open 3rd Sunday of every month. A lot of Disney history here.
Only open one day a month but man is it awesome! Free admission! Free Parking! I would suggest a donation though as it is truly worth paying for. Even the souvenir prices are cheap! And some truly amazing Disney collectibles! If you love trains or Walt Disney, this is a must see place.
Sooo cute! Loved this place! Really enjoyed ridding the miniature train. Just a heads up, to enjoy all three attractions/museums in the area allow yourself around 3 hours. Also the Barn is only open the 3ird Sunday of each month. The miniature train ride is open every Sunday and the train museum is every day. Dogs are allowed, and everything is free except the train ride ($4)
🛤🚂🛤🚂 There was so much to see in such a tiny barn. This barn (relocated to the park in 1999) is also considered to be the where the beginning of WED (aka Walt Disney Imagineering) happened. There is also an original Disneyland railroad car and Santa Fe x Disneyland exhibit at the site. They do have a souvenir stand with a variety of Disney books and items for Disney history and park info. Admission and parking are free, and it is only open the third Sunday of each month. Lots of artifacts for Disney parks transportation fans to enjoy.
