School Tours

BRING YOUR STUDENTS TO THE MUSEUM!

The Nevada State Railroad Museum Boulder City offers your students a unique opportunity to interact with history. A school visit to the museum includes a guided or self-paced tour in the visitor center addressing Nevada K-12 standards on history, culture, science, engineering, and technology. Schools have the option of adding on a guided tour through the museum’s outdoor displays where students will have the opportunity to walk through historic rail cars and touch the past. Please note the museum campus is one-mile long with different displays spread across the campus. Museum staff work with instructors to ensure each tour is tailored to your curriculum, connecting classroom learning to our artifacts. Tours also include a presentation on railroad safety so that we all stay safe around railroads. The museum has outdoor picnic areas on the west side of our campus adjacent to Yucca Street available for use.

Museum admission is free for children and $5 for adults. Train rides are available upon request for a fee of $750. Tours are offered on Thursdays and Fridays only.
