That all depends on how detail oriented you get with investigating everything there's to see. If you wander through every barn and study the history & details (the Pullman collection is quite fascinating), that could take hours (1-2 at least). On the other hand, if you stay only on the outdoor paths and take them at a jog, figure a few minutes.

Yes, mostly. Mid-Continent is a railroad museum, focusing on the 1900-1920 period. While handicapped access was not a consideration in those days, Mid-Continent has made the equipment as accessible as possible without compromising historical integrity. Unfortunately, due to space limitations in the 1970's era car barn, there are no ramps, only stairs up to the viewing platforms. Our outdoor collection of steam locomotives and other equipment is accessible, however the display yard is unpaved and rather rough. The one hour train ride, however, is accessible and our brakemen and conductors are trained to operate a good chair lift for wheelchairs that allows access to the open platform coaches. And, of course, our depot, gift shop, restrooms and picnic pavilion are accessible. Mid-Continent is open weekends from Mother's Day until Memorial Day and then daily through Labor Day.
hi, I want to ask about the Mid-Continent Railway Museum, if we just go there to see the museum, but not ride on the train, is it ok? and how much would be the fee for visiting the museum? we are not sure if go to ride on the train or not, e.g. the snow train on Feb 14th, can we get there and just buy tickets before the train depart on that day or must we need to reserve it in advance online? thanks.

Mid-Continent is normally closed between October 30 and Mother's Day. We open only for Snow Train weekend, Feb. 14-15 in the winter. Snow Train is a celebration of traditional winter railroading back in the days of steam. While we currently have no operating steam locomotives, we do have a "power car" to provide steam to heat the train and the trip is very nostalgic through the rural winter landscape. Most of the restored collection is indoors, but in an unheated building and of course many of the displays are outdoors and not easily accessible if there is much snow on the ground. There is no charge for the museum.
Yes. A portable wheelchair lift is available at the North Freedom depot, allowing access to the train. There is no lift available at Quartzite Lake (the end...
