A very friendly male security guard who meets at the turnstiles. The exposition is large, you can enter some locomotives, I especially liked TE3. There is a working layout in the exhibition pavilion, there is a cafe and a toilet. Admission is 6 rubles.
A large number of steam locomotives, which is unique for railway museums of the former USSR, many locomotives have access to cabins for visitors, I recommend visiting

For fans of railway equipment) For general information, it is also interesting, I really liked the museum inside) I would like to add the opportunity to walk inside the wagons.
I really liked the museum! It is interesting to see how the trains changed and how many types there were! And the museum is a delight at all, the miniatures of the main stations and the mini railway impressed the children)

In addition to the fact that there are quite a lot of copies in the museum, which have already been written about here, I will note the pleasant impressions of communicating with the staff (unfortunately, I did not look at the badge, it was a girl at the entrance, with black hair). Despite the fact that the ticket office was closed for a short break, they found a way to fly in and let them in without waiting. And moreover, they offered to take the helmets away during the inspection of the exhibits. Which would really stay in your hands and get in the way. It turned out to be very useful! (An employee deserves an increased bonus for such an attitude! - the face of the museum, a good mood is already at the entrance)
The exhibits themselves are sometimes presented in an "anatomical section".
You can only look in and climb up to where wooden ladders are attached. There weren't many such exhibits.
The exhibition is informative. It was interesting even to me, not an expert.
I really want to climb into the cabin of the locomotive and sit in the reserved compartment of the car, and also take a shovel and throw coal into the furnace.
The museum has deteriorated. Previously, diesel locomotives and steam locomotives were open, you could climb into them. Now you walk between them like you're walking through a train station.
A very compact and interesting museum! Samples of locomotives, passenger and freight cars have been collected in the open air for a period of almost 100 years! There are samples of narrow-gauge equipment. In the cabins of some locomotives, you can not only look through the glass by climbing a convenient wooden ladder, but also go inside and feel like a machinist / stoker / ... !!! The children will be delighted! :) Next to each exhibit there is a plaque with a brief history of creation and basic technical characteristics. There are even steam locomotives with a partially opened hull, which allows you to clearly and clearly explain the principle of operation of a steam locomotive! In addition, samples of switches, semaphores, etc. have been collected.
A small exhibition inside the building introduces the history of the construction and use of railways in Belarus from the time of the Russian Empire to the present day. Those interested in history will find in the exhibition a lot of old photos of railway stations, trains and people who created railways and worked for them, interesting documents are on display. There is a working railway layout with two trains, a station, bridges, tunnels, arrows, traffic lights!
The selection of souvenirs in the shop is weak. For example, it would be possible to offer visitors to purchase at least reproductions of pre-revolutionary postcards with views of railway stations, steam locomotives and trains on Belarusian railways. In a more advanced version, it would be possible to negotiate with collectors of pre-revolutionary postcards on the subject of railway. to exhibit temporary exhibitions from their collections and offer something for sale.
Overall, the impression is excellent! I recommend everyone to visit the museum. Moreover, it is located very close to the entrance to the Brest fortress.
The museum is just super. 3 open locomotives.(2 steam locomotives. 1 diesel locomotive) Children's ticket — 4 rubles. There is an exhibition of models of trains in scale.
Review dated February 27, 2022
Yesterday I visited this museum for free, I have a second disability group. I really liked the exposition. There are diesel locomotives and steam locomotives in which the internal structure is visible. There is an exhibition pavilion with a shop. I liked the automatic toy railway. Parking is convenient. Not very far from Lenin Street.
Earlier review:
Maybe I was there once, the museum is very spectacular, probably rolling stock was collected from all over the railway. It's a pity that I don't have money for a ticket, although I live near the museum. Bus 17 from Masherov Avenue and bus 5 from Mickiewicz are coming to him. Also minibuses. You need to ask about them additionally.
I didn't like it, even for 7 rubles
You can't look at the cars from the inside, only 2 driver cabins are open and that's it. 😕
There is a cafe and a small museum.
A great museum, very interesting for both children and adults. The child sat / steered in each locomotive open for study))) We were here 10 years ago, during these years two steam locomotives with open "insides" and a museum building appeared, where an interesting exposition is on display. And also very modern is the presence of a cafe! The only thing I would like is that souvenirs in the form of small trains or trailers would be available. And so everything is 10 points, I recommend visiting if you are in Brest.
A super place, especially for children! There are a large number of copies, there are those that you can enter and feel like a machinist. The children were delighted, both boys and girls), there is a museum on site, a cafe.
When I visit Brest, we always come here. An interesting exposition, there are several open wagons, to feel, to climb. An indoor museum with models and descriptions of the history of the railway. Both children and adults remain delighted
I recommend
An interesting museum, look at steam locomotives, steam locomotives from old wires to almost new locomotives are shown, my son really liked this museum, you can even sit in the cabin of a steam locomotive there
As a child, I wanted to be a machinist. But it didn't work out. This year I was able to feel like not only a locomotive driver, but also a steam locomotive. A good collection of steam locomotives, several diesel locomotives and wagons. A live story. The children were also delighted. And I will make a childhood dream come true
Cool trains, but if you go without a tour, then there is no way to figure out what to watch first, plus detailed information about each train is only on the electronic scoreboard in a small pavilion in the building, and you will find out about this only after you have watched all the trains on the street.
It would be interesting to get into all the trains, many are closed, those that are not allowed to get on the tour because of the children who are brought on the tour
This is the place in Brest that you need to visit with children. There are many different trains, some you can climb on. Everyone will like the layout of the railway in the pavilion. I advise you to visit!
A cool museum! There are a lot of locomotives, you can look into some, even go into the driver's cabin in a couple. We were wondering what to say about the children who were there. I recommend 100%
There are a lot of interesting, diverse techniques, you can go to some. Various thematic expositions. An interesting exhibition hall in the pavilion, with current models of the train. Those who are tired can relax and have a snack in the cafe. The staff is polite and friendly.
A very interesting museum, a lot of trains, there is a mini cafe in the building. The only disadvantage is that there are few trains that you can enter.
There would be nothing, but I would like to get inside these very locomotives and wagons. But unfortunately everything is closed, apparently from vandals.
