Apart from the fact that the railway museum is free because it is a national museum, in the second hall they have all the old royal carriages which are very interesting to look at. There is also an interactive children's play room which the little one would like

We spent a full day at the Railway Museum just before Christmas. Little grandson aged 3 was mesmerised looking at all the trains- oops must call them engines. Obviously a bit of his grand dad's obsession has been passed on.Apart from that it has to be one of the best places to travel on a day trip as there is so much to look at.-jl

I love York, Stray. We've been there a number of times when we've visited the UK and I never get sick of it. I love all the little shops in the Shambles, Jorvik centre and of course York Minster. Glad you had a great day <3

I visited York in 1997 with my sister and her OH. We were there the day of Di's funeral so we couldnt really look around the minster as they had a tv there for people to watch the funeral on.We also visited the Shambles, and the Railway museum. And walk on part of the wall. I must put some photos of my English trip on my FB page some time.

Been a couple of times but ages ago. And we visited the Railway Museum and the castle museum and the Shambles. Loved it. For the life of me can't remember where we were staying. I guess it has to be Whitby.

they also have the Railway Museum which is great - son used to live there - driver on Trans Pennine trains - love the place - Jorvic Centre fantastic and the cathedral - love the Shambles - great shops too - Fenwicks and Browns - two shops we don't have in Cardiff

you can have tea in the Railway Museum = it's brilliant even if you donlt care for trains that much - so many interesting things in there
