The weekend before Easter, our family was fortunate enough to attend The Great Bunny Train at the National Railroad Museum here in Green Bay. We spent 3 hours checking out the museum, participating in Easter activities, meeting the Easter Bunny and going on a train ride.
I have lived in Green Bay my entire life and I have no memories of ever actually going to the railroad museum so this wasn’t just a great experience for the kids but me too!
The kids had a great time meeting the Easter Bunny. (Minus Alexander who was scared to go near him).
The kids really enjoyed checking out the trains.
I enjoyed seeing all of the people and snapping pictures.
Ellie really enjoyed her freedom and being able to run around, play with big floor puzzles and the train tables.
Before calling it a day, we made our way out to the train depot and boarded the train where we took our seats, met our conductor and received a special golden egg with a chocolate treat inside.
The 3 older kids enjoyed sitting on the top tier of the train car while Alex, Ellie and myself remained on the lower level.
All in all everyone had a great time. Alexander is already planning on going back this summer to see Thomas the Train!
Thank you to our friends at the National Railroad Museum and US Family Guide for making this possible.
