Railroad Museum of South Florida, Inc.


7330 Gladiolus Dr
Fort Myers, FL 33966

The Railroad Museum of South Florida operates a 3,200-square foot museum located in Lakes Regional Park. The museum is open 7 days a week, although we do have a shorter summer schedule in August and September.

Located in the museum are “S” and “N” scale model train layouts, as well as an overhead “G” scale train, a “live steam” scale locomotive, and artifacts including an authentic brass bell from a steam locomotive (one ring per visitor, please!), rail tracks, lanterns, ticket punches, spikes, tools, and baggage carts on display. There is an interactive locomotive simulator, featuring the actual control console from a decommissioned diesel locomotive. The museum also houses a movie theater where you can sit and watch a video giving some history of the park and railroad.

There is also a wonderful little gift shop with many train related items for children and adults! We have t-shirts of all sizes, train whistle’s, key chains, engineer hats, bandanas, jewelry and much more!
