When things are cold and chilly here in the Mountain State or we’re preparing to deal with a rainy day, there’s no better thing to do than to find the ultimate indoor hangout spot to keep you occupied. In the delightful city of Wheeling, you can head inside a locally-known landmark to enjoy a museum that will absolutely make you feel like a kid again. If you’re ready to make the most out of your afternoon, then see why we love this indoor train park so much!
Hiding in plain sight, the Kruger Street Toy & Train Museum is housed inside the town’s old public school on Kruger Street.
