PRIVATE PARTIES AT TTM

Parties continue at TTM despite damage to caboose!

TTM can still provide a unique place to celebrate your next event. While the party caboose is being repaired, we can offer you space in our large main display building. This has the advantage of being near our horse carriages, automobiles, model railroad layouts and even the restrooms! Our picnic tables under shady trees are also still available. We hope to have the party caboose back in service by mid 2010.

Phone (210) 490-3554 during regular hours on Thursday,
Friday, Saturday and Sunday for more information.

TTM's Party caboose. Seats 30. A/C & Heat

Please review the museum's safety rules posted at the bottom of this page.

Texas Transportation Museum is a great place to hold your party. Our PARTY CABOOSE seats thirty people very comfortably. It has both air-conditioning and heat. You and your guests have exclusive use of the party caboose during your allotted time plus full access to the entire museum, including regularly scheduled train rides. A ride in one of our antique fire trucks or other vehicle may also be available, depending on the weather and the availability of a trained volunteer.

The display building provides ample space for serving food and drinks. It is a great venue to throw a party for kids of all ages. Renting the display building requires a $50.00* non-refundable deposit at least three weeks prior to the party date. An additional $50.00* is due when you arrive to set up your party. We supply name tags so your guests will not be asked to pay admission as they move around our huge site.

We also have a number of outside picnic tables, most shaded by trees. These can be reserved for only a $25.00* non-refundable deposit, required at least three weeks prior to the party date. An additional $25.00* will be due at time of arrival

A Word About Safety

TTM

Everyone at Texas Transportation Museum wants your visit to be a pleasant one. But we also care that it is a safe experience, too. Railroads, by their very nature, are both fascinating and dangerous. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP A TRAIN QUICKLY. Even going at the slow speed we use at the museum, even in an emergency, a train will travel many more feet than a car would at the same speed. In addition, it is simply not possible for the engineer to see everything that is happening "behind" the train.

PLEASE HELP US TO KEEP OUR VERY SUCCESSFUL ACCIDENT PREVENTION RECORD BY FOLLOWING THIS IMPORTANT RULE :

KEEP OFF THE TRACKS AT ALL TIMES!

Keep an eye on your kids. Don't let them wander off on their own. Keep them away from the tracks and from the roads. We try to keep our exhibits out where you can see them, but much of our collection is both rare and easily damaged.

Please keep small hands away, so everything and everyone is safe.
