TrainTastic Named a Top Family Attraction in Coastal Mississippi
There’s something extra special about being recognized by the community you serve. And this month, TrainTastic Train Museum is feeling the love.
The results are in from the Sun Herald’s Best of Coastal Mississippi Awards, and we’re thrilled to share that TrainTastic has been honored in three major categories:
Gold: Family Attraction
Silver: Children’s Birthday Venue
Silver: Attraction
To everyone who voted, visited, and supported us over the past year – thank you. Your support is the reason we do what we do, and these awards are a celebration of that connection.
Why TrainTastic Stands Out
If you’re searching for things to do in Gulfport, MS, chances are you’ve heard about TrainTastic. But what makes us different from other Gulfport attractions? It starts with our mission to make learning fun, creative, and hands-on.
We’re not just a train museum – we’re a place where imagination and education meet. With 50,000 square feet of interactive model train displays, ride-on trains, a STEAM lab, and an indoor play wing, there’s something here for every age and interest.
Visitors can push buttons to blow horn whistles, make boats move across miniature harbors, and explore model cities in every scale. It’s immersive. It’s educational. And it’s fun.
Voted Best Family Attraction – Here’s Why That Matters
Winning Gold for Family Attraction means the world to us. It reflects what we hear from parents every week: that TrainTastic is a place where kids are engaged, where families can spend meaningful time together, and where the experience is both fun and enriching.
From our interactive exhibits to our friendly staff and clean, safe facility, everything we do is designed with families in mind. We’re honored that so many of you see the value in that.
A Favorite for Gulfport/Biloxi Birthday Parties
Taking Silver for Children’s Birthday Venue is another huge win. Over the past year, more families than ever have celebrated their special days at TrainTastic. Our private party rooms, themed add-ons, and built-in entertainment make party planning easy and fun.
Kids get to ride the train, explore exhibits, and enjoy time in a space created just for them. And parents love that they don’t have to worry about the weather, setup, or cleanup.
Still One of the Coast’s Top Attractions
Earning Silver for Overall Attraction is a proud moment. With so many amazing places to visit on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, being named one of the best means TrainTastic is more than a local secret. It’s becoming a go-to destination for tourists, school groups, and train lovers from across the region.
More Than a Museum
We’re not here just to win awards. We’re here to create memorable experiences, inspire creativity, and bring people together. That’s why we’re constantly adding new events, exhibits, and programming.
Whether it’s our Holiday Lights event in the winter, our Halloween-themed Tricks, Treats & Trains in the fall, or community LEGO Build Days throughout the year, we’re always working to make each visit new and exciting.
If you haven’t visited TrainTastic yet, now’s the time. Come see why we’re one of the most loved things to do in Gulfport, MS and a standout train museum on the Gulf Coast.
Join the growing community of families, educators, and train enthusiasts who’ve made TrainTastic their go-to destination for learning and fun.
