Yes someone does give guided tours throughout the day, different areas so you only go to the ones you want, they are short, like 30-45 mins. Can find out the tour times by calling them.

It cost $10 for adults plus taxes and the ride is the same as you mentioned above and does not cost extra just have to ask for a boarding pass. Granted you don’t get to go far but it is a “ride” and a guide talks to you about the trains and projects on site.

Georgia State Railroad Admission is $10 for adults and $6 for kids ages 2-12. Admission is good for 3 days and includes all daily guided tours.

I've only been with my school groups, but I think everyone has to pay. I think senior's get a discount.

We offer guided tours 10:30-12:00 and 1:00-4:00. Site Tours by Train are currently at 11:00, 11:30, 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00. You are not required to view the orientation film. We also have a playroom called Locomotion Lab with a train table and other toys, plus a model train room--perfect for little ones!

Georgia State Railroad Museum has a large gravel lot, which is free for museum visitors.

Yes, dogs are allowed on site as long as they are on a leash! With the exception of service animals, dogs are not allowed on the Site Tour by Train or on our Executive Office Car Tours (walking tours through restored rail cars).

Trolly Tours and Old Savannah Tours (easily found doing a Google search.) Both of these companies had many many tours going every day, and I believe they will also pick up from hotels and you can buy a ticket where you can get on and off whenever you like. I didn't use either of them when I was there as I just walked everywhere, but there seemed to be one every 10 minutes going around the historic district. Enjoy, Savannah is beautiful!

The answer depends partly on whether you have children with you and how great an enthusiast you or they are. I would say the minimum would be two hours. Add a couple of hours for the children's area (a separate admission) and the playground. Add a couple of hours to completely tour the grounds and exhibits. Have fun, it's a great place to visit.

Generally, it takes visitors about 45-60 minutes to complete a self-guided tour of the site; however, all of our guided tours (including Site Tours by Train when they are offered) are 30 minutes each, and our orientation video lasts 20 minutes. Many visitors end up spending 2-3 hours at our museum.
