点评:This museum is in the old Union Train Station, which itself is an architectural gem of a building, with classic art deco designs from the 1890s. In addition to the building, though, they have lot of galleries with photos and descriptions of what life was like during the age of train travel. It's very eductational, even if you are not a train buff. Downstairs, they have a good selection of old rail cars on the tracks that you can walk through. Plus some activities for the kiddos. In addition to the bits about train travel, they have a history of Omaha from native settlement to the present. It's got a lot of galleries, so plan at least an hour to wander among them and appreciate all the different exhibits. It's a pretty large overall exhibition area, and you'll do a lot of walking. (They have a lot of benches and elevators so it's accessible.)
One other neat thing is that the old station soda fountain is still working. It was fun to grab a classic root beer float and hot dog there! I thought this was the best part of my visit to Omaha. It's a must-see.
翻译:这家博物馆位于老联合火车站内,这座建筑本身就是一件建筑瑰宝,拥有19世纪90年代经典的装饰艺术风格。除了建筑本身,博物馆还设有许多展厅,展示着火车旅行时代人们的生活照片和文字说明。即使你不是火车迷,这里也极具教育意义。楼下,铁轨上停放着许多老式火车车厢,你可以穿行其中。此外,这里还有一些适合儿童的活动。除了火车旅行相关的展品,博物馆还介绍了奥马哈从原住民定居到现在的历史。展厅众多,建议至少预留一个小时来参观,细细品味各种不同的展品。整个展览区域面积相当大,需要走很多路。(博物馆内设有许多长椅和电梯,方便游客参观。)
另一个亮点是,老车站的汽水喷泉仍然在营业。在那里品尝经典的沙士汽水漂浮和热狗,真是乐趣无穷!我觉得这是我奥马哈之行中最棒的部分。绝对值得一看。
