Why go
This family route stays around western downtown, so younger visitors can spend their energy on exhibits rather than long transfers. The Children’s Museum makes a lively first stop; the railroad museum then shifts the focus to full-size engines and the old rail complex. Savannah History Museum gives older children and adults a broader story of the city. Take the sites at an easy pace and allow a break between them. Parts of the children’s and railroad experiences are outdoors, so check each museum’s current conditions and operating day before setting out.
