February Events at Rosenberg Railroad Museum Offer All-Ages Adventure and Hands-On Fun
All aboard for a month of discovery, imagination, and community fun at the Rosenberg Railroad Museum, where February’s calendar is packed with engaging programs for train lovers, families, and curious minds of all ages.
Nestled in the heart of historic downtown Rosenberg, this beloved museum has long been a hub for learning and leisure in Fort Bend County. Opened in 2002 and dedicated to preserving the rich rail history of the region, the Rosenberg Railroad Museum features full-scale railcars, hands-on exhibits, a model train room, and a charming blend of historic and modern-day attractions. Throughout the year, the museum offers programming that blends education with entertainment, making it a treasured destination for school groups, scouts, and families alike.
This February, the museum’s event schedule rolls full steam ahead with a mix of unique offerings. One of the headliners is Dino Fun Day, happening February 22 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Families can explore the curious connection between dinosaurs and trains through interactive exhibits like a fossil dig pit, volcano experiments, a dino seek-and-find, crafts, games, and more.

Little ones are also in for a treat with Wig Wag Playtime sessions, creatively themed around trains and dinosaurs. On February 10, the “I Love Trains” edition will feature a sweet Valentine's celebration with dance videos, candy, crafts, and a reading inside the historic Garden Car exhibit. Then on February 27, it’s time to “Roar!” with a dino-themed version featuring fossil crafts and prehistoric play.
For the budding engineers in your life, Choo Choo Vision offers a behind-the-scenes look at railroads through the eyes of an engineer. Visitors can stop by the Model Train Room on February 7 or 22 between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to explore the train layout with enhanced visuals and a unique perspective. This feature is included with general admission.
