Cass Scenic Railroad State Park
History
Appalachian logging-era heritage railroad with Shay steam locomotives — covers West Virginia timber industry history, steam engineering, and mountain railroad operations.
What families say
Families consistently love the steam train excursions (the whistle and scenic views are a highlight), plus the general store, history museum, and local shops make it easy to fill a whole day. It works well across ages—reviewers mention kids from 10 to 18 and even grandparents enjoying it—though the longer Bald Knob excursion runs pricey (around $85-100/ticket), so the shorter Whittaker trip may be the better budget-friendly option for a first visit.
Ages 5–18
