ST. LOUIS - TelAve -- Twinkling lights. Magnificent model trains winding through enchanting holiday displays. Reindeer, Santa, and the joy of a miniature train ride. The National Museum of Transportation is preparing a season of magical memories—and asking the community to help make those memories available to ALL children.

Through the Museum's ALL Aboard Program, a $10 donation sponsors admission and miniature train rides for one child who might otherwise miss this special holiday experience. The program serves underserved children throughout our community, including children in foster care and those facing ongoing medical challenges.

Home to Missouri's largest and best collection of indoor holiday train displays, the Museum invites donors to help spread holiday cheer by opening the door to a day of discovery, wonder, and family memories.

"We know families are feeling the strain as the cost of nearly everything continues to rise," said Terri McEachern, Executive Director of The National Museum of Transportation. "For some, a holiday outing simply isn't within reach. We want every child to have the chance to see our magical model trains, visit Santa, and experience the excitement of the season, regardless of their family's ability to pay. For just $10, you can help give a child that opportunity."
