The museum provides informative displays about the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway's history and its impact on the local area. While some visitors note that the site is compact, many find the experience enjoyable, especially for railway enthusiasts and families with children interested in trains. The museum's events, such as steam days and special holiday-themed rides, are particularly popular.
