Noon Year's Eve | B&O Railroad Museum

Celebrate the New Year with the whole family!

Ring in the New Year at the B&O! Create your celebratory party hat and mirror ball, then head over to our Resolution Station and set your goals for the new year!

No New Year’s Celebration would be complete without the chance to see the ball drop, make a toast (with apple juice), and celebrate with confetti poppers!

Don’t forget to commemorate this great day out with family with photos topped off with balloons and props.

You can also ring in the New Year with a ride on our Reindeer Railway! Departing at 11 am and 1 pm, this special New Year’s edition offers festive fun for the whole family. Every rider will receive a celebration necklace and a delicious treat—the perfect way to welcome 2026! Train ride tickets may be purchased on site.

Wonderful rail museum with many historic engines, passenger cars, mail car, troop transport, and more. Several models layouts including the Smithsonian collection of models which was amazing. Wonderful presentation on the underground railroad. We will visit again.
