3 Best Landmarks in Salinas, CA

This is an incredible place, with INCREDIBLE people, and a wealth of knowledge of local history! This museum's/model railroad club's very existence is an inspiring example of government and non-government partnership. ALL those in any way involved in this organization's preservation have reason to be very proud of their accomplishments. Go to their website for an open house schedule and member contact information.

A wonderful little museum that showcases the history and train routes of the Salinas Valley. Their model train and dioramas are super impressive. If your child is old enough, they can even operate the model trains. My son can spend hours playing with the little toy train set and exploring the train cars in the outside area. The staff is always so welcoming! We love this place.

My partner & I had so much fun here and learned quite a lot! Mike gave us a tour of the locomotives outside and was very personable. You can blow the horn, but warning, it's loud.

This library is very modern,clean, and child friendly they also have an Excellant media room for the budding producer/ director,,there is security patrolling keeping valuables safe and pretty darn noise free..Supported by the Steinbeck Family,,this library has all your favorite collection of john Steinbeck works, and other memorabilia.

I LOVE this library. I have always had amazing experiences here. The staff has always been helpful and kind. Despite its location and some rather nefarious looking fellows lurking about, not one bad experience have we had. The John Steinbeck Library is awesome. Plus, you can check out toys; how great is that.

Love this classic layout for a library simple and straightforward. Plenty of after school activities books magazines newspapers video games and especially my favorite, jigsaw puzzles.
