Please check your train schedule ahead of time since there is limited train service to Belen. For groups wanting to travel by train, call the Museum ahead of time. We would be happy to accommodate your group with an early schedule and/or can help you figure out the best plan for your group. In the past we’ve had groups dropped off by bus then take the train back or visa versa.
