There are a number of Choice Hotels in Altoona where you can stay while you explore the area.Known to be an engineering marvel when it was constructed in 1854, the 220-degree acre Horseshoe Curve is a railroad line resting in the center of the Allegheny Mountains. A close by funicular railway will take you above a hill that features views of trains riding along the curve. The visitor’s center will provide you with insight into the creation of the track. The Railroaders Memorial Museum is situated over five acres of land.

The third floor of the museum is dedicated solely to kids, with hands-on exhibits and model trains.
