Jackson Street Roundhouse

I want to give a huge shout out to the staff and volunteers at the Jackson Street Roundhouse and the Minnesota Transportation Museum. So much kindness for our family. We enjoyed walking around at our own pace and riding the train.

Cooper loved the ‘free’ train magazines (which we donated for 🙂, Sawyer loved the hot dog stand, and Harbor adored the model trains. He even dove under the fence to get a closer look.

And I teared up when Cooper signed ‘thank you’ to three volunteers and they signed ‘thank you’ back to him.

We had the best time visiting and will most definitely be back! I highly recommend a visit to this place! It was a blast.

Finding Cooper’s Voice is a safe, humorous, caring and honest place where you can celebrate the unique challenges of parenting a special needs child. Because you’re never alone in the struggles you face. And once you find your people, your allies, your village….all the challenges and struggles will seem just a little bit easier. Welcome to our journey. You can also follow us on Facebook, subscribe for exclusive videos, and subscribe to our newsletter.
