La Estacion Theme Park (The Railway Station) is a historic and recreational complex located in the city of Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, in the Mexican state of Aguascalientes.
The State of Aguascalientes was at some point a major railway hub for Mexico, due to its central location between important cities. It was home to some of the largest workshops and warehouses in Latin America. When the workshops ceased its work, the calderas, machinery and old workshops remained abandoned. They were salvaged by the city council and converted into a museum area and theme park.
La Estación Theme Park is composed of dancing fountains, the railway museum (with its two buildings), fast food restaurants, the Locomotive Engine Monument, visitor attention office, Spring water Square, Furgón theater, Civic Plaza, Whistle Plaza and a Knowledge Cabús.
It consists of four showrooms. The first one functions as a gallery, in Showroom 2 the work of Manuel Manila Posada's colleague is usually shown. A third show room works as an exposition of the followers of this art. The last room is a library and contains about five thousand books, that include an important collection of poetry and theatre works.
Opening Hours are - Monday to Sunday: 07:00 to 19:00 hrs.
