La Estacion Theme Park, Railway museum and former railway station in Aguascalientes City, Mexico

La Estacion Theme Park is a former railway station in Aguascalientes now operating as a museum with four exhibition halls, a locomotive monument, and dancing fountains spread across the historic railway grounds. The complex also includes a visitor center, a theater for presentations, and a library.

The station and the adjoining loading warehouse were both inaugurated on 20 November 1911, built on land of the Hacienda de Ojocaliente from 1893 onward to designs by the Italian architect G.M. Buzzo. The lower floor held passenger waiting rooms and a restaurant, the upper floor offices. In 2003 the architect José Luis García Ruvalcaba renovated the buildings for the railway museum.

In the "La Estación" building, the ground floor recreates a living room and the ticket offices and displays photographs of the state baseball team Los Rieleros; upstairs are a telegraph office and a superintendent's office. A showroom there features railway personalities such as Francisco López Medrano, known as El Trainero, Ventura Salazar and Cornelio Cerecero Salazar.

The complex sits on the grounds of the former Hacienda de Ojocaliente, with the old station and the loading warehouse as its two main buildings; the station's lower floor held the waiting rooms and a restaurant, the upper floor the offices. The site is laid out as a theme park, so allow time to move between the indoor showrooms and the outdoor plazas and fountains.

The museum occupies four of the forty-eight large departments of the old railway installations, the oldest rooms of the complex, dating from the end of the 19th century. The loading warehouse traces the working-class struggles, the Mexican Revolution, derailments and the history of locomotive engine No. 40.
