Something about steam engines that fascinates me. I would love to be able to have an up close look at one of those behemoths.

Well, it just so happens that there are steam fests all around the country where they get these old iron beasts running. Don't know about your neck of the woods, but here in Oregon, we have a place called Antique Powerland

that runs a two weekend event called The Great Oregon Steamup

where there are lots of stationary and mobile steamers plus lots of machinery of all kinds.

Here is the first steam event in Florida that came up in the search:

We have a steam museum here in northern Indiana Called the Hesston Steam Museum.

Lots of working steam machinery including 3 (different sizes) of working locomotives, a crane, traction engines etc. Plus a museum with tons of displays and interactive activities.
