Forget where you are, and join us on a breathtaking journey of adventure under, between and over fantastic locomotives. The Railway Museum. Experience it for yourself.
Come to the Railway Museum and relive the adventure
As you can imagine: a visit to the Railway Museum is one big adventure. You will see fantastic locomotives, trains and carriages from days gone by. Your voyage of discovery begins in the old Maliebaan Station, with its regal waiting rooms and nostalgic restrooms; magnificent details everywhere. Ready for your trip?
Welcome to the four worlds of the railways
The Great Discovery
Dream Trips
Steel Titans
The Workshop
In the Great Discovery you can take an audio tour through an English mining village and view the very first steam locomotive. The first train driver, John Middlemis, will tell you personally about his life in 1839. Let yourself be transported on a Dream Trip. Have a chat with the chef on the Orient Express, buy a ticket and come with us to the Far East. There is plenty to see and hear in the theatre...
Discover the secrets of a very special attic in Steel Titans. The attic belongs to Granddad Gommers. Granddad Gommers - who has always worked on the railways - takes you on an exciting journey back in time. Step into the ride and embark on a breathtaking trip under, between and over monsters of steel.
Hold tight, here we go!
In The Workshop you come face to face with dozens of jewels of the railway era. Enjoy exploring; you might even have a go at driving a locomotive in the simulator.
Enjoy delicious meals and snacks in the restaurant while your young adventurers enjoy themselves outside on the Junior Railway. There they will find the Jumbo Express, and the driver only allows children to climb aboard. Their destination? Ah, wouldn't you just like to know....
