So try to find the best and safer route on a map by yourself (hint: reach the railway crossing on Travna Ulica, and then right to Pastiers... People often mention trains, museum, great, railway,

    We visited in February. The actual indoor part of the museum is not open to public until April. There was no entry fee to the outdoor exhibits. There are lots of different types of trains, you can walk on parts of the old tracks and get up close to trains. We enjoyed every bit of the exhibition.

    Once again a wonderful museum, unfortunately everything is outdoors and is therefore exposed to the weather, so the rare vehicles don't get any better. If you follow the drive past the allotment gardens to the end, you will come through the gate into a free parking lot, from where you can freely inspect the vehicles in the area. At the bend of the main street Dopravná 3-1 there is also a sign indicating where to turn.

    It turned out to be very comical that we arrived at the museum a day before the opening of the season))) Accordingly, we did not see everything we could. However, take a leisurely walk, Watched the trains. We will definitely come back when everything is working) Entrance is free.

    A great railway museum for railway fans with a functioning turntable. A visit to events with steam trains is particularly recommended. Unfortunately, there are still many railway vehicles that are rusting away and waiting to be renovated.

    I recommend it to every fan of steam locomotives. Local railway history enthusiasts diligently take care of these gems and over the years have managed to turn one rusted wreck lying on its side into a fully functional locomotive. You can look at local exhibits outside of regular events, but don't forget the locomotive parade organized every year.

    Tolle Züge, hätte gern mehr dazu erfahren. Leider nur mit Anmeldungen möglich. Spontan ist leider hier nicht möglich. Schlecht ausgeschildert. Schade eigentlich.

    Being a mechanical engineer, I loved this museum 🚂

  • 5/5 Petr H. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome display of various railway vehicles across different eras. We visited the museum when there was no other planned event so we had been there practically alone. I wish if only there was more technical info about each vehicle. Also there are no ammenities around, so come fitted with some refreshments. All and all great experience, wonderful open air museum. Must see for every fan of machinery and railways! And the entry is free of charge!

    Trains

  • 4/5 Olena V. 1 year ago on Google
    Many cool trains, possible to see inside and look into the history. But there are trains that should be maintained as the condition of them is not good. We saw the construction workers there, so maybe the condition of some trains will be improved soon.

  • 5/5 Tomáš K. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place, it is great home to many historical engines as well as wagons and other railway related machinery. It is great that there's such interest in preserving old steam engines for the next generation. I highly recommend it.

    One of my favorite places in Bratislava, unique outdoor museum of trains and all train related infrastructure, nice and quiet. You can just walk around and fantasize how it must had been in hey days of those huge things.

    Even though the museum is closed -and I guess from a long time ago-, you can see the trains which are outside. Apart from that, there is none there and it is located quite far away.

    Super

  • 3/5 Kalin P. 1 year ago on Google
    It's not easy to get there with public transport. Most of the coaches and locos need restavration and you can see from near only half of them. The expositions were closed. The admission is free. Maybe it's worth to visit it only when there is some event.

    Super.

  • 5/5 Stein Erik P. 4 years ago on Google
    Hidden star. Only outdoor exhibition. Seems to be under renovation. Live steam a few weekends during summer. Lots and lots of interesting engines and wagons. Also snow removal equipment and cranes. You has to take both tram and bus to get there. Trams 5 or 3 to Cintorin Raca. Then bus 52 or 56. Google maps incorrect sent us to the other side of the museum's entrance where we were blocked by a main railroad line.
