Sehr schönes und Originelles Museum zum anfassen und vertiefen. Man kann hier in einige Waggons und Züge reingehen so das man ein Gefühl bekommt wie es mal war. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ein Besuch in diesem Museum ist für jeden Eisenbahn Fan ein muss. Familien haben hier viel zu sehen und zu erleben 👍👍 Freue mich schon aufs nächste mal.

(Translated by Google) As with the automobile museum, it is a guaranteed step back. Even at a standstill, these trains, each more beautiful and impressive than the next, continue to make us travel by sight and thought. (Original) Comme pour le musée de l'automobile, c'est un retour en arrière assuré. Même à l'arrêt, ces trains plus beaux et impressionnants les uns que les autres, continuent de nous faire voyager par la vue et la pensée.

(Translated by Google) Great to see a lot! (Original) Super, sehr viel zu sehen!

(Translated by Google) A beautiful collection of trains that perfectly reflects two centuries of history of the French railways, in the largest railway museum in Europe (two large halls). With different spaces of visit and animations, we can discover locomotives and wagons of XIXth and XXth centuries, superbly staged. Finally, a steam train, which starts every hour, it's all just magic. An address in Mulhouse that I highly recommend. (Original) Une très belle collection de trains qui retrace à la perfection deux siècles d'histoire des chemins de fer français, dans le plus grand musée ferroviaire d'Europe (deux grands halls). Avec différents espaces de visite et d'animations, nous pouvons découvrir des locomotives et des wagons des XIXème et XXème siècles, superbement mis en scène. Pour finir, un train à vapeur, qui se met en route toutes les heures, c'est tous simplement magique. Une adresse à Mulhouse que je recommande vivement.

Amazon place, with an exceptional collection of trains, both ancient and new. Wonderful whether one is interested in history (trains are tightly linked to French and European history, but also to relationships with the US), in trains technology (a lot of details provided), in seing beautiful omthings from the past and of today. Spending 2 hours or the full day is possible: in any case, a marvel! There is also a "model making" section. Plenty of things to do with kids, in particular a comprehensive tour in a small train inside the whole exhibition.

Amazing museum with lots of trains to see from the dawn of steam up till tgv, etc all very well laid out. V friendly staff. Great way to spend 2-3 hours. Large car park.

Dieses Museum begeistert nicht nur Eisenbahnfans. Hier hat man erfolgreich eine eigene Welt geschaffen, in die der Besucher eintauchen darf. Mit allen Sinnen. Wunderbar, kreativ, mitreißend!

Sehr schöne und umfangreiche Ausstellung mit Liebe zum Detail. Um alles zu sehen braucht man schon ein paar Stündchen. Einziges Manko ist der Außenbereich dem leider nicht viel Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird.

Amazing museum! Suitable for anyone, children or adult, fan of trains or just interested in pretty trains. The average visit time indicated on the web site is 2h30 but I would say it's at least 3 hours maybe even 4. If you get hungry, there's a restaurant inside - a bit expensive but decent for a museum.

(Translated by Google) What happiness! You can take a little train ride inside and outside. Volunteers are passionate people who are very caring. The trains are just beautiful. In short, a great afternoon for the whole family (Original) Que du bonheur ! On peut faire un tour de petit train à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur. Les bénévoles sont des passionnés qui sont très attentionnés. Les trains sont juste magnifique. Bref, un après midi au top pour toute la famille

The best railway museum I have been so far

(Translated by Google) Super very interesting museum of many mythical trains. To visit despite the fact that the little Alsace train does not work (Original) Super musée très intéressant de nombreux train mythique. A visiter malgré le fait que le petit train d'Alsace n'est pas fonctionné

It's a good thematic museum, recommend for train lovers and not just!

Beautiful and large train museum. Interesting exhibition about WW2 and the importance of rail transportation. Never new there was also a fourth class. The differences in the classes was huge. Loved the train cabin the French built for De Gaulle with the extra long bed. The sleeping cabins and restaurant cars were beautiful. Good restaurant at the museum.

It is not a bad museum, but there is nothing to explain the 13 eur entrance for adults and 9.5 eur for a child of 4 years old. There are trains there of all era's and description of them. Furthermore there is nothing else. If you really like trains this is nice, but for the average man or woman there is nothing special.

A cathedral of railway history. Wandering through this sprawling structure, I felt overcome by a spirit of deep reverence: for those towering leviathans of steel that helped create the modern world and transform the populace's conceptions of time, but also for the workers and engineers and even the politicians who helped make such a world possible. Even dormant, the old trains seem to possess an overwhelming and imposing force, feeling almost primordial in their grandeur and clean elegance of design while also signalling the birth of a different age, one of sophistication and glamour. They are harbingers of transformation, of an age that once seemed exhilarating and terrifying in its sheer dynamism, but one that we now look back upon nostalgically. Lingering in the darkness of what was once the old SNCF trainshed, they still seem almost alive, especially surrounded by a series of quite informative mini documentaries about railway travel throughout the last century and a half.

Great old train museum. My father-in-law really appreciate this place as he worked for the French railway station for 38 years from the ages of seventeen years old to the age of fifty five years of age. Many beautifully kept old train on displayed. The staff are very nice as well.

Beautiful museum even if you are not particularly interested in trains as you can learn about the history of the train in France. Good for kids as there is a noddy train to take kids (and adults) around the museum (included in the ticket price)

Kleine Loks, grosse Loks, schnelle und ganz schnelle Züge. Hier werden sie in einem tollen Umfeld präsentiert. Anschriften in FR, DE und EN. Für einen Rundgang sollte man mindestens 2h einplanen. Erreichbar ab Bahnhof Mulhouse plus/minus alle 15 Minuten mit der Tramlinie 3 und dem TramTrain nach Thann bis Haltestelle Musee.

Our kids simply love it! Cool installations with audio where they exhibit real life conversations in trains in historic hall, then there's also a part for showing the trains outside and finally a hall with modern trains. So all about French trains and beyond. A tip: if you plan to visit several museums in the area, a museum pass can pay off especially if you have 2 or more kids, because one pass can take up to 5 kids with it

Dieses Eisenbahnmuseum in Mullhouse ist ein Highlight und mit dem Eintrittsgeld eine Reise wert. Wer Loks mag, wird sich hier wie im Schlaraffenland fühlen. Ist auf jeden Fall etwas für die ganze Familie. Parkplatz ist etwas klein, dafür kostenlos. Aufenthaltsdauer ca. 4 Stunden.

Great experience to discover old and newer train models. I recommend it to adults and children as well.

This place is a cathedral dedicated to the railway. A thorough exploration of the exhibition halls took me three hours. Special mention must go to the museum staff: the enthusiastic young man on the front desk gave me an overview, whilst the young lady in the restaurant was delightful and most helpful. Both spoke fluent English, which I appreciated - they were great ambassadors. I highly recommend this destination as an exceptional place to spend half a day!

Das offizielle Eisenbahnmuseum der Französischen Staatsbahn ist definitiv eine Reise wert. Eine beeindruckende Zahl von Lokomotiven und Wagen wird präsentiert. Dabei stehen die Exponate nicht nur einfach da, sondern werden jeweils im passenden Kontext vorgestellt. Zum Beispiel sitzen in den Wagen Puppen in zeitgenössischer Kleidung, und über Lautsprecher werden zu der dargestellten Situation gehörende Dialoge abgespielt. Das Spektrum der Ausstellungsstücke reicht dabei von den ältesten Loks und Wagen des 19. Jahrhunderts bis zum modernen TGV.

Some interesting pieces but all signs and tables were in French only. It also seemed a little neglected.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum (Original) Musee sympa

A great place to spend a few hours - wandering through the history of trains in France - from steam locomotives to the TGV and everything in between! Lots of interesting movie clips throughout the visit and would be perfect for all ages. The restaurant serves good food too - with lots of Specials on the menu each day. Well worth a visit!

This is a great place to understand the history of trains from the begining to till date and get the gist of evolution of trains in France. There are some simulations as well. Surely you could have Sheldon Cooper moments 😜

(Translated by Google) Very friendly and enriching (Original) Très sympathique et enrichissant

(Translated by Google) Magnificent (Original) Magnifique

Train Museum in Mulhouse. Reserve at least 4-5 hours to visit this so you can enjoy all the information. We went there from 3 to 6 pm as we arrived quite late, we enjoyed it a lot but we could have spent a little more time to see the trains more in detail.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting (Original) Très intéressant

One of my favorite museums to visit in Alsace. For their 50 year anniversary, they are giving guided tours. We took part in one these 90-minute tours and we learned so many interesting facts. The guide was great and really knows his stuff. Wonderful day. Highly recommend.

(Translated by Google) A magnificent museum. We walk through the history of the train from its origins to today. Who has never dreamed of traveling on legendary trains? Entertainment takes place during the day. Presence of a cafeteria with excellent dishes. Accessible to young and especially to big dreamers who may have wished to be one day in command of these rail monsters. (Original) Un magnifique musée. Nous parcourons l'histoire du train des origines à aujourd'hui. Qui n'a jamais rêvé de voyager à bord de trains mythiques ? Des animations ont lieu durant la journée. Présence d'une cafétéria avec des mets excellents. Accessible au petits et surtout aux grands rêveurs ayant fait peut-être le souhait d'être un jour aux commandes de ces monstres du rail.

Great museum in huge halls. Very impressive and a great history of trains. Really good even for non train enthusiasts!

If you like trains, and French trains on particular then this is the place for you. A wide selection of historical and more recent units means there's something for everyone here. Plus lots of additional information in several languages.

We had a great time here! If you are a fan of trains, you must check it out!

Excellent selection of gorgeous trains! I love the orange TGV and all of the classic engines. The model railroad was a cool extra addition to the trip as well. Would come to visit again!

It was cool!! You get a lot for your money! Free train rides for kids, total history of France trains, all in French though, and not an interactive play museum for kids. Still cool though for kids that love trains!

It's a lovely place to visit, there are a lot of trains to see with a good mix of epocs, there are also lots of little bits and pieces dotted around. It is too much biased towards French speaking, not much information for tourists, which is perhaps a little like a dropped ball as the exhibits are made in France, Germany, UK and America! A special mention should be made for the kitchen, the team are doing some really good food, not like a typical museum but like a restaurant, worth going just for lunch. The lady at reception was very welcoming, had a big smile and was knowledgeable, she spoke English, maybe German too.

Amazing museum with looots of things to see. The only bad part was the fact that if you don't understand french, you miss a lot of information.

Great museum with a lot of things to discover and experiment with. The special activities (engine initiation, mini train, high speed train cabin...) are run by volunteers who are fully passionate. 90% of the content is inside therefore it is a good option in case of bad weather.

What an amazing museum! Such a large collection of trains, locomotives and carriages. There is also info available in English, but all of the interactive stuff is in French. My two year old was a little afraid of the first room (dark, noises and big trains), but he enjoyed it a lot in the end. He still talks about it a week later.

Visited the museum with our train loving daughter (age 8) and her tolerant sister (age 10) and we all enjoyed it - good selection of food in the restauran, lots of trains to see and 3 ride on trains for us to go on. Happy to recommend.

Jeden Cent Wert! Die Zeit verging wie im Flug... eine sehr schöne Zeitreise. Schön wäre mehr für Kinder und Aktive was zu machen. Und die WC könnten mal neu gemacht werden, oder soll das zum Museum passen? Wir kommen noch einmal und dann gehen wir auch ins Elektronische Museum.

(Translated by Google) We very much enjoyed visiting this museum. Old trains, recent trains, and a bit of everything in between. The scenography plunges into very realistic station atmospheres, it almost feels like the start of a trip. (Original) Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la visite de ce musée. Trains anciens, trains récents, et un peu tout ce qui existe entre les deux. La scénographie plonge dans des ambiances très réalistes de gare, on se croirait presque au départ d'un voyage.

(Translated by Google) Large, spacious museum, very pleasant to visit. I can only recommend this place! (Original) Musée grand spacieux et très agréable à visiter. Je ne peux que recommander ce lieux !

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and large museum. Must visit (Original) Très beau et grand musée. À visiter absolument

(Translated by Google) Very huge, a beautiful exhibition on the Life of Trains from the oldest to the most recent with activities allowing us to better immerse ourselves in the era of the creation of trains. My 4 year old son and I really enjoyed it. To do again the next time I go to Mulhouse (Original) Tres immense une belle exposition sur la Vie des Trains du plus anciens au plus récent avec des animations nous permettant de mieux s'immerger dans l'époque d la création des trains. Mon fils de 4ans et moi avons bien profiter. A refaire la prochaine fois que je vais à Mulhouse

(Translated by Google) A step back in time 😁 (Original) Un retour dans le temps 😁

(Translated by Google) Perfect for a good time even with the family. On the other hand, the price is prohibitive for large families. (Original) Parfait pour un bon moment même en famille. Par contre le prix est prohibitif pour les familles nombreuses.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful time. I recommend this tour intended for any soul interested in trains. (Original) Un merveilleux moment. Je recommande cette visite destiné à tout âme intéressée par les trains.

(Translated by Google) Great very informative museum. During this visit there was the model fair. I came for the show and to visit the museum. If you have children this is the perfect place to occupy an afternoon. (Original) Super musée très instructif. Lors de cette visite il y avait le salon de modélisme. Je suis venu pour le salon et pour visiter le musée. Si vous avez des enfants c'est le lieu idéal pour occuper une après-midi.

(Translated by Google) Great place to visit. I highly recommend especially for people who are passionate about the train. (Original) Super lieu à visiter. Je recommande fortement surtout pour les personnes passionnées de train.

A place worth a visit, even if it doesn't rain and you don't know what to do with your 3 and 6 year old children. As in other French museums, the curators were able to put together didactic intent, sensationalism and national history.

Unfortunately I'm afflicted by some strange disease that makes me excited by trains and this place just exacerbated my condition! The museum is really well laid out with an obvious history of French railways. Although, you can discern the general gist of what's going on, sadly most signs are in French, so don't expect to lots of technical information in English. However, I was offered an audio tour at the start (presumably in English) but you had to have your own headphones and I'd left mine in the gite! The exhibits are in great condition and most have viewing platforms to help you see inside. The story of French obsession with rail speed is very interesting and contrast markedly with Britain's railways (however quaint ours are). The videos interspersed around the displays (although in French) are well worth watching as they show railway operations in some unusual settings. The only downside was the shop which appeared to be covid-paranoid rather than just secure. It also seemed a little pricey (but maybe that's thanks to Brexit!). A great place to spend a morning or afternoon, taking about 2-3 hours. Also, there is catering although they don't sell decaffeinated coffee - otherwise this was very good.

This museum is worth visiting! A lot of important historical pieces, I think that this is the best train museums of all. Good for young and old persons. Be aware that the museum is pretty big.

Absolutely love this train museum. There is a mini train ride on to take you around the trains. Love the video on TGV and also love the train models and display. Massive space for kids to run around. Adore the souvenir shop with a good collection of books. Although would be lovely to have more options for magnet. Additionally didn’t have the chance to explore all of the museum for some parts were closed as it was still running winter schedule in March.

It was so much fun! My train loving son was in heaven!

Great walk between the gigantic trains. Nice collection from very old to recent trains. Kids love the ride on the mini train outside.

(Translated by Google) I don't know anything about the train, but this museum is huge and well worth a visit. (Original) Je n'y connais rien au train mais pour le coup ce musée et immense et vaut bien une visite.

(Translated by Google) Great day at the city of the train. Beautiful discovery where from the start we were captivated. Thanks to Didier for all his information and explanations, he's a real enthusiast and we could listen to his anecdotes for hours. This is a place not to be missed, we will be back (Original) Super journée à la cité du train . Belle découverte où dès l entrée nous avons été captivé. Merci à Didier pour toutes ses informations et explications, c est un vrai passionné et on pourrait écouter ses anecdotes pendant des heures. C est un endroit à ne pas manquer , nous y reviendrons

(Translated by Google) Great day. Passionate animator. Really interesting. (Original) Super journée. Animateur passionné. Vraiment intéressant.

It's incredible place. For anyone, of any age. Just amazing. I really advise to bring your kids. Be careful, museum is quite big, 4 hours at least are needed, better to come for 6 hours and make a break (there is a restaurant inside). Easy access by tram N°3 from Gare de Mulhouse (20-25 min ride). Prices are affordable, 9-13 € for kid (>4 years) or adult. Welcome to Mulhouse, welcome to Alsace.

(Original) Un Musée très intéressant pour les petits et les grands... Les trains exposés sont impressionnants. Je le conseille vivement. Merci de nous faire découvrir un Patrimoine exceptionnel !!

(Translated by Google) Such a waste! This museum has great potential, but it is poorly organized and it is sorely lacking in explanation and consistency! I do not recommend the visit unless you are passionate and have extensive knowledge of the subject. We navigate in the middle of locomotives and wagons which follow one another in a great mixture without logical continuation (chronological or type). A poster in front of the elements presents only the model and a QR code provides access to more information. It is not at all fun, and makes the visit uninteresting. No explanation of how a train is driven, no possibility of seeing a driving position of a steam locamotive with explanations. A video shows a locomotive but the locomotive next to the screen is not the correct one (although it is in the collection 🤦). An electric locomotive is cut out in order to see the different elements that constitute it without explanation of the role of each. Different signage elements are present here and there without signs or QR code. It's a shame because the material presented and in great condition and the collections are important. This is not to pay homage to the restoration work carried out. Visit carried out under COVID health constraints. (Original) Quel gâchis! Ce musée a un potentiel très important, mais il est mal organisé et il manque cruellement d explications et de cohérence! Je déconseille la visite sauf si vous êtes passionné et avez une connaissance poussée du sujet. On navigue au milieu des locomotives et wagons qui se succèdent dans un grand mélange sans suite logique (chronologique ou type). Une affichette devant les elements présente uniquement le modèle et un QR code permet d'accéder à davantage d'information. Ce n'est pas du tout ludique, et rend la visite inintéressante. Pas d'explication sur la façon dont se conduit un train, pas de possibilité de voir un poste de conduite d'une locamotive à vapeur avec des explications. Une vidéo présente une locomotive mais la locomotives a côté de l'écran n'est pas celle la bonne (malgré qu'elle soit bien dans la collection 🤦). Une locomotive électrique est découpée afin d'y voir les différents éléments qui la constituent sans explication du rôle de chacun. Différents éléments de signalisation sont présents ici ou là sans panneaux ni QR code. C'est vraiment dommage car le matériel présenté et dans un super état et la collections est importante. Ce n'est pas rendre hommage au travail de restauration effectué. Visite effectuée sous contrainte sanitaire COVID.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful trains. Too bad a little lack of explanation on the first. By cons second part explanation on first train by a young person all in a good mood. Well done to him. (Original) Magnifique trains. Dommage manque un peu d'explication sur les premiers. Par contre deuxième partie explication sur premier train par un jeune tout dans la bonne humeur. Bravo à lui.

Great day out for all science lovers and has a brilliant café too. It can also be purchased in conjunction with a ticket for the Electropolis museum which is well worth a visit. It is important to offer for a day as a thorough look round can take up to 6 or so hours!
