😠 I ordered two tickets online but didn't receive any e-ticket in the mailbox. When I asked them to resend the ticket to me, the staff said: "you can go to the counter to buy two additional tickets". Their sayings are so ridiculous and unbelievable. My original reservation was on Saturday, and I final... People often mention museum, train, trains, staff, Great, ride,

    I ordered two tickets online but didn't receive any e-ticket in the mailbox. When I asked them to resend the ticket to me, the staff said: "you can go to the counter to buy two additional tickets". Their sayings are so ridiculous and unbelievable. My original reservation was on Saturday, and I finally received my tickets one day later. I asked them if they can reschedule it but have no reply yet. I just feel they robbed my 18 euros. It's not a big amount, but really an unpleasant experience for my trip. This museum definitely deserves better staff.

    Great little museum managed and cared for by a devoted group of volunteers. The kids loved the short steam train ride as well.

    The child really liked it at the very beginning of the museum. We liked it so much that we couldn’t get to the museum itself, to see the big locomotives. So we will go more than once. We bought steam locomotives there, very convenient, thank you.

    Magical place. So many pieces of rolling stock are preserved there. The staff is incredibly friendly. Totally worth the ticket price

    Museum for narrow gauge trains. Kids enjoyed the steam train and diesel train rides. A nice indoor place for children to play with train toys too.. Great staff who were eager to explain all questions that you may have..

    If your child loves trains this is definitely a place that you need to visit. It’s packed with locomotives. On special events they also show century old fire trucks to the general public. The museum has a canteen with a limited offer of food and beverages. However the child’s play area is awesome. Endless hours of fun.

    Nice place to hang out. Lots of old guys playing with trains. Entertaining. Update: it gets better every year. Now come regularly with my son as we live close by, and he absolutely adores the place. Always something to do for him and he's always happy.

    Excellent museum with a most impressive collection, very friendly volunteers, really worth the visit (don't forget the train ride) 👍👍👍

    GREAT museum, child friendly, interactive. Kids can touch and move almost every switch/control etc. The little train ride is nice, but not as great as expected.

    Getting back to old Days, when Steam Train was operating. Wonderful to think how the life was before, and how we get developed to reach these days.
