Kids enjoy this experience center on train history very much. The whole exhibition is more of an experience then a museum and is executed in a clever way. Interaction plays an important role and the setting is fabulous. A 'must do' with kids in Utrecht More

Best I can say about it is, meh. Not bad, nothing to write home about, especially if you don't speak Dutch (which I don't). Not that many explanations, almost none in English and nothing terribly attractive about it. Best thing about the place? It's parking lot. It's cheap, it's close to downtown Utrecht and it's the ideal place to leave... More

You can also have something to eat and/or... More

We visited this museum after summer (couple + child 2+). Few attractions inside and few outside but rather for older children and adults. You can learn about trains in the past and nowadays or see how train services manage different situations which can happen on the railway. Interesting to see for few hours. More

Wij waren hier tijdens de kerstvakantie. Het museum is dan omgetoverd tot winterwonderland. De gewone attracties blijven gewoon te bezoeken, maar daarnaast zijn er extra attracties zoals een ijsbaan en een grote draaimolen. De geschiedenis van de trein en alles wat daarmee te maken had/heeft is fraai in beeld gebracht. Je waant je soms echt in een andere wereld. Buiten... More
