Utrecht, Spoorwegmuseum

Walk from the center of Utrecht, pass a park along the river, and walk for about twenty minutes to reach the Netherlands Railway Museum located behind the houses. Different from the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam, the road is very quiet and comfortable, and you can also appreciate the characteristics of Dutch suburban houses. As soon as you step into the museum, you will be attracted by the quaint train station lobby. Old trains from different eras are displayed on the tracks: the oldest steam locomotive in the Netherlands, wooden carriages, postal carriages, carriages that carried Jews during World War II... The trains there are very open, and tourists can walk through the entire train from the rear to enjoy the seats, high-end carriages, cloakrooms, meal cards, etc. of the classic trains, and the appearance of the trains of the past comes to life before your eyes. In addition to viewing old trains from different periods, the museum also offers many simulation games and experience activities suitable for all ages. The first is the Trial By Fire simulation warehouse experience, which takes everyone on a 200-year journey through the Netherlands' railway history, which is both thrilling and exciting. The second is taking the small roller coaster Steel Monsters to explore the train engineering, which seems tense in the dark, but is actually relaxing and fun. Children can even simulate driving a train in the train model room. The Tech Lab on the upper floor has many scientific experiment games related to trains, which are interesting and fun, and you can also learn some small knowledge at the same time. There is also a small village simulated next to the train station in the museum. When you walk around, it feels like you are walking into a time tunnel and are in an ancient village. At the end of the tour, the energetic children played games in the game room in the lobby, while the adults could sit in the cafe next to the game room to have a cup of coffee and rest. The Netherlands Railway Museum has a wide range of exhibits and games suitable for all ages. It is well worth a visit if you come to Utrecht; if you are a train fan, it is not to be missed! #Netherlands #Utrecht #Museum #Train #Netherlands Railway Museum #Free Travel #European Travel
