Activities for the whole family
Join us on a journey through railway history and enjoy an unforgettable summer experience with your family. The summer holidays at the Danish Railway Museum are packed with exciting activities where you can ride vintage trains and mini trains. Listen to presentations about the museum's large turntable, the iconic red express train and the impressive Schleswig royal carriage from 1854. All activities are included in the entrance fee and the museum is open every day from 9:00 to 17:00.
Ride a Steam Locomotive
Riding a steam locomotive is a special experience, enveloped in smoke, steam, and the scent of coal. There are departures every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday during the summer holidays*, every half hour from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM (except at 12:30 PM, when the engineer takes a lunch break). Each ride lasts approximately 10 minutes. Please note that there will be no steam train rides on June 16, 17, and 18.
See a Steam Locomotive from a Whole New Angle
Have you ever wondered what a steam locomotive looks like from underneath? Normally, only a few people get to see this side of the locomotives, but now you have the chance. During the summer holidays, you can experience Denmark's second oldest preserved steam locomotive, B 45 from 1869, from underneath under track 7.
Take a ride in a vintage locomotive
Every Saturday, you can take a ride on our small vintage locomotive LNJ M 4 and enjoy a fun and unique experience on the museum's own railway. Departures are every half hour from 10:30 to 15:30 (except 12:30 when the driver takes a lunch break). A journey lasts approximately 10 minutes.
Get a ride on the miniature train
Both children and adults can look forward to a fun ride at children's height with our popular miniature train. The train departs every day from 9.15am to 4.30pm and the journey lasts approximately 5 minutes.
Talks around the museum
Dive into history and learn about the museum's large turntable, the iconic red express train and the special story behind the Schleswig Royal Carriage from 1854. The talks take about 15 minutes and are conducted in Danish and English.
