Swedish Railway Museum

Newly renovated after a very long closed time. Modern showroom of trains from the oldest to the newest and playful things for the kids along the way. It would be good if the showroom exit would be at the end to get a better flow of people but as long as there are not too many people it will work. Excellent outdoor activities for children, especially the mini train that everyone can ride.nYou can chose to bring your own food or buy in the restaurant, then eat in an old train wagon. Microwave oven is available as well.

I had been waiting since 2019 for the museum to reopen!nnLoved:n- The chronological ordering of locomotives, and the corresponding social, technical and organizational aspects.n- Concise information boards, videos in Swedish along with English translations.n- The large turntable is worth viewing.n- Scale models for display.nn- Kid-friendlyindoor play area, outdoor park, small train ride.nnCan be improved:n- The shop/butik. It needs much more items ranging from fridge magnets to scale models of SJ locomotives and carriages.n- While they have covered the history and provided a glimpse of futuristic trains, I don't recall seeing a summary of how train traffic looks today2010-2024 in terms of freight, passenger and military services.n- Turntable is action. It is perhaps the largest turntable in Sweden, and the visitors would love seeing an engine being turned by a single person.n- Guided tours in both Swedish and English, even if they decide to charge for the same.n- Add another railbus between 1312 and 1512 hours during the peak season.nnIt is a must-visit for railfans, and also for families willing to get a glimpse of trains of past and future. It is undoubtedly one of the top 10 Swedish museums that I have seen till date.

Great place and a lot for everyone to do! Both grownups and children liked this museum. There were playgrounds both inside and out with train theme of course and the exhibits was spacious even though there was alot of people visiting. Did not feel crowded at all.nnThe only negative was that the parking is limited and we had to park on a field next to the museum and around lunchtime there was a big queue to get food from the restaurant.

Good place to Visit but Parking slots are far less than visitors. Have to park somewhere else. Otherwise, nice exhibition and kids had fun with mini Train.

Recommended!!!nIt is beautiful and very interesting!!!
