denmark's railway museum

This is a very accessible museum and I liked the fact that you could freely walk onto the footplates of the engines. All descriptions of the main exhibits are in English. Very friendly staff and right next to the main station in Odense. Highly Recommended. The models of the train ferries were excellent.

Spent a pleasant few hours here when visiting Odense. Kids loved being able to see all the trains and a few of the interactive exhibits. They also loved the minature ride on railway and the ride on the vintage loco. Well worth a visit even if not a train enthusiast.

Not gonna lie, I love trains. (Yes, I'm that person.) A visit to this museum is a must for a train lover, but even if you're on the fence, you'll get a kick out of everything. It's easy to walk through, it's quite accessible (you can climb into several of the compartments in just about every train), you can take pictures of everything, and all signs have English translations, so you won't feel like you're missing something. The museum itself is located very close to Odense station, so it's something you could see on a layover or on a whim.

It's worth to visit this museum. There are train models and history in English :) A special exhibition about ferry was also good.

The train museum is situated right next to the Odense train station. There are many locomotives and train cars dated from the beginning of the 19th century and lots of information about them in Danish German and English. You are allowed to take pictures and even to get in some of these locomotives! If you like trains you shouldn't miss it, otherwise you may prefer to keep your 60dkk and not go there. Personally I had a good time and spent 2 hours there!

Located adjacent to the main railroad station in former railroad facilities including a roundhouse, this museum is pretty comprehensive for its coverage of railway equipment used in Denmark. Much is accessible (i.e., you can climb in and about coaches, sleepers and locomotives), and information is provided in English and Danish. Occasional operation of some locomotives occurs, though it didn't when we were there. There is a miniature train for kids (and adults who just can't pass up a train ride, no matter what gauge), though the ride isn't too long or scenic.

and their history this is the place to go. Opening hours 10-16 and you can se and read the history of the danish railway service.

With a couple of hours to spare this was an unplanned visit but was very interesting museum, well thought out and in a very interesting building adjacent the railway.A great place even for a casual train buff.

This was a nice surprise, as I was not expecting a great deal from the museum.The museum itself seems fairly modern but the trains come from a great ranges of eras. It's really interesting to see all the different engines and carriages. Some are fantastically luxurious and others the most simple.There is a free 10 minute long train ride outside, although there is no scenery to see so it was quite disappointing.There is a cafe inside but that was closed when we visited so cannot advise on that.Overall a good trip and should take you 2-3 hours.Parking is in the station indoor carpark and is quite reasonable. The payment machines for parking are all in Danish though so you may need to seek assistance!

They have an amazing collection of restored rollingstock from Danish railroad history. They also have a lot of activities for kids. They provide train rides on the miniature train and on the full-size train.

We visited the museum during the Thomas the Tank Engine weekend. There is a small train ride for the young children and you can take a ride in an old, original coal-fired train, that looks like the train from the cartoons. There is also a very big indoor playground for children.The museum has a lot of old trains that are interesting but if you come on a day without a "theme" the visit doesn't take long.But during the Thomas days you can easily spend a couple of hours or more with your children.

Conveniently located just behind the Odense train station is a large building that houses the Danish railway museum, with a large collection of trains from early times to the present. Not as large as York's famous railroad museum, but then Denmark is not as big a country as Britain, and correspondingly developed a smaller but still interesting and representative railway network. There is an admission charge. Excellent choice for a family if caught on a rainy day, or perhaps not quite ready to get on a modern day train from Odense to wherever you are bound.

This museum contains a lot of old trains from Denmark. Most of them are the real deal, not models. They are big and you can touch them to feel them.Some days you can ride in one of them, and you can get inside a lot of them. A must for anybody who likes trains!Best of all: Located in the middle of the city, just beside the main railway station.

This was a lovely little museum with many activites for the children including a miniature train a hand-cart and some great model train layouts in lego and hornby. There were even PCs for the kids to try their hands at railway simulation games.

There are so many old trains, really a lot to look at. Beautifully made and really gives you an idea about the old trains and how it all worked back in time. You have a possibility to try out an old train for a short drive and there is also a small train for kids, which is fun. Also a big area with Brio Train , where the kids can play for a very long time!
