This is the nicest Transport Museum, I have ever seen. My favorite! I go there at least 2-3 time a year. Reason being that you not see it all in one single day. Take you time, check what you want to see on the internet before you leave home and go for it. Its not only seeing, you can also... More

Perhaps I did my homework too well and read too many reviews about the Swiss Transport Museum, we were a little disappointed with our visit here. We only enjoyed the train section, which we took many photos of the trains. There are so many of them!! The trains looks very classic, with each one different from the other. We finished... More

I don't usually go to museums but this was great. My husband and I spent hours here and could have stayed longer. It's especially good for train lovers. I had been to this museum when I was in high school and remember enjoying it back then as well. I can see how it would appeal to all ages. It's also... More

We spent 5 hours at this fantastic museum with our three girls ages 9, 10 and 13, who I should add are not overly into trains, planes and automobiles. However the hands on displays, interactive informations and fun activities kept them all engaged for the entire time. There are scooters available for kids in the large outdoor area so they... More

This museum especially shines in its train section. The airplane, boat, and car sections are very good, but, oh, the trains. We visited for approximately 5 hours, and my 5 year old was entranced the whole time. Lots of great interactive activities for young and old(er). It's also a lovely walk around the lake to get there from Lucerne. More
