What you need to know

During the summer holidays, the Spoorwegmuseum in Utrecht is open daily, featuring the 'Koninklijk Spelen' play garden and plenty of hands-on train experiences.


📍 Maliebaanstation 16, 3581 XW Utrecht
⌚ Daily 10:00–17:00


It is a great spot for a family day out, combining outdoor play with indoor rides and interactive exhibits.


  • ✓ Take the shuttle: An hourly shuttle train runs from Utrecht Centraal to Utrecht Maliebaan, which is the easiest way to arrive with kids.
  • ✓ Beat the crowds: Arrive earlier in the day to enjoy shorter queues for the attractions.
  • ✓ Plan your visit: Keep the museum map handy to easily navigate between the outdoor play garden and indoor exhibits.

⚠️ The small car park fills up very quickly, so public transport is highly recommended; check the official website before you go.
