Amazing museum, worth the trip up from Brussels take the 59 bus; it's a joy with or without kids. An enormous effort put into the design and layout. Real authentic trains, and a cool Animalia exhibit going on at the same time too. Highly recommend!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Train World Museum in Brussels is an incredible destination for anyone interested in the history of railways and transportation. The museum is truly a remarkable place that offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into the world of trains, from their humble beginnings to the modern-day marvels of engineering. One of the things that I particularly love about Train World Museum is the way it showcases the history of Belgium's railway system. The exhibits are well-curated and presented in an engaging way, making it easy for visitors to follow the timeline of development from the early steam engines to the sleek electric trains of today. In addition to the exhibits, the museum also boasts an impressive collection of train cars and engines that visitors can explore up close. It's a unique opportunity to see these machines in person and appreciate the craftsmanship and technology that went into building them. The staff at Train World Museum are friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about their subject matter. They are always available to answer questions and provide additional information about the exhibits. Overall, Train World Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone with an interest in trains and transportation. The exhibits are informative, the collection is impressive, and the staff is welcoming and informative. I highly recommend a visit to Train World Museum in Brussels!
I visited a lot of museums of trains in the UK but it was my first time abroad. This one was very good and one of my favorite. They decorated the place very well and it’s quite immersive. The lights were very low which made the ambiance special. I liked the fact that you can go inside some of the trains and that they added some decors to make it more realistic. It was very nice! When we visited there was also some parts about climate changes and they educate people about how we can improve our impact. It was very interesting and useful! Definitely a museum you have to see even though it’s a bit away from the centre of Brussels. We arrived by car so this wasn’t an issue as there was a parking next door.
This is a terrific museum. You enter through a lovingly restored station . The majority of the collection is stored in a large, modern building whose plain exterior encloses a sequence of large halls displaying the collection in chronological order. The trains are beautifully displayed. There are many pieces of imaginative 'set dressing' which bring the various eras to life. This museum is one of the best I have ever visited. The signage is in several languages and the audio app is also excellent. The museum is also very clean. You would be an absolute curmudgeon if you failed to be fascinated by a day spent here. It is all under cover so the weather is not a factor and the tram and bus stops practically outside the front door.
I was expecting this to be a quick little tour with just a few train models to explore. I’ve never been so thrilled to be proven wrong. The tour starts simply enough, after introducing a somewhat complicated audio tour app. The app is not 5 stars, but it gets the job done. The tour continues outside where a few pieces can be seen before continuing into a second building. At the second building, I was thrilled to find that the rooms just keep going. Every time I thought the exhibit was surely over, it continued on to another room. And they were still interesting! I admit that my attention wandered a bit towards the end, but that’s more me than the tour. Once you figure out the app, it’s really fun and so full of information and forgotten history. Definitely worth the 15€. The ONLY recommendation I would make is regarding the order of the audio tours. The numbers can be a bit difficult to see at times, so you need to look closely and carefully to find them all. However, you can skip around and still have a great time!
One of the most worthwhile visits and collections in Brussels. Although not situated in Brussels City, Train world is an impressive collection of everything trains and anything in between. The rooms where designed to immerse visitors to the experience and everything seem to have its place and a story behind it. Three hours had gone by so fast whilst roaming each room and admiring the beautiful machine called Trains and taking gorgeous pictures. I highly recommend taking the time out to visit Train World and enjoying what it has to offer. It is a very good value for money.
Must see museum in Brussels. The Belgium trains history is presented in very interesting way. It is interesting not only for small kids but also teenagers. Four main exhibitions plus à few additional smaller one.
