Children and families

In the Järnvägsparken outdoor area next to the museum:

Experience historical railway buildings, such as the Hosäter track tender’s cabin and the Hennan station building. Take a ride on the mini-train and visit the playground next to the Ångpannan restaurant patio.

Railbus to the Train Hall

During the summer, the railbus operates between the museum and the Train Hall vehicle storage facility. Travel on the railbus is included in the entrance fee. The railbus also passes Gävle Central Station for boarding and disembarking in both directions.

Visit the Train Hall:

In the Train Hall, you can stroll around one of the largest rail vehicle collections in the world, and learn about the history of the railway, from its early days up to today. It is here where you can check out the big, cool locomotives, carriages and wagons.
If you’re in the mood for light refreshments, coffee, tea, water, soft drinks and ice cream can be purchased on site.
