The railway has a special place in the history and culture of The Netherlands, so much so that there is even a museum dedicated to the incredible 175-year history of the railway. A visit to the Railway Museum is a thrilling and interactive experience for the entire family, where everyone can view grand historic trains, take a mine lift, and see the components that went into the design and creation of the steam engine. Admire the De Arend, the first Dutch steam locomotive, or drop by the Dream Journeys exhibit of the museum, or take a ride on the Trial By Fire. Guests can also stop by the Oriental Auditorium, wherein actors recreate scenes from the Orient Express.
