“My Mom and I went and checked this museum out. The audio guide was 2 euros and was worth the price. It gave lots of interesting stories and facts that weren't written on any of the didactics around the museum. The reason for a 4/5 review was we found the staff to be a bit rude and unhelpful and the museum itself was very confusing to find your way around and there was not a lot of signage directing you how to exit. Overall though the trains were super cool, you could climb into many of them to get a better look, and the kids that were visiting with other…”
