As a living, moving museum, the Museum Steam Tram is truly unique. Step aboard an authentic steam tram and immerse yourself in history. Watch the stoker shovel coal into the fire before the whistle signals departure—a true step back in time. Choose from these exciting options:
Visit the Museum Steam Tram website for full tour details and experiences. One route even includes a short boat segment. The season kicks off March 31; book tickets online or at the station.
Adults start at €21.50, children at €16.00 per ticket. Prices vary by route and include boat trips or museum visits where applicable. Check the timetable in advance, as services aren't daily.
From mid-April, the Museum Steam Tram winds through blooming landscapes at their peak. Historic locomotives carry you past vibrant tulips lining the tracks between Hoorn and Medemblik. The museum even offers a Tulip Guarantee at Hoorn, Wognum, and Medemblik stations when fields are in full bloom.
Our experienced train drivers note: "The vast fields along the route, especially between Benningbroek and Abbekerk, are breathtaking. A rainbow of tulips greets passengers on both sides."
Beyond the fields, stations burst with colorful tulips from mid-April, creating a festive welcome for all visitors.
Kids love the interactive Steam Safari! Receive a fun booklet on departure with locomotive facts, puzzles, and rail trivia. Even better, assist crew members en route—learn the roles of driver, conductor, station master, and porter firsthand.
The museum hosts additional events throughout the season. Fill a May holiday gap with this vibrant day out. More details on the Museum Steam Tram site.
