Stoomtrein Katwijk Leiden makes the ride part of the museum

In Valkenburg, the indoor and outdoor museum, the station atmosphere and rides on steam and diesel trains make up a whole day around narrow-gauge railways.

Plan your visit ↗

The locomotive as a system

Look at the boiler, drive and couplings before the train departs. Ask which locomotive is running that day and what can be seen of the maintenance.

The station sets the rhythm

Timetable, platform and carriage together form the experience. Arrive well before departure and distinguish the museum opening from the separate train times.

The outdoor museum takes time

Rolling stock and the yard are spread out. Leave time between rides for the collection and, on theme days, check which extra sections are accessible.

Before you go

Only open on days in the timetable calendar. On operating days the museum is open 10.30–17.00 and the ticket office closes at 16.30. After 27 September 2026 the calendar must be checked again. Booking is compulsory for several theme days.
