Modelspoormuseum - Doctor Boumaweg 17b

This is a cute museum, especially for children, but it's not worth a big detour. The museum itself is only half the building's interior, and much of the exhibits on display are various items collected between the early 1800's to present day. There are quite a number of landscapes with trains set up and running, but many are very small. Only three are a reasonable size, of which two are larger format model trains set up down stairs. The other is a Piko set on the second floor, which has some nice dynamic lighting and many lovely details. In all, however, the museum is a bit disappointing. All exhibits are safely behind plexiglass, and while it's understandable with all the children, it is difficult to view all the details this way. You will no doubt have children running around you during your visit mashing all the buttons to operate the trains. There's a very sad coffee corner, and unfortunately no cafes nearby.

Interesting and detailed model railway exibitions. Could wstch the trains go round all day. A good place to spend an hour or so on a rainy day. Kids will love it?. Free parking at the P&R next door.

What a little gem! The museum looks very beautiful and exhibits the great history of trains and small train. All done by amateurs and volunteers. A must visit when in Sneek! :)

Nice Museum for Kids and Train-Fans

Awesome personnel, the things are very cute and many interactive dioramas which make the kids crazy

Relatively small museum with a couple of true gems that still make it worth a visit. Good for children

Pretty nice. Many detailed landscapes, trains and stations.

Not that big but workable. A lot of exhibits and play corner for kids. For an adult is not very big, but it’s fair for kids. They can play LEGO and other train toys here.
