"Housed in a historic station in Schaerbeek, this railway museum showcases thousands of artifacts including an original 19th-century bridge, the 1842 Pays de Waes (the oldest preserved locomotive in Continental Europe), royal train sets and Trans Europ Express cars; it offers family-friendly events and exhibitions, with tickets starting at around €5." - James Wong

Lovely museum with trains ranging from the old times till the latest. There are so many types of them and in some coaches you can even go inside! Fantastic history. Fun place for both adults and the kids! Takes around 2-3 hours to see in peace! Definitely recommended!

An amazing experience for everyone, from families with children, couples or solo travellers. This museum is definitely worth the visit, with its huge collection of locomotives, models, and trivia of the Belgian railway system. I highly recommend the Type 12 train - you won’t miss it, it’s absolutely stunning, green and is undoubtedly the central focus of the museum. I was in awe at how huge it was! It reminded me of the Emerald City Express from Wicked! The filmmakers may have been inspired by the Type 12. We visited over the Easter weekend. There was no wait at the ticket office and whichever staff member we approached, they all spoke English and were happy to assist. If you’re in Brussels, don’t hesitate to plan your visit to Train World!

One of the best museums we visited with our kids. So many trains! You can get in many locomotives and wagons. So many information about trains and railway “life”. We spent there about 2 hours and a half. There is also a simulation of train control.

A huge extensive museum of Belgian Railroad history. We had "only" 2,5h for our visit, but if you pack lunch you can easily spend 4h there as well. There are models, components and a lot of original rolling stock - even a segment of a steel railway bridge from the late 19th century.

We absolutely loved visiting Train World! If you’re a fan of trains or have kids who are into them (like ours!), this place is a dream. The whole museum is so well put together, with a perfect mix of old and new trains on display. You can actually walk through some of the older locomotives, which gives you a real sense of how train travel used to be, and it’s fascinating. The attention to detail is amazing, and there’s plenty of interactive elements that keep both kids and adults entertained. Our toddler was completely captivated by everything, and we had just as much fun exploring the exhibits. The layout is great for wandering around at your own pace, and you can easily spend hours here without getting bored. The staff were really friendly, and the whole experience was both educational and fun. They’ve done a fantastic job of making it engaging for all ages, whether you’re a train enthusiast or just curious. If you’re visiting Brussels and looking for something a bit different, we c!an’t recommend Train World enough – it’s a brilliant experience
