Lots of things to look at, and lots of information, so great if you're into all things transport. We paid to go into the film theatre, but left a quarter of the way through, as we wondered why we were watching a film instead of seeing Lucerne! We don't have kids, but it looked like a great place to bring... More

Beautifully preserved historical vehicles and great interactive tools and games for all to enjoy. Worth the entrance fee - come by public transport as parking is expensive and busy.

This rivals the air and space museum in DC and includes every other form of transportation. Also perfect for kids since there are many hands on exhibits. If you are near the train station in Luzern, take the train to the museum. And tell the ticket agent you are going to the museum and they will sell you the round... More

It’s astounding to see what all man invented to go faster, higher, deeper. The various exhibits give us a very good idea, how transportation and communications developed over the years. It’s very fascinating, also for children, that you are allowed to touch things, to feel how they work. Have you ever flown a plane? Try it here, be the pilot... More

Our kids (3.5 and 5) love this museum, and for this reason we have become members for the second year running. There is tons for them to do and it is very interactive. The museum is divided into different easy-to-navigate sections - cars, boats/ cable cars, planes and trains. There is a highly addictive marble display, all about Switzerland and... More

There is a ridiculous - in a good way - number of trains in this museum. There are other wings covering, for example, nautical transport and road transport, but the trains really take up the most space. If you're a train buff, you'll be all set. The kids loved almost everything, even if many of the presentations were fairly corporate.... More

Great, huge, fun museum with a lot of interactive exhibits. Favorite is the jewel box theater where the audience can pick what cars are chosen from a massive wall of showcased cars. The Swiss F1 car is usually picked (no surprise). Loved the locomotives & the building made of real road signs (one is fake; the challenge is to find... More
