Christmas at the Danish Railway Museum

Christmas crafts and an adventure among the old trains

In December, the museum invites children to get creative with the Couplings. They can make traditional Danish paper cones, Christmas hearts and baubles featuring the popular locomotive characters, while Engine Master Busse gets ready for Christmas.

From 5 December, families can also experience the Couplings’ Christmas adventure. Fittingly, the story takes place inside an old railway carriage, where visitors can settle in and hear the tale of a mysterious light at the museum. Locomotive friends Karen, Odin and Køf are part of the story.

The museum’s miniature train also runs during the Christmas season. The ride takes around five minutes, and if one trip is not enough, you are welcome to go for another.

Build Christmas scenes with DUPLO

From 20 December and throughout the Christmas holidays, the Danish Railway Museum brings out its large boxes of DUPLO. Children can build railway tracks and Christmas scenes, combining trains with some festive fun. The museum even encourages children to come in their pyjamas and settle down among the building blocks.

The Christmas holidays are a great opportunity to explore the museum while giving children plenty of time to build and play.

Visit the museum on Christmas Eve

If the family is looking for something to do before Christmas dinner and presents, the Danish Railway Museum is also open on 24 December from 9 am to 1 pm. There are Christmas activities as well as the chance to take a ride on the miniature train. Children and young people aged 17 and under have free admission, while adults receive a 50% discount on admission on Christmas Eve.

Children and young people under 18 also have free admission to the museum throughout the rest of the year, and the Christmas activities are included in the admission price.
