Verkehrshaus der Schweiz, Lucerne, Switzerland
Verkehrshaus der Schweiz, Lucerne, Switzerland Head inside the Swiss Museum of Transport with your entrance ticket and explore at leisure. The museum charts the development of rail, air, space, road and water travel with hands-on exhibits, simulators and multimedia displays. Your ticket gives you access to its key exhibition halls and areas, filled with more than 3,000 displays, making for a fun day out for adults and kids.
Visit the Aviation Hall to view historic aircraft and flying machines. The museum takes its exhibits to new heights with flight simulators that give you the rush of operating an airplane, helicopter, or hang glider.
When it's time to get grounded, walk around the Rail Transport Hall to see steam locomotives and model railways, and try your hand at negotiating tunnels, signals and bridges in train simulators.
Zoom over to the Road Transport Hall for the history of automobiles and to view 20 of the world’s most iconic cars. You can even turn into a crash-test dummy to experience a bruise-free collision in one interactive exhibit.
Other attractions include the Navigation Hall with its fascinating seagoing displays; the i-factory covering information technology; and the Swissarena where you can walk across a one-of-a-kind aerial photo of Switzerland that takes up an entire room.
Most people find two–three hours in the museum is sufficient, but your ticket lets you explore for as long as you like. For a supplement you can also visit the museum’s domed planetarium to witness its dazzling astronomical shows, and its Filmtheater to watch spectacular 3D and high-definition movies.

Ein sehr lehrreicher und schöner Besuch mit den Kindern. Eine Möglichkeit, an einem Ort viel zu erleben und die Vorstellungskraft zu entwickeln.

You sometimes transfigure a lot of what was in childhood. So are the visits to the traffic house. When we went to the transport house with friends this January, we all became very disappointed and disillusioned. It began at the ticket office, where an admission fee of 35 francs was payable. Not too much if the centerpiece of the exhibition, train and rail, had not been closed. What? That is why we went from Basel to Lucerne. A transport house without trains and without model railway is not worth a visit. The tickets were therefore not offered cheaper. What unacceptable behavior.
The disappointment continued. We're in the traffic hall, right? At least we didn't understand what a Hans Erni Museum, the Schoggi adventure and other exhibitions (Oris-Watch, for example) were going to do in the Transport House? Omega as part of the moon landing would have been somehow understandable.
The question also remains what sense a chaotic car show should make, which is a core part of Monteverdi's, but otherwise there are randomly and almost indiscriminately displayed nice or less nice cars, which make no sense in this compilation.
Parts of the exhibition make an almost bleak impression and outdoors, the ravages of time gnaw at an accelerated pace in many places.
We are saddened - and will not come back.

This is our third visit to this museum. It’s a great place where we can easily spend the whole day with our children. We’ve previously been in warmer months and spent a lot of our time outside in the play areas but as it was colder we decided to spend more time indoors this time round. There’s plenty of chances for the children to be hands on with exhibits and we found plenty of boards translated into English. We also included the Lindt experience which is both informative and enjoyable so that the children actually listened to what was being said. They particularly liked the chocolate at the end! There’s a fairly good cafe on site for lunch and the bus and train stops directly outside so easy to get to from central Lucerne if you didn’t fancy the walk. We would definitely return if we were in the area again.
