Rambolitrain Museum: the kingdom of the miniature train!
Relive your childhood at the Rambolitrain Museum! Nestled in the heart of Rambouillet, it is a must-see for fans of model trains and railway history. On the program: workshops and activities for the whole family.
Easily accessible on foot or by car from the Best Western Amarys hotel in Rambouillet, the Rambolitrain Museum is one of a kind!
You will discover a rich collection of toy trains and scale models. And immerse yourself in the history of the railway since the 19th century. By car!
The Rambolitrain Museum, labeled "Musée de France", houses one of the most beautiful collections of model trains in France: nearly 4,000 pieces are exhibited there.
You can admire locomotives, wagons and toy trains dating from the end of the 19th century to the 1950s and 60s.
Visiting the museum is also an opportunity to discover the evolution of railways, from steam locomotives to electric trains.
The reproductions of landscapes, stations and villages are impressively precise and recreate the charm of the railway lines of the past.
A journey imagined by passionate model makers: the 2nd floor of the museum is entirely occupied by this network of 400 meters of railway tracks!
Back to the 1930s: you will see the trains leaving from the Gare de l'Est, which is teeming with passengers, the locomotive depot, the allotment gardens along the railway line...
Download the "Les enquêtes de Anne Mésia" and "Anne Mésia au Rambolitrain" apps for your children for free.
They will have to free the museum struck by a spell, by solving mysteries and taking on challenges! With a diploma of memory awakener and a souvenir photo as a key.
The most handy will be able to build and program a Lego train. Unless you prefer to solve The Theodor Märklin Affair, an escape game to do with the family.
When you return from your visit, sit down in the lounge bar area of the restaurant of the Best Western Amarys hotel, La table de Baptiste.
