Wow! Cool! That’s what visitors, and especially children, say after a few minutes in this 21,500-sq-foot museum in Lucerne, located right on Lake Lucerne.

With as many as 850,000 visitors a year, the museum is Switzerland’s most popular attraction of its type.

From space capsules to trains (big ones, as well as miniature ones that run through the grounds), to airplanes and helicopters and automobiles, from the latest media technologies and interactive hands-on exhibits to a cycle park, the Swiss Transport Museum displays more than 3,000 objects, plenty to keep two kids busy for a while.

Kaitlyn Luetgert, 9, and her brother Kellen, 6, from the Chicagoland area, spent an afternoon at the Museum with their parents, and their mother Amy Luetgert filed this photo report of their experiences.

The Luetgert kids “sign on” as airline pilots and flight attendants.
Kellen says, “I could spend a whole day here!”
“No problem, let’s walk under this steam engine,” urges Kellen.
With a facade like this, anything is possible inside the Museum.
