Museum Hoorn-Medemblik

We are lucky to join Bello Festival!
Very special experience!

What a wonderful adventure! Feels like you’ve travelled through time.

There is a little cafe and museum at the station. The train has a stop at another station on the way to Medemblick, where you can explore how it looked in the past.

The road is especially beautiful when the tulip fields are blooming!

The steam tram commences from this point. Make sure you get your tickets in advance for easy boarding. Though they sell tickets on the location as wel. Here u find their museum shop a small museum and a cafe you can get a quick bite. Parking is in the weekend for free but check as in NL that may change.

Perfect! Enjoy the steam train ride from Hoorn to Medemblik, then the boat trip around the coastline. Wonderful experience and all easily accessible via the NS stations.

Amazing ride on a Christmas steam train. Great experience for kids to travel on a real steam train and also meet Santa and get a little present. And the tour of the museum on the way back, that was also very interesting and fun. Totally recommend for the families with kids, or even babies.

Fantastic day out, we took the train, then the boat, I would recommend this. Friendly staff. All 3 towns a very nice, good eating places. Makes a great day out. Easy to get to Hoorn by train from Amsterdam.

Beautiful to see all of these steam trains in working condition. The ride with Bello was amazing. The staff was super friendly and inviting. They're happy to show you every bit of their steam engines. 5 out of 5 stars without a doubt!

Big thanks to all people who work for this project! Very friendly and helpful stuff.
I only expected that it will be just a train ride.. But it was a whole entertainment! All those.. actors dressed in retro clothes and uniform, old Citroën from 1953, nicely decorated station in Twisk and not to forget beautiful farms and landscapes, great weather - that was all details which made our trip sooo wonderful and unforgettable!
Everything is so good organized:
we bought an option with train ride from Hoorn to Medemblik, then we had an hour in the last station (to discover beautiful old center and yacht harbor)
Then boat trip from Medemblik to Zuiderzeemuseum and we spent the rest of the day there.
It’s all convenient with times, place of departure and arrival. There is map with tour details and places to see, you can order lunch or just drinks (while the stop pause in Twisk in the train, or on a boat, or then in museum)
First we had purchased tickets for certain day in August but due to train failure from Amsterdam to Hoorn for few hours we were not able to come.. Big thanks to all employees who helped us with rescheduling our trip and finding possibility to have sits on other suitable day. Great people!

Been taking my kids here since they were 2 or 3 years old. Absolutely love it and kids are always kept occupied with the puzzles etc.
Free with Museumkaart and that’s a lot of fun for nothing!

It was such a wonderful day trip with stoomtrum under the blue sky. You’ll see the colorful tulip gardens from the SL. Kids must love to watch the view. Small snacks help your trip even more attractive.

Very nice museum and nice things to see if you're interested in trains and travelling in former times. At the station in Hoorn there's a small museum from which you can obtain some information regarding this service and such means of transport in general. I visited it on the special "Sinterklaas" days and especially on this day there were a lot of children around and the staff treated all the visitors very well and of course they were so friendly towards the children. The boat trip was also very good and extended the trip in a good and fresh way.
I recommend it (not only) for family trips!

Good day out for kids (family) who loves trains. The train and boat ride was great. The route followed by train was pleasant. Museum staffs were friendly.

Nice place to visit, nice train ride, go take the ride, with your family, kids friends partner, you can choice the after the ride to Medemblik to go further by boat or ride back, you have time then you ride back to see Medemblik and when you back in Hoorn you can see the town too

Delightful little place, wonderful trip back into the past.

This is rather a steam tram station which I would say. In a small room next to the cashier, there are a few small items to show the history of steam tram in the Netherlands. All the visitors will get on the steam tram in this station(museum??). And the steam tram will travel from Hoorn through Wogum, Twisk, Opperdoes and finally Medemblik. One can choose to return by tram or travel by ship from Medemblik to Enkhuizen. I went by ship and got off in Zuiderzeemuseum. It is one stop before Enkhuizen. It was a sunny and windy day and the sea was pretty and full of sailing boats. One should come back to travel by steam tram again.

Had such a great time riding the steam train from Hoorn to Medemblik. The trains and stations are in pristine restored condition and everything was just lovely. Highly recommended!

We went on a trip with the steam train and then the boat to Enkhuizen. We really enjoyed it.

It costs about 21 euros for trip to Enkhuizen with steam train anf boat. Free if you have a museum card.

The train is vintage. From the coaches to the actual driver which is from 1922.

Yes there is a toilet on the train. In some of the coaches you cannot open windows so in hot days it gets really warm.

They crew walk through the coaches and sell drinks, coffee and Dutch pancakes.

Side note, We could not find a trash bin on any coach.

Great experience to enjoy the train and the ship with family. The birds flew around the ship. The view is great.

Between Hoorn and Medemblik, the steam tram took us through beautiful places. Fantastic value for money.

The playground (with litten trains) and the guides were the best. My kids say thanks for the interesting and nice day.

If you want you can ride a train
