About this school trip

Train World is the railway museum of the Belgian national railway company (NMBS/SNCB), housed in the atmospheric art nouveau station of Schaerbeek and an adjoining new museum complex. The museum is designed to be interactive: much of the collection can be touched. This gives pupils a lively introduction to railway heritage and the history of the train.

There is a wide range for schools that ties in with the curriculum: guided tours with guides and actors, educational packs with preparatory lesson material and assignments, and creative, musical workshops for primary schools. Bookings are made by email at least three weeks in advance, so plan your visit in good time.

We are happy to take care of transport to Schaerbeek for you and your pupils. The theme may be trains, but we bring your group comfortably and safely by coach almost to the door, with an experienced driver who takes care of the whole journey for you.
