Märklin Museum, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany
3.5 (98 reviews) Friday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #2 in Goppingen Speciality Museums
Nice museum for Model Rail buffs.
Good little Museum if your into Model trains …. Otherwise not really really that much to offer. Museum is over 3 floors & costs €10 1) Fantastic Ho layout in basement covering 200 m2 (I would estimate) 2) history of toys from companies pre Márklin, mostly tin plate 3) history of Márklin / Minitrix etc products, and the opportunity to briefly view the production line. There is also a free to enter large shop stocking only Márklin / Minitrix products, plus some other scenic accessories by Noch / Faller etc. and a small cafe.

Where have the pride and the love gone?!
I'm a long standing Märklin fan (as used to be my dad, who got his first Märklin steam engine in the 1930's) and a Märklin Insider member and I looked forward to my first visit of the Märklin Museum / Experience. But as my wife said literally: Where have the pride and the love for these wonderful products gone. Yes, there are some beautiful pieces on display, but there is also a lot of dust and the Experience elements are not functioning, at least not when we were there! Dear Märklin staff, please take pride in your wonderful products and history and honor the millions of dedicated customers by bringing pride and joy in what you share and show!

Only if you happen to be in Göppingen
It was a very small museum, but it took you through the produced trains of Märklin from the begining to the end,but I had expected more. Don't go to Göppingen only for this I would say. Only spent 20 minutes there. Great for children and model train fanatics.
