Top 5 Budget-friendly Things to do in Angelholm, Skane County

I reviewed this attraction last year after discovering it, and said it was absolutely perfect for a rainy day. This is still the case, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. But there seemed to be one update from 2016 to 2017. There was now a fully translated English booklet they can give out to the English speakers who aren't sure of the many display signs and do genuinely want to learn more about the railway. It meant that my wife could now also follow along on the stories, a few of which are really quite interesting and adorable. There's one about a heart-broken 22-year-old which is genuinely quite moving. You'll know it when you see it/read it. As for the entertainment, there are a few absolute highlights. The kids were massive fans of the very large miniature railroad which plays a little film about the development of trains, with each type of train (and a very funky horse and cart) moving when the story moves to their part. Then at the end they all go racing around. Very funky. The kids also loved the kids play area right near the cafe/shop on the right. Lots of toys and lego/duplo type stuff to play with, lots of model railways, and a small pretend train. My kids (6 and 2) spent about an hour just in there, while I sat on the side taking it easy, and my wife went around actually learning about railways and trains. And the occasional panel about bears. I didn't fully grasp what my wife was talking about, but that's likely a marriage problem rather than a railway museum problem. We also really enjoyed the miniature railway museum on the outside of the museum itself, which for 10kr per person you can ride around twice. Perfect for small kids. Overall, I still contend this is a fantastic way to spend a day/afternoon when visiting Skåne, and would heartily recommend to anyone with kids or an interest in trains. Even the casual railway enthusiast should come out of there more well-versed in trains.
