Skjoldenæsholm Tram Museum
The Skjoldenæsholm Tram Museum is a living museum and a moving museum. You experience public transportation as it appeared in the late 1800s and 1900s.
There are operating trams from the three Danish tram cities of Copenhagen, Odense, and Aarhus, as well as from a number of cities in Europe. Even a tram from Melbourne, Australia, can be experienced.
In the depots, there are posters and exhibitions about tram operations. We also exhibit a mock-up of a light rail vehicle from the upcoming light rail along Ring 3, from Lundtofte to Ishøj. In connection with the mock-up, there is an exhibition about light rails.
The trams normally run every 10 minutes, and once the entrance fee is paid, it’s free to ride the electric trams all day. The trip goes through the museum and out into the forest to the terminus Eilers Eg, where the café car is located, and you can enjoy food that you’ve bought or brought with you.
On selected days, you can ride a horse-drawn tram ("Hønen") from 1876 and a horse omnibus from 1897 (for a fee).
In the bus exhibition hall, about 30 buses are displayed, illustrating the development of bus operations over the last approximately 140 years. On many opening days, you can take a ride in one of the museum’s vintage buses around Valsølille Lake and enjoy the beautiful Zealand countryside (for a fee).
On certain days, there is bus service with one of the museum’s buses from Borup Station to the museum and back. Check the travel planner or see the timetable here: Bus from/to Borup Station.
On most opening days, free guided tours are arranged at the museum, where you can go behind the barriers and, among other things, see the workshop and the trams that are being restored or awaiting restoration.
The Skjoldenæsholm Tram Museum is run on a voluntary and unpaid basis by members of the Tram Historical Society.
