Transportation Museum

Today we went to the transportation museum.  Not surprisingly, the SL system had put a bus stop at the front door.  I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from a museum that details the history of public transportation in Stockholm but we had an amazing time.  It was very kid friendly.  There was a small train that you rode though the museum, you could try your hand at driving a subway train, stamp train tickets in the teller booth and Ellie’s personal favorite – tables of brio trains and track.  There were real buses and subway cars from each decade that you could climb aboard.  It was amazing to see how they changed from the beginning to now. 
Boats were the first form of public transportation in Stockholm

Horse drawn public transportation.

Ellie's favorite.  She couldn't reach so she climbed on up.
