Technik Museum - Speyer

Technik Museum - Speyer

We have been dying to take Colin here for a while now since he is so into airplanes at the moment. About an hour from our house, in Speyer, is a transportation museum that has everything from planes, helicopters, boats, old trains, cars, tractors, and antique machines to a Russian space shuttle and even a U-boat submarine. It is very hands on and you can go inside a lot of the things on display as well as push buttons to watch a little video or make the machine come to life so you can see it work. We left Garmisch in the afternoon and drove about 4 hours to Speyer, where we spent the night in the Technik Museum hotel, which is on the same property. Colin was beside himself when we pulled up and there were planes on display all around the hotel. That night we walked into downtown Speyer and ate dinner and checked out the Speyer Dom church that was there. The next morning we got up and ate breakfast at the hotel and did not let Colin outside or see the planes until we were ready to head over to the museum. Here is his reaction as we rolled out of the hotel in his stroller.


And here is his reaction as we let him out of the stroller and started walking across the empty parking lot to the museum.


Colin had a blast checking everything out and getting to touch and sit in planes and trains. He was so cute as his excitement never waned. He got his fill of airplanes that day and wore himself out!
