Technik Museum Sinsheim with kids - Concorde on the roof and a monster truck inside

Technik Museum Sinsheim is a huge technology museum in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It has over 3,000 exhibits: planes, cars, locomotives, motorbikes and machines. On the roof there are two supersonic passenger planes next to each other, Concorde and the Tu-144, and you can go inside both. We visited on 31 July 2024, on the third day of our campervan holiday through the Alps.

From Zirndorf to Sinsheim

The day before we were at Playmobil FunPark near Nuremberg. In the morning we drove 170 km to Sinsheim. It is a good stop on the way to France or Switzerland.

Our tickets cost 100 €: 23 € for each adult and 18 € for each child. Our youngest went in for free, because children under 5 do not pay.

What we saw in the halls

The halls are packed with machines, and everyone found something interesting. In our photos you can see, among other things:

• the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, one of the first cars,
• a monster truck on giant wheels,
• a huge Caterpillar bulldozer that you can stand on,
• a steam locomotive with a cab you can look into,
• a plane cockpit where you can sit at the controls,
• a slide inside the hall for the youngest.

Planes on the roof

The most famous view in Sinsheim is the planes on the roofs of the halls. Concorde and the Soviet Tu-144 stand next to each other, and the museum says it is the only place in the world where you can see them together. You go up to them on steep stairs, so leave the pushchair downstairs. We had ice cream on the square in front of the hall, with a view of both planes.

Further south in the evening

At 15:00 we set off again. After another 170 km we stopped for the night at Breisgau-Camping am Silbersee. It was raining, so we did not even set up properly and just slept in the van. The next day we reached Lake Paladru in France.
