DAF Museum in Eindhoven
Description
Perfect Museum about history producent of DAF pasenger cars and trucks.
Great place to visit, you can spend there at least hour, but probably more, depends on your interest in cars. Especially for kids is an amazing place. There are some snacks, nice fast packed soups and coffee just to sit and talk.
MoreKids love this place and also grown ups who are into motorized vehicles
What a pleasant surprise! So much more than what I expected. The staff members are very friendly. The exhibitions are in excellent condition. The whole facility is neat and clean and the number of variants on display is amazing. Add this to your list of places to see when visiting Eindhoven.
MoreNice nostalgia of a heroic past of trucks and personal cars. The invention of the continuous variable transmission made it into cars, trucks, F1, and is still one of the most important transmissions today.Very friendly people, and next to the city centre.
MoreGreat museum for who are interested in cars/design/technic. So many special one-off models. All in perfect condition. I enjoyed it a lot!
MoreI recommend 🙂 if there was a good driving and steering simulator it would be great
MoreNice and kids friendly museum in Eindhoven.
Limited english content. If you dont know Dutch, you might miss most of the info presented in the museum.
MoreIf you are any bit of a petrolhead then you will find this very enjoyable. Lots of different DAF vehicles from down through the years including the racing variants that competed in the Dakar rally and circuit truck racing.
MoreCars, trucks, buses... Nicely done museum of moto industry.You can check how it is to seat in truck/bus drivers seat. Several inventions in truck design are presented in a simple way.Variomatic transmission (present in almost all DAF carsis described nicely.
MoreSo much from the history of DAF and their production of cars and trucks. If you are interested in this stuff and take your time to read and explore everything, it takes a few hours to get through it. However, it is a pity that new DAF XF trucks have not been added yet.As a foreigner, I was sometimes let down as not all texts are translated into English.
MoreVery nice museum ✌️ a didnt know that DAF produced pkw-s 😳😁 the price of the ticket is ok (11 euro/ adult), there is a restaurant and a toilette
MoreNice museum if your into the history of automobils.
A really fantastic place and the staff were so incredibly helpful and accommodating. We had a group of 15 people from ages 13 to 60 and there was something for everyone there. Great things for the kids, interactive exhibitions and fascinating cars and history (and a great cafe). It was a fantastic day out and I can’t stress just how great the staff were. Thank you!!
MoreWe’ll worth a tour €11 for Adults and €9!for students. Coming from Ireland I would have been very familiar with the Truck side of things but didn’t realise the cars they sold were very popular in the 60/70’s. The museum will well laid out over three floors with lots of military and race vehicles as well as the retail cars and trucks we’d normally see on the roads of Europe.
MoreThe museum is very interesting with vehicles of all sorts. I went along to company my husband but I was entertained as well as some of the vehicles are way out. Would recommend a visit for anyone mildly interested in automobile and how it has evolved over the years.
MoreVery nice museum to visit with kids. My son was thrilled. It was the first museum he ever visited, since he is only 3 years old. Only would be better if they had some ice cream in the restaurant 😊😊
MoreGreat museum about the history of DAF with lots of trucks and cars on display. Quite interactive and plenty of interesting stuff for kids. If youre not so much into automotive things this may not be a museum for you.
MoreGreat, attentive customer service. Informative and fun. Very reasonably priced entrance and café. Only thing it was missing was a driving simulator which I read online they had.
MoreWow! It was wow effect from 4 years old boy to 37 years old girl😄 you should visit!
MoreIIn spite of fact that I do not have any clue about cars, this museum was interesting for me. On the upper floor you can see old series cars, some exclusives, some bolids. On the ground floor a lot of trucks, a bit of military technic and special vehicles like garbage lorry. This all I found absloute exciting. Also museum has a lot of small car models and different parts of vehicles like motors and axles, which you can see close and detailed. So, it is musthave for carfans and also good option for just a people who wanted to nice spend a couple of hours.
MoreNice place to visit when in Eindhoven. Cool to see how the engine works and you can also see from sketch to real car. Very cool!
MoreLovely way to spend a couple of hours
Rarely leave reviews but this place deserves one. Easily the best Museum Ive visited, looks small from the outside but inside there is so much to see. Everything is so clean and well presented, seeing the 1992 Williams F1 car was a personal, unexpected highlight. Visited Eindhoven to watch Leicester play PSV but the museum alone was arguably worth the flight over.
MoreWicked museum chronicling the history of the company.Dedicated volunteers and employees. Excellent visual aids that describes some of their innovations in the 90s
MoreNice museum with old cars, trucks and other vehicles. There is a cafe and gift shop inside. Not busy on a Sunday, perfect to spend some time around the city.
MoreGrate place for petrolheads, and all technical lovers. I hardy recommend visiting it.
MoreA great place, a lot of interesting cars. Museum and exhibitions very neat. Nice and helpful employees.
MoreNice museum for adults and older kids. We came here with our 3 year old and at one point he was rather bored - there isn’t much entertainment for young kids. They can sit in a couple of truck cabins and busses, but that’s pretty much it.Very interesting for those who love cars and trucks/history and are interested in development of the engines over the years etc. It was very unclear for us whether there was a carpark or not so we just parked in the area on a street there.
MoreYou can see the progress timeline of automobile industry in the Netherlands in the type of vehicles. Its also could be very interesting for children.
MoreUnique museum showcasing some of the best when it comes to automotive engineering. The cafe has super nice snacks too
MoreVery interesting museum with lot of cars to see. I have to recomend to everybody. You can park somewhere around in the streets. There is also few public underground parking spots max 10 minutes walking distance. Inside bufet and gan shop.
MoreWhat a amazing place. There are many technical stories with comfortable show rooms. You will learn a lot here, also you will enjoy the coffee and apple pipes here. They are tasty.
MoreI loved it. Many facts I didn’t know about. Being it made by enthusiasts, I was glad to support. Highly recommended!
MoreMuseum not very big but interesting and very nicely built in historic building with nice exposition. Collection of trucks, buses and the small DAF passenger cars - including some very nice concepts and one offs - do not miss the Willem Alexander special built beach car for the Royal family (see photos). Also some DAF military vehicles and the very impressive Paris-Dakar rally trucks.Also the technics of the very special Variomatic is nicely shown.
MoreReally amazed to learn about this vehicle manufacturers history. The museum reveals the companys adoption of CVT in road cars and even race cars before they focused on building only Trucks and commercial vehicles. I was awestruck by the Williams FW15c CVT here.
MoreParadise for anyone who appreciates vintage cars.They have English leaflet with lots of information and display information is in two languages. Cars speak "car" language anyway.If you want to get up close with engine, it a place for you.Inside, outside, underneath...climb, sit, hug...
MoreA really nice museum. The vehicles are well presented, clean and seems like most of them are complete and in running condition. Would definitely recommend it as something to do in Eindhoven.
MoreGreat place to visit if you are interested in the brand. Lots of beautiful trucks and cars and of course the Dakar trucks. We had a blast.
MoreIt was very educative and more than the history, we loved we could see how the engines works. The cars are spotless and everything is very clean. The sandwiches from the cafeteria are not bad either.There is also a gift shop at the exit.
MoreDAF Museum. Entry Ticket - €9:00.Museum telling the story of the DAF brand, displaying trucks & rare production & prototype vehicles in Eindhovens, Netherlands.
MoreOpened DAF for myself today. Really nice - with real cars, buses and trucks.Would be good if signs would be in English too.Staff in souvenirs shop could have been more polite.
MoreGreat little museum full of wonderful old vehicles and machinery. Tells the story of one of the more interesting vehicle manufacturers very well and the staff are very friendly and welcoming
MoreReally interesting museum. Not even a big fan of trucks. Didnt know daf did cars until at the museum. Fire trucks, military trucks, race trucks, rally trucks. Bus truck? Basket type car. Apparently daf made aeroplane landing gear too. No English information. Would recommend learning Dutch before visiting if you want to read the signs in the museum.
MoreYou can see the history of passenger cars, military trucks and lovely trucks. There are also different types of engines. There are some great movies about military, racing, firefighting and commercial trucks. Dont miss it.To visit the place carefully you need around 4 hours. The staffs are great.The only drawback was that the explanation for passenger cars were just in Dutch!
MoreVery educational, great fun for both kids and adults. The amount of items on display and things to get into was staggering. The tech department could use some upgrading though (computer programs getting errors/not working and out-dated video material).
MoreAn amazing museum for any auto or transport enthusiast. The staff are friendly, speak multiple languages, there are countless interactive displays, and best of all they allow you to sit inside certain DAF semi cabins.There is also a full cafe and even a bar inside.
MoreThe overall experience is awesome. Although information in English and other languages than Dutch should be made available.
MoreBeautifully kept museum, run primarily by volunteers. Plenty to see and learn, especially for the kids. A healthy dose of nostalgia for those of us that have been around a bit longer.
