On Sunday, October 26, the Teddy Bear Express will be running again!
This special day is entirely dedicated to our youngest visitors.
Children can travel for free on this day when they bring their teddy bear along.

A life-size teddy bear will also be walking around that day.
With all the children’s teddy bears on board, the train ride promises to be cheerful and fun.
Is your teddy bear feeling unwell? No problem!
The Teddy Bear Doctor will have a look at your bear and make it feel better again.

Birthday of the Bears

The teddy bears are celebrating their birthday – and of course, that calls for a party! On this day, there will be a **Bear Disco** in the carriage shed from **1:00 PM to 1:30 PM**.

And furthermore…

In the **carriage shed**, children can play games, get their faces painted, and have fun on the **bouncy castle**. You can also enjoy a short ride on the **handcar (pump trolley)** inside the shed. Tokens for these activities are available at the **museum shop** or in the **station café in Stadskanaal**.

Also on this day

In addition to a ride on our steam train, the following **arrangements** are also available on this day:

• Combination Ticket: Veenkolonie Express
  Your trip with our train can easily be combined with a visit to the Veenkolonial Museum in Veendam — the perfect way to discover the rich history of the East Groningen peat colonies!
