Auto & Technik Museum Sinsheim

This past weekend we finally went to the Auto & Technik Museum Sinsheim.  It is a large museum that houses over 3,000 exhibits from all areas of technical history.  There are two large buildings full of old expensive vehicles, trains, and there are even a number of airplanes you can explore on top of the buildings.  There are also many war vehicles and tanks located outside the museum that are part of the exhibit.  The museum was very educational and a great place to see the history of automobiles and technology throughout the world.

In addition to the museum there is also a small amusement park outside the museum that looks like a lot of fun.  Caden is too young to ride on the rides now but there is a park he could play at.  Sadly we didn't have enough time to let him play at the park this time since we spent so much time in the museum.  There is also an IMAX 3D film theater.  Collin and I hope to go back and see an IMAX sometime on a date.  We just need to find a babysitter.

Here are lots of pictures.  Enjoy!
