Was free and we road our bikes to it. We go there on the day that one of the smaller engines was being started. Wish we saw the "big boy" run. Interesting and the staff very friendly and informative. A bonus was the construction being done out side. Had a birds eye view and watch big things move and pick up stuff.

On the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the Month, Dong Engery's 'DieselHuset' opens its doors to show off its 1930's colossal diesel engine. The engine is started at 11:00, and standing on the balcony looking at a diesel engine larger than a number of houses slowing coming up to speed is a remarkable experience. The whole family took part, and indeed the visitors are a mixture of families and 'engineering nuts'. It costs nothing to come in, the staff are charming, and there is a very nicely laid out museum of naval diesel engines - sounds dull but it is nicely related to the demonstration with glass partitions bringing the exhibition space closer to the engine. Really worth a visit, wonderful use of a rainy Sunday!

Well... If you have any interest for large machinery, engines or moving parts what so ever, then this is a must go. Check the webpage for when they start the engines so you get the most out of it. Free admission.
