If you have a kid who loves construction, this is the place for you! This museum is sponsored by the construction company Eberhard, with their older construction vehicles on display. For the kids, there are several different ride-on construction vehicles (forklift, Bobby cars), a mechanical digger to play on, a sandbox for digging, and lots of real trucks to climb on.
It’s not going to fill up a whole day. But if you have young kids who love construction vehicles, this is an easy way to get them their fix, without standing outside of a building site. Ideal for kids from 2-10 years old.

Impressions
There is short walk through a museum of the older construction vehicles and the history of the company.
The walk ends in a big open room with lots of real trucks to climb on and in (this is at your own risk).
There is a sandbox with construction toys and a mechanical digger to play on.
There are several play construction vehicles for small kids to ride on (forklift, Bobby cars).
There is a modern café where you can have a snack or an ice cream.
We asked politely and were told it was ok to not pay the museum entrance and just play in the sandbox and eat in the café (we made a point to buy a couple coffees and ice creams, however it does appear picnic is allowed).
Outside there is an old train car to climb on and an old tower to play under.
The nearby town of Kaiserstuhl (canton Aargau) is listed as a national heritage site and has a lovely old city to wander in.
