This is a magnificent technology museum with many hands-on displays of all sorts of transportation vehicles, from early wooden ships to an Airbus wing and fuselage section. Ships, planes, trains, submarines - everything! Some of the displays include engines (jets, recips, etc.) with handles you can turn to explore how the insides work. I think it was free admission, but there may have been a small charge. One full day is not enough to take this one in!
