German Museum of Technology Reviews
Rated out of 5
This huge museum has a lot to offer for everyone irrespective of their age. It was almost the whole day we spent there. A small park also exists for the kids to relax. Family tickets are cheaper compared to other museums. Limited free parking spaces but we were lucky to get one. Recommended!

Simply an amazing museum in every single aspect. The variety of technological areas covered across ample historical spans, the remarkable quality of the pieces and the tastefulness of the displays just to mention a few of the museums highlights. Even the restaurant offers very decent meals compared to other similar places.

There is plenty to see! They have a wide variety of expositions that could keep you busy for hours. The only problem is that sometimes the expositions are not really that clear and coherent. However i would still highly recommend to go!

If you are interested in technology, do not miss the opportunity to visit the museum. There's plenty for everyone to see here, from kids to engineers to tech enthusiasts. There are huge collections of textile machines, computers, boats, trains and planes from different periods. Walking through the corridors, you will feel like you are walking through time. It would be nice to have a drink in the cafe at the end of the visit. You will need a lot of time to visit this place, so make sure you organize your agenda well.
