It was amazing and there is SO much too watch and look on. They have so many restored airplanes, boats, engines and other things. I recomend it greatly for tourists and locals alike.

Definitely worth a visit. Layout of the museum can be found on internet to help you navigate around the museum, there are lots of sections to visit. I spend four hour but you can spend full day in there. 12 Euro entry(6 if you have berlin welcomecard)
Maybe 5-10 percent information signs did not had English writing which did not bothered me. A few areas were under renovation. Went there Saturday noon and it was not crowded that much.
Chemistry section needs a huge upgrade. Even sugar section alone had more information and looked interesting compared to chemistry.

A must-see. Highly recommended. Only the train section is greater than many train museums I've been to. Allow one full day. I visited in December, but want to see the museum once more in summer. It has a beautiful outdoor area worth discovering.

The German Technik Museum is a fantastic place for anyone interested in science, engineering, and history. The exhibits are diverse, covering aviation, railways, maritime history, and more. The aircraft and locomotive sections are especially impressive, with beautifully restored machines on display.
What makes this museum special is its interactive exhibits, making it engaging for both adults and kids. The layout is well-organized, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Plan to spend at least a few hours exploring everything.
Overall, a fascinating and inspiring experience highly recommended!
