A really interesting exposition on technology from many domains - computers, radio & TV, cars, railways, paper production, clothes production, etc. The place is huge so it's hard to do all in one go so you have to prioritize. For me, the highlights were the parts on radio and telegraph (including the Enigma machine), computers and cars. But everyone can... More

Everything imaginable regarding technology is there, from flying machines to incredible numbers of trains, boats, textile machinery, hat making exhibits. We went for the kids, but we would highly recommend this for adults. ....even outdoor windmills! More

This museum is enormous - there is so much to see! I would definitely allow at least three hours to go through it, maybe stopping for lunch/snack break in the middle as it does get a bit tiring. We found the restaurant in the museum to be good, with reasonable prices and good service. There are also picnic areas if... More

Buttons to push everywhere you look full size planes and boats also a great train section, this covers the whole of technical history right from the beginnings right up to current day. All the displays are both in German and English so you won't miss out on anything and the kids will love it too! More

Close to Gleisdreieck U Bahn, this is an all-day event. I ducked out at lunch time as the café is very limited. The positive is that the ticket is for the full day so re-entry is not an issue. With so much to see it is worth planning your day. The Museum is popular with school groups of all ages,... More
