Miriam Estevez
★★★★★a month agoIt was free entrance but it's so well design and interactive that we did a donation. Absolutely recommendable, with or without kids! It's sad to see some negatives reviews regarding their political point of view, how is going the world, we really need more museums like these!
Hasham Qazi
★★★★★a month agoVisited Futurium recently and really enjoyed it. The museum is modern, interactive, and full of interesting ideas about the future of technology and society. I liked that you can explore and try things yourself instead of just reading information. The Skywalk on the rooftop was a nice surprise and offered some great views of Berlin. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something different and inspiring! The entrance is free.
