    If you are tech entusiast and love to see german technology this is the place, even if you dont have kids lol. Didnt had too much time but managed to check all important sections and even a remote car collection in other building. It wasnt that crowded. Went there around 13h.

    Amazing, totally worth it. Perfect for a rainy day, takes around 2/3 hours to see everything. Boats and Airplanes exhibition was fantastic. There's a lot of interactive stuff for all ages to learn and have fun.
