★★★★★2 months agoA must-see during your stay in Hamburg. Whether you have children, enjoy illusions or tricks, your age, or your hobbies, you're sure to love it here. I'd happily spend several or even several dozen minutes at each attraction. So much detail that it's overwhelming. Fantastic. Just watch and think...

★★★★★7 months agoWe had such fun at this museum and spent around 1.5 hrs there. Staff is very friendly and is also happy to help with taking photos :) I really had to force myself to playing with the wooden puzzle because it was so challenging to solve them! As other visitors stated, it's a small place indeed but with entertaining activities on a cold winter day ;)
