★★★★★6 months agothe police museum is on site of a police academy, so once you're past the gates, it does feel a bit unreal if you're not used to so many people in uniform and vehicles with all kinds of sirens around you. the whole thing is fenced in and they take down your name for security reasons, so I felt almost intimidated at first. the museum itself is actually free to visit for children, and I didn't come with high expectations. my kid wanted to ride that helicopter, so we went to ride that helicopter, but I truly underestimated the exhibitions. it's actually super interesting and informative and all the staff on site were wonderful. definitely worth checking out, although it's a little off the grid.

I will definitely visit it again ( without children) to spend more time in reading the several cases
