★★★★★2 months agoMaybe a little pricey, but incredible. They also have building models from the "Das Boot" movie. That was a good call. If you are not into subs at all, maybe it doesn´t worth it. It would be great if they opened up other sectors!!!

★★★★★2 months agoLovely tour with our guide Rainer. Great explanation for everything, though everything is quite narrow and ceilings are low, but it's nice the guide pointed it out before hand. Tours are only available in german which makes sense since it's a really small museum. Can definitely recommend, especially with a tour from Rainer very funny guy.
