Murat Kurnaz
★★★★★3 weeks agoA must-visit museum in Prague! Even if you aren't a hardcore tech enthusiast, this place is fascinating. The main transport hall alone is well worth the admission fee, featuring a breathtaking display of historic vehicles, trains, and aircraft. The exhibits on astronomy and timekeeping were also personal favorites. The museum is very spacious, well-organized, and budget-friendly. Make sure to give yourself at least 2 or 3 hours to fully appreciate it. A hidden gem in Prague that deserves a solid 5 stars!

★★★★★a month agoA lovely museum, suitable for children. Not every exhibit can be touched, but there are some that can. The entrance floor (floor 0) is stunning! There are several floors to the museum and it's not sure you can do it all in one go if you come with small children. There is a nice food area on floor minus 1 and the proximity to the park allows for a full day of touring the museum and walking in the park.
