★★★★★3 months agoBeautiful space to enjoy and learn about of life in Wien. In a few years a go, learn about Sissi Queen and all Royalty around of Austria. In a nice and dynamic style to enjoy in Kinder Museum. I'm really enjoy this visit with my all family.
Grace Hawley
★★★★★4 months agoAmazing experience for kids and parents alike. The front room is a large open space where you can dress up as Viennese Royalty. There are many rooms where touching, smelling, and playing is encouraged. You get insight to life at the palace was like, especially for kids. Highly recommend! 12 euros for a tickets regardless of age.
