A great museum with a lot of worthy exhibitions. And many things for children to join and play. The only pity is that the language choices are not many. For foreign children, only German and English are not enough, at least Dutch audio guide should be available there. But in general, it’s great. Worthy to take 2 hours inside, even it’s not a very big museum, though.

Nice place, it's more for the kids but the elders having an interest in the history would love this. The museum entry ticket is 11 euro for adults but for Children and students it's discounted so much better to visit when you are a student 😀 Overall I just roamed around the outer area and liked the creativity. Good place but better for history fans.

Ein sehr gutes Museum, uns hat es extrem gut gefallen. Sehr gute Ausstellungsstücke, sehr informativ und wunderbar präsentiert. Wir haben hier mehr als 2 Stunden verbracht, wären aber auch länger geblieben, wenn wir zwischendurch etwas anständiges hätten essen können. Es gab oben in der Cafeteria nur süßes und die Restaurants auf dem Außengelände hatten geschlossen. Wir werden auf jeden Fall mit den Kindern im Sommer erneut hierhin kommen und auch den Wanderweg rundherum laufen. Ein Besuch ist es auf jeden Fall Wert!

Gute Dauerausstellung zur Ethnogenese der Menschheit. Sehr schöne Exponate. Ideal für Schulfahrten und Familienausflüge. Toller Aussichtsturm. Beeindruckende Sonderausstellung zu Grönland. Tickets sind online günstiger.

Beautiful Museum an hour away from the Düsseldorf city. It provides very good overview for the history of the humans and the people working here are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended to visit. It is one of the must visit places. This place has some very interesting items to see and the user experience is absolutely amazing. The narrative provided for the visitors are very informative and interesting. This museum is very comfortable and disabled friendly. I could only say good things about this museum and highly recommend others to visit (specially good for kids). Cheers and wish this recommendation would be useful for others.

Great all-round experience. The walk from the station is so quiet and beautiful - visit between May and November for the best woodland vibes. The architecture of the museum itself is very innovative - the entire building takes you along a gentle upward slope, so there are no stairs throughout the entire permanent exhibition. The only stairs are at the very end, but there is a lift. Good for low-mobility visitors. The displays are meant to be interactive to greater or lesser degrees. Great place to bring children, but if you are looking to play with the displays yourself, I recommend visiting during the week between 16:00 and 18:00 if possible - then you don't have to compete with the children 😂😂😂 Informative and fully bilingual. Entry is a steal at 9 € for the permanent exhibition, 7€ for the special exhibition, 11€ for both and a long list of potential discounts. Restrooms and storage closets in the basement. Enjoy a hike in the surrounding areas or a meal at the nearby country restaurant - the local cuisine is hearty in winter and refreshing in summer!

The museum is very nice for everybody, but especially if you like the human prehistoric. Includes descriptions in both language German and English, but also if you go with a kid is very kid-friendly, and easy to find parking and also by train (even if it is a bit far from the station). For me, it makes it very special to the fact that the museum is located very close to the Neander Valley the place where the Neandertal was found. However, from my point of view, the museum is a bit small, and going there so far only for the museum maybe it is a bit disappointing. But if you include the outside activities like the hiking route that takes you to the Neander Valley, or the park for the kids, it is quite worthy.

Der Ausflug mit den Kindern hat sich gelohnt! Alle waren sehr gespannt und es war für alle was interessantes dabei. Sehr viele interaktive Stationen, gerade für die Kids sehr spannend! Der Spielplatz, Café und kurze/ lange Wanderwege runden das Angebot ab!

Wir waren mit unseren Kindern 6 und 10 im Museum. Die Kinder haben gespannt den einzelnen Geschichten an den einzelnen Punkten zugehört. Tipp, bringt eure eigenen Kopfhörer mit, am besten die App vom Museum benutzen. Dann ist man nicht so mit dem Kabel an den Stationen gebunden. WLAN Passwort an der Kasse erfragen, im Museum gibt es kein Handynetz!

Great place to bring the kids. Make sure to get the adventurer's package to keep them entertained. Limited parking space for big SUV.

(Translated by Google) It was very relaxed and many forests, of course (Original) Das war sehr entspannt und viele natürlich wälder

Very informative outing. The museum has a lot of interactive displays and some great looking examples of Neanderthals. I was surprised to see all of the research that has gone on over the years. My own DNA indicates that I have 87% more Neanderthal in me than the DNA participants in the study I’m involved in. Please be advised; parking is a gamble. Just wait for someone to leave along the road and race to get it!

Visit the museum and you will and your children will spend a great time. The audio guide is really nice idea and my family and I really loved it. The statues are in real height and are wonderful. We spend a nice time in the museum.

(Translated by Google) Very, very nice and interesting (Original) Sehr sehr schön und interessant

(Translated by Google) Very interesting, also for children. There are extra audio files for children here. If you cannot find a parking space directly in front of the museum, a free shuttle service runs from a parking lot about 2km away to the museum. But only on weekends, mine only on Sundays. Opposite is a nice playground and around it there are plenty of opportunities to buy something to eat or drink. 👍🏻 (Original) Sehr interessant, auch für Kinder. Es gibt hier extra Audiodateien für Kinder. Wenn man keinen Parkplatz direkt vor dem Museum findet, fährt ein Shuttleservice kostenlos von einem ca. 2km entfernten Parkplatz zum Museum. Aber nur am Wochenende, meine sogar nur Sonntags. Gegenüber befindet sich ein schöner Spielplatz und drumherum gibt es genügend Möglichkeiten sich etwas zu essen oder zu trinken zukaufen. 👍🏻

Excellent place for people curious to know about the evolution of man. Neanderthal named after the Neander region & Tal ( Valley) near Düssel River in Germany. Where the first fossils and bones of the Neanderthals were found. Takes about 3 to 4 hours to fully go through the entire museum. Lot of information in a precise & crisp way. There are audio guides in both German and English. Special mention to all the voice artist on the audio guides have tried best to capture the attention of the visitors and make it all sound very interesting. Small cafe with few saft (juice), coffees, cakes. The Kellner (waiter) was very patient and good at service, who also speaks English. If going with family take the Familien ticket which will cost 9.35€ per person. Opposite the museum next to the parking lot there's a open park for children with slide and swings.

Well worth a visit, particularly for those fascinated by the origin of the human species. I would imagine that kids would particularly like the museum, given the wide variety of activities available for them. Parking is a bit of a problem, so be prepared to search for a bit to find a free spot.

Really well done interior. Interesting displays and nice voice acting. I loved the educational aspect. Giving it a 4 star due to the kerfuffle of parking (small parking lot with not enough spaces) and unclear on the lines for online tickets versus purchasing tickets on-site at the entrance. Also, the kids audio was only German despite English headphones. My son was able to listen to the adult version in English, but I’m sure it wasn’t as exciting. 3 floors. Kids excitement sprinkled in such as boring into wood with tools and a small excavation sandbox. Cool gift shop and very nice outdoor playground. Please note there is nudity. Tasteful of course and wasn’t an issue for my 8 year old son.

Interessantes Museum. Am Eingang bekommt ihr Kopfhörer die man an verschiedenen Stellen im Museum anstecken kann. Die Erzählweise der Neanderthaler über dessen Geschichte ist sehr einfach zu verstehen. Der Eintritt für Erwachsene kostet 13 Euro.

Great and educational... needs more focus on a timeline of a integration period timeline on all human species..... headphones in english too

I have only.heard about the Neanderthal genetic variation of the human species. But visiting this museum gave me an opportunity to understand the life style and the every day activities of this animal hunting nomadic human beings. This museum has arranged the history and evolution of this species in an exemplary way. Comparison between the various human species and the animal world also gives us the evolutionary biogical continuity of humanity.

Great layout. audio in German and English and special kids plugins. The basics of prehistory especially interesting for newcomers to the subject. 11€ per adult (sorry didn’t get other prices). Nice forested location. Clearer parking signage would help though!

(Translated by Google) There is a great tour. There are great ideas for children such as dig up a skeleton (Original) Es gibt eine tolle Führung. Für Kinder gibt es tolle Ideen wie sie z.b. ein Skelett ausgraben können

(Translated by Google) Very informative and modern (Original) Sehr informativativ und modern

Very modern, accessible museum. English speaking staff, guides and signs. Lively playground opposite. Great walk through signposted tracks (1hour+ with steps). Great pizza next door. Train station 10min away via wood path. Super day out!

(Translated by Google) Perfect (Original) Perfekt

(Translated by Google) Well (Original) Gut

(Translated by Google) You can easily spend 2-3 hours in the museum and you still haven't heard or read everything afterwards. A wide spectrum spans from the discovery of the Neanderthal man to world religions. The audio guide is somewhat unusual. You only get headphones that you have to plug into the respective exhibit - this can mean that all the seats are sometimes occupied and you have to wait or hear something else. (Original) Man kann problemlos 2-3 Stunden im Museum verbringen und hat danach noch längst nicht alles gehört und gelesen. Von der Entdeckung des Neanderthalers bis zu den Weltreligionen wird ein weiter Bogen gespannt. Der Audioguide ist etwas ungewöhnlich. Man bekommt nur Kopfhörer, die man am jeweiligen Ausstellungsstück einstöpseln muss - das kann dazu führen, dass auch mal alle Plätze belegt sind und man warten muss oder erst was anderes hören.

(Translated by Google) Great museum for human development from the hominid to the erectus and neanderthal man to sapiens today, and all in just one 2 million years, approx. 60 million years after the Dino's. While we can look back scientifically to milliseconds before 12.7 billion J, our 99% relatives are still sitting on the trees in the jungle eating bananas. All coincidence or what? (Original) Tolles Museum zur Entwicklung des Menschen vom Hominiden über den Erectus und Neanderthaler zum Sapiens heute, und das alles in nur 2 Mio Jahren, ca. 60 Mio J. nach den Dino's.

Fun. Each exhibit had Information in English. Easy to follow. Clean.

Its good place to visit beautiful nature surroundings there 😍

It is an amazing experience and very educative for children. A lot of interaction opportunities: crafting wood, discovering lost skeletons in the sand and much more. A big plus is also the walk to the woods toward the museum. Overall, this is a great activity for families during the weekend.

Amazing museum! The exhibits and interpretations are top notch. Not only do we learn about Neanderthal history, but the broader story of human evolution is told as well. There are tons of interactives for kids, including a huge play park right across the street. Highly recommend!!!

Cool museum to bring the kids. There are many interactive and illustrative examples. Adults without children may be bored. But I recommend this museum if you have children.

It's the most representative museum/site in the Düsseldorf area and one of the best museums in Germany.

Great place to know about Neanderthals. Audio tour guide covers all and also available in English.

Very rich experience!

Most parts of the museum were closed, I honestly expected to see more based on the reviews I saw on Google maps, my whole experience in general was "Okey"

This place was fantastic... My four kids loved it and found it really cool, as for my wife and myself we also found it very interesting. We also checked the Coffee shop which served rolls and cakes , The service was fantastic and extremely friendly ,I can recommend a visit here.

Basement has the neatest things- mummified items. The actual original bonez/fossils are in Bonn's musuem.

2 hours went by in a flash. One of the best museums I've been too. Most exhibits have English sign posting, although much of the audio is German only. Nice cafe at the top.

Definitely a must see in the area. It's not a big museum, but the way the exhibits are presented is really interesting. Make sure to take a set of headphones from the ticket counter and listen to the "stories" of the exhibits. There are also a lot of interactive stands, a café at the top floor and a gift shop when exiting.

Superb, informative museum. Fabulous experience.

the museum was great. lots to read, watch, touch, listen to, and imagine. the museum is near the site of the first discovery and surrounded by woods. theres a bucolic stream and a playground for kids right outside the museum.

I’m surprised the ratings are not better because in my opinion it is the only museum in the area that is really offering an interesting exhibition. Especially for kids it is fun to visit.

Great Museum with excellent explanations for kids and adults. Super nice playground across the street.

Really nicely put together museum but I would recommend a visit outside of school holidays when it isn't too crowded as it was PACKED when we visited - had to wait ages to plug in the audio guide headphones at limited sockets and the cafe was basically out of food.

Wirklich ein sehr schönes Museum. Eintritt mit 13€ gerechtfertigt. Im Eingangsbereich gibt es noch eine kleine Souvenir-Ecke, welche man zum Abschluss noch besuchen kann. Das Museum selber ist sehr schön eingerichtet und aufgebaut, überall gibt es Informationen in Schriftform an der Wand und noch sehr ausführliche Geschichten mit den Kopfhörern, welche man beim Eingang erhält. Man sollte sich bei jeder Station die Zeit nehmen, sich die Geschichten anzuhören. Die Audiospuren dauern im Schnitt circa 2-5min und sind wirklich sehr interessant. Vor allem für größere Kinder sehr informativ und viel Lerninhalt. Ist man oben angekommen, gibt es noch ein Café wo man sich ausruhen kann. Insgesamt auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert, egal ob groß oder klein. Parkplätze gibt es vor Ort (kostenpflichtig) ansonsten wie auf der Webseite des Museums den P&R Parkplatz versuchen, der scheinbar auch recht schnell voll ist. Zahlung vor Ort ist Bar und mit EC möglich. Im Eintritt enthalten ist auch der Zugang zur Grabungsstätte mit Aussichtsturm. (circa 5 Minuten zu Fuß vom Museum entfernt)

War wirklich sehr interessant. Es gibt Spinte für die Jacken und Taschen. Hunde sind auch erlaubt. Für kleine und große Kinder viel Auswahl und viel zu sehen. Es gibt Kopfhörer für Kinder und Erwachsene mit einem Tourguide. War wirklich sehr schön und angenehm. Es gibt etwa 5 Minuten weiter weg einen Aussichtsturm.

Expensive and boring. Just the finding place is relevant to see and for free.

Lovely museum for the family to visit m, very clean and efficient inside with lots to learn

Nice place to learn and have a good time. The path from the Station is not so nice, though.

It was ok but too much story telling, i would of preferred a more serious approach. Also evolution is portrayed as facts when its only a belief

Some really cool displays, but kind of small and out of the way.

This was such a let down. It doesn't deserve to be called a museum. Just some puppets and very little actual fossils or skeletons. It's more of an educational exhibition for kids. If you visit here. I'd just visit the place they discovered the neanderthaler An take a walk in the area. It's beautiful there. The "museum" is not worth you time or money in my opinion.

(Translated by Google) Great place for kids and adults (Original) Отличное место для детей и взрослых

Spannendes Museum zur Evolutionsgeschichte des Menschen mit einem guten Mix aus Infotafeln, Exponaten und Multimediainhalten. Für die Besichtigung braucht man ca. 2-3 Stunden. Spätestens auf dem gegenüberliegenden Abenteuerspielplatz kamen auch unsere Kinder auf ihre Kosten. Der angrenzende Parkplatz ist nur an Wochenenden und Feiertagen kostenpflichtig.

Für die nachgemachten Gegenstände und die vielen Repliken viel zu teuer! Stolze 35,- € kostet der Eintritt für eine 4-köpfige Familie. Die Hörbeispiele sind für Kinder zweifellos interessant und wissenswert, doch für einen erwachsenen stellen sie keine neue Erkenntnisse dar. Ich habe mich leider ziemlich schnell gelangweilt. Ich war das letzte Mal da und mit Sicherheit auch das letzte!

Dobrze przedstawione eksponaty i opis historyczny, w kasie, można po prosić o tekst w języku polskim

Nimmt die Kinder nicht mit sonst sehr schön

Σε ωραία τοποθεσία, αν και παραμονεύει ο <<σερίφης>> στο δάσος, μουσείο δεν το λες, περισσότερο ως πάρκο με αναπαραστάσεις και ομοιώματα προϊστορικών ανθρώπων. Το εισιτήριο ψιλοακριβό. Πάντως κάτι μαθαίνεις και ειδικά τα μικρά παιδιά.

Gutes Museum, viele Informationen auch in Englisch. Man hat viel gesehen und gelernt, gab auch ein paar interaktive Stationen. Kostenloser Audioguide gab es auch und auch tolle Exponate und Geschichten. Es geht nicht nur um das Neandertal sonder auch um die Evolution. Preis leider etwas zu teuer, aber sonst ein tolles Museum um sich 1-2 Stunden die Beine zu vertreten und was neues zu lernen.

Really enjoyed it here due to the variety of different ways to learn. You get the headsets which you plug in to the different stations and listen to the information in english or German. Lots to see and read about too and seemed to be good for kids with lots of different things fkr them to do. Great gift shop too at the end.

Nettes Museum, aber eine absolute Frechheit einen Parkautomaten aufzustellen, der es nur erlaubt 2,5 € in Bar zu zahlen ohne Wechselmöglichkeit oder ähnliches und dann Strafzettel auszustellen. Werde deswegen dieses Museum nicht weiter empfehlen oder wieder besuchen!

(Translated by Google) uga buga nga u aint funny (Original) uga buga nga u aint funny

(Translated by Google) We liked the way the museum was set up, that the figures looked fascinatingly real (with hair on their skin!) And that many stations (unfortunately not all of them) offered extra information boxes for children! Also nice are the many discovery offers for children, where doors and drawers could be opened to discover interesting things. The cafe is made with a lot of love. The new playground across the street shouldn't be missed by any child! Negative: On the one hand, people were hysterical about wearing the masks correctly, on the other hand, there was nothing to disinfect hands at the entrance (in the cafe at the end of the museum), although a lot could be touched and should even be touched explicitly! I cannot understand this logic. (Original) Gefallen hat uns der Aufbau des Museums, dass die Figuren faszinierend echt aussahen (mit Haaren auf der Haut!) und dass an vielen Stationen (leider nicht am allen) extra Info-Boxen für Kinder angeboten wurden! Schön auch die vielen Entdecker-Angebote für Kinder, wo es Türen und Schubladen zu öffnen gab, um Interessantes zu entdecken. Das Cafe ist mit viel Liebe gemacht. Auch der neue Spielplatz auf der anderen Straßenseite sollte sich kein Kind entgehen lassen! Negativ: Auf der einen Seite wurde hysterisch auf das korrekte Tragen der Masken geachtet, auf der anderen Seite gab es nichts zum Hände desinfizieren am Eingang (im Cafe am Ende des Museums schon), obwohl vieles berührt werden konnte und sogar ausdrücklich berührt werden sollte! Diese Logik kann ich nicht nachvollziehen.

(Translated by Google) Online guided tour through the aforementioned Lego special exhibition. The Zoom Meeting started punctually at 2 p.m. Many Kita children took part. The museum pedagogue did not seem to be aware of this, because she did not adapt her speeches to the age of the children, as she lectured too many technical terms (Inuit and about Greek mythology, etc.). Otherwise it was a welcome cultural alternative during the lockdown. Perhaps you will catch another speaker who takes better account of the age of the participants (Original) Online-Führung durch die genannte Lego Sonderausstellung. Pünktlich um 14 Uhr startete das Zoom Meeting. Viele Kita Kinder nahmen teil. Dies schien der Museumspädagogin nicht bewusst zu sein, denn sie passte ihre Redebeiträge nicht dem Alter der Kinder an, da sie zu viele Fachwörter (Inuit und über die griechische Mythologie u.a. referierte). Ansonsten war das eine willkommene kulturelle Alternative während des Lockdowns. Vielleicht erwischt ihr eine andere Referentin, die besser auf das Alter der Teilnehmer berücksichtigt

Very informative museum, spent almost 3 hours there and could have stayed even longer, recommend it definitely

What a great day out. Lovely and interesting museum that keeps kids interested. Would love more English audio stations, but still very enjoyable without. The area is beautiful, there's a playground and hiking trail and lots to do. Great day out!

It was really full. No trace of corona regulations. It was very hard to keep distance. The museum is very interesting and nicely set out. The audio guide is great. The information posters are all bilingual English and German and there are a handful of English Audio options at the very end of the museum. I've only taken stars off as it was so incredibly full. Visited during the kids school holidays during the week.

Perfect for one day trip including visiting the museum and a short trail hiking. There is a good design for children to explore (need to buy a package with some tools), and it's also good for adults to know more about the evolution of homosapiens.

The special exhibit OTZIS was all in German which inconsiderate of the management of the museum. One more thing the managers should consider is the kids who don’t speak German. There were some English narrations however most of the stuff kid would be interested are only in German which is a pity

Perfect, audio for adults and kids(German and English) !!! Thank you for the good time!

It's a great experience because it seems like real thought has gone into developing some of the exhibits. As an adult I enjoyed it even though it is mostly meant for kids

Excellent museum. It has various exhibits, multimedia installations, audio presentations, and informational texts. The audio guide is available in English and German and explains everything is a very interesting way.

Top class museum, visited with two young kids. Gave a lot of background on the Neanderthals and how they lived with interactive parts. Also the surroundings of the museum with the playground were great fun A small point of feedback is that for non-English speakers are nor greatly accommodated (no guided tours or children activity).it didn't hinder our visit, but would be great if it was added

Nice anthropology museum with focus on neanderthals. Audio Tour with headphones is german only, there might be different languages available at the register. Best suited for children aged 8 or up, younger kids have little activity other than the great playground across the street.

The museum has lockers available for visitors to drop off their items for 0.5 euro, and it takes about 1.5 hours to explore all the exhibits. There is a cave outside the museum, but I do not recommend visiting it because it is artificial and not satisfying. Overall, the museum has some interesting features, but the cave(Fundstelle) may not be worth the visit.

The museum is small and you’ll see mostly wax cavemen and replicas of stuff. Their parking is small and chaotic. The people working in the cafe certainly are not very thrilled with their work and have zero charisma.. Overall, a nice attraction for little kids. Cheap tickets and a bunch of nice souvenirs.

A nice collection of recreations, and explanation of human evolution. I had hoped to see the real neanderthal remains, but no, just casts. The overlook site marks the location where the remains were found, before the area was fully blown up by miners, but you cannot walk into the cave where the discovery took place. The train was down, so bus required, and not explained well - the museum should do more too explain this to potential visitors that are unfamiliar with German buses.

Very good place for trekking in the area around with having difficulty levels as easy, intermediate and hard as I followed the trekking via Komoot app.

Every time I go here, something new is happening, and the exhibition has always been interesting. Now they have lockers in the basement with power outlets inside for phone charging. Next to the lockers, they have kindly provided bottle warmers and a bottle heater for parents with babies. The archeological dig site (a sandbox with a partial skeleton to be discovered at the bottom) is the biggest hit with smaller children, and the scale of time and human evolution is discussed in ways that are engaging for older (probably school-age) children to adults. The current special exhibition about Greenland provides a relaxing space with bean bags and views of the scenery on projector. In the walk-through part, my daughter and I enjoyed learning about the different animals that live there, including feeling samples of their fur. Most museums don't charge entrance fees for children under 6, but Neanderthal Museum does. However, regular visits pay off for small children who want to run through quickly and direct attention differently each time. In this case, a Düsseldorf art::card pays for itself after the second visit, and one can be bought on site.

Excellent museum. Very informative, well presented. Great exhibits! I loved the audio-guide and the approach to talk in first person to listeners rather than talking in a neutral scientific voice. The café on the top floor is very lovely and has super friendly staff.

Ein wunderbares Museum ,sehr lehrreich , pädagogisch wertvoll gemacht und kurzweilig. Mit vielen Stationen , an denen es detaillierte und anschauliche Informationen gibt. Behindertengerecht. . Das Museum ist sehr empfehlenswert, für Jung und Alt. Wir hatten viel Spaß.
