Too pricy for what they are offering.3-4 years back this place was more informative/learning fun for kids and adults alike. But now it is only fit for little kids. This place has Lego rooms, Boardgame rooms, outdoor Spielplatz with water which can be played free of cost in Bibliothek or Park. The rest of the place is filled with 3D paintings,which was a disappointment. The only fun/Informative room was Museum mit der Maus and Glow in the dark room. There was no Jungle Fun on the day we went 11.06.2021, and no other activity was there to compensate that loss. In other words too expensive for what they are offering. Going to park would be more fun.

Oh dear - believe the bad reviews! The Odysseum is shockingly overpriced and lazily executed. As others have commented, many of the exhibits are broken or unusable (the various high tech exibits and games were a dead loss, most of them completely unresponsive). Many of the zones comprise activities you'd expect to be able to do for free at a library or community centre, like playing a board game or playing with Lego. Our 3 and 6 year old did enjoy Smurf World, and the section where you coloured in sea creatures which you could then scan in to a big screen underwater display. However, we struggled to fill our 90 minute time slot, and as adults were bored stiff for most of the visit. In fairness, the Museum of the Mouse looked as though it might have been fun for older children who could read German. Otherwise, the Odysseum lacks any educational value, and has limited entertainment value.

We visited the Harry Potter exhibition in December 2023. Bought the tickets already in September to secure a spot in the afternoon. Parking in the underground space is comfortable (if you use easyPark app, you can enter and exit by having your license plate scanned). You find lockers before the entrance to the exhibition upstairs (save a 2 Euro piece as deposit). For the special exhibitions prices are usually steep - same for HP experience. If you take your time for each of the rooms, yoz can make the stay worthwhile. Still, it is pricy for approx 1h of entertainment. I would have expected a bit more reenactment from the hosts, but they presented the rooms nicely. The cool thing is that ypu receive an interactive wand at the entrance and you can activate exhibits in the show. Again, i would have loved to have some personalisation, i.e, that you make decisions that decide on which side you end up... My favorite was the Room of Requirements, my low the Knight Bus. There are some very nice surprises at the entrance and during the show, I would recommend it.

(Translated by Google) Zeitgeist architecture that already looks totally old-fashioned. Madonna built over in the rubble and thus destroyed. Who comes up with an idea like this - and who then orders something like that ?! Hopefully the chapel will be uncovered at some point - when this building here has finally proven its uselessness. (Original) Zeitgeist-Architektur, die jetzt schon total altmodisch wirkt. Madonna in den Trümmern überbaut und damit zerstört. Wer kommt auf so eine Idee - und wer beauftragt so etwas dann auch noch?! Die Kapelle wird man hoffentlich irgendwann mal wieder freilegen - wenn dieser Bau hier seine Nutzlosigkeit endgültig unter Beweis gestellt haben wird.

You need to see it for yourself! Excellent experience, space to walk around and interact with dinosaurs whilst informational. There is a cafe onsite offering refreshments and food. Won't be posting many photos of this one as you need to experience the joy and feel the rawr whilst transformed into the park. There is an option to have pictures taken with a green screen which can be bought afterwards.

Went to see Jurassic world exhibition. My kids were really enjoyed, and excited to see dinos. The music, sounds, environment, dinos made you like in a real Jurassic world.

(Translated by Google) Really very nice, but the journey is hot The critical one (Original) Wirklich sehr schön,doch die Anfahrt heio Der Kritische

Excellent, interactive science museum with various themes and lots of hands on stuff to do and some 3D cinema/live shows. Sometimes they have special exhibitions. Plenty to keep all the family interested although very young kids might bore easily. You need a certain level of German as not all of it is available in English. Loses a star for the restaurant that was quite poor and very pricy.

The Jurassic World exhibition was amazing. A little bit too many people and the place is not so big, so to go with a baby is not so good. But the work team was amazing, very funny and nice.

The tickets are sold out and it is recommended to book the ticket online beforehand. We wanted to book the EdutainmentTicket but it was sold out for a whole week. Finally we could only book the KennenlernTicket which is only 90 minutes. Normally, you should be a whole day here because there are so many things to see, to do for children and they all need time to explore.

(Translated by Google) Very bad experience, rude and arrogant staff ... Too much money paid unnecessarily just for outdoor games ... we could go to the park for free ... I put 0 stars but had to put 1 too , otherwise I couldn't publish (Original) Eine sehr schlechte Erfahrung, unhöfliches und arrogantes Personal ... Zu viel Geld, das unnötig bezahlt wurde, nur für Spiele im Freien ... wir konnten kostenlos in den Park gehen...

(Translated by Google) A very nice museum, a dream especially for children. There are many different topics to discover. Think something for everyone, whether young or old! However, entry was a bit high. (Original) Ein sehr schönes Museum, gerade für Kinder ein Traum. Es gibt viele verschiedene Thematiken zu entdecken. Denke für jeden etwas dabei, egal ob jung oder alt! Der Eintritt allerdings schon etwas gehoben.

(Translated by Google) Adventure for the whole family, something for everyone ... (Original) Abenteuer für die ganze Familie, für jeden was dabei...

As an adult visiting alone couldn't get pretty much anything out of it and I was refused a refund. I'm sure it's a great for a child as all the exhibition are extremely interactive and educative. The place is quite expensive, too.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful excursion for the little ones (Original) Ein sehe schöner erlebniss ausflug für die kleinen

The absolute most beautiful museum I’ve ever seen. The staff were very friendly really nice as well and the student price is very affordable.

(Translated by Google) The Kolumba is an extraordinary museum in an extraordinary building. I visited it for the first time for the performance of "Dark Red" by Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker (ends on 09/20/2020). That was the fantastic staging of an overall concept through the whole house. Definitely worth a visit and I'll be back! (Original) Das Kolumba ist ein außergewöhnliches Museum in einem außergewöhnlichen Gebäude. Ich habe es zum ersten Mal zur Aufführung von "Dark Red" von Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker besucht (endet am 20.09.2020). Das war die phantastische Inszenierung eines Gesamtkonzeptes durch das ganze Haus. Unbedingt einen Besuch wert und auch ich werde wiederkommen!

(Translated by Google) An architecturally interesting building, but that's about it. The exhibits are poor, in some cases poorly explained and not exactly combined in an accessible manner. From a museum education point of view there is still room for improvement! (Original) Ein architektonisch interessantes Gebäude, aber das war es eigentlich schon. Die Exponate sind dürftig, teilweise schlecht erläutert und auch nicht gerade erschließend kombiniert. Von der Museumspädagogik her betrachtet ist noch deutlich Luft nach oben!

#Amazing #children #knowledge #playground #activities for kids. It was again a great trip. A lot of stuff to learn for kids and adults as well. Playground outside is lovely made including the pirate ship. A climbing garden inside is also great fun! So if you are next to Cologne with you school kids, make a trip to Odysseum! Meet the famous WDR Mouse (orange) , Elephant (blue) and the Duck (yellow)!!! Children can paint on a lighttable or there are some computers to do a stop motion video from the three animals and further more.

A good place for young kids in Cologne (a city that doesn’t have much for kids to do), though it’s overpriced. My kids were 2 and 5 and we spent 5 hours there and they still did not wanna leave. We went there on Thursday and it was very empty. (Remember to check opening time because they open not often. And we bought tickets online one day ago and their ticketing system was crab.) There were many toys and even VR games for free. However, with this price, surprisingly there were not that many high tech interactive games (some were even out of order), only 3 small size exhibition/interactive game halls (Jungle, Smurf, the Mouse). Other then that there were 1 inland skating hall, which I don’t understand why they offer this, and 2 halls full of branded toys and board games and books (Yes, we paid that much to play toys and games -.- ). Very few staff there so we could hardly ask when we did not know how the games work. We didn’t go to the outdoor playground because it was completely exposed to the sun and it was very hot. At 4pm we went to the cafe at the entrance area, but they sold only chocolate bars, muffins, brezels and drinks. So I recommend to bring your own food.

Harry potter exhibition was good fun. Parking should be listed on Google maps. It has it's own parking and it's easy to access however we did not know this until we were approaching the museum. Nice facility and toilets in the parking area too.

Wir waren sehr enttäuscht, da wir mir unserer Behinderten Tochter extra wegen dem Odysseum nach Köln gefahren sind (4h Anreise), um dann festzustellen, dass die Hauptausstellung geschlossen ist. Für uns war es ein Reinfall, denn paw oatrol interessiert sie nicht und für die Mitmachbaustelle war sie zu groß.

EDIT: Wie bereits geschrieben war zum Zeitunkt der Buchung eben KEINE Info auf der Internetseite. Dazu ist das Hygienekonzept mehr als fraglich. Der Innenbereich für den man eigentlich den Eintritt zahlt ist gesperrt und auf dem Außengelände drängen sich bei schönem Wetter (vor allem beim Wasserspiel) die Besucher dicht an dicht. Das Konzept geht somit nicht auf. Außerdem ist es defitnitv frech den vollen Eintritt für das angebotene zu verlangen. _______________________________________________________ Zum Zeitpunkt der Buchung war keine Rede von einem winzigen Außenbereich der lediglich geöffnet ist. Darüber hinaus ist das Thema "Sendung mit der Maus" nur im Logo und der Außensignalisation zu finden. Dafür ist der Eintritt definitiv zu viel. Da das zum Zeitpunkt der Buchung so nicht auf der Homepage stand könnte man hier von Betrug sprechen. Allerdings sieht es so aus, als wäre auch ohne Corona nicht wirklich viel von der Maus zu sehen.

(Translated by Google) The fact that we overlooked the fact that all the exhibition rooms are closed is one thing ... But that the so-called adventure construction site (or how it scolds itself) consists of sticking nails into boards or laying paving stones next to each other, for 40 euros having to pay, THAT is a cheek. It may be that there are children for whom it is a highlight to knock aerated concrete blocks with a hammer and this is an unforgettable moment for them. For our children from more rural areas, the matter was over after 5 minutes. Seriously: do something more meaningful with your children. A walk in the forest z. B. Or build a hut in the garden. Or read a good book ... (Original) Dass wir übersehen haben, dass alle Ausstellungsräume geschlossen haben, ist das eine... Dass aber die sogenannte Erlebnis-Baustelle (oder wie die sich schimpft) daraus besteht, Nägel in Bretter zu kloppen oder Pflastersteine nebeneinander zu legen, dafür dann noch 40 Euro bezahlen zu müssen, DAS ist eine Frechheit. Kann ja sein, dass es Kinder gibt, für die es ein Highlight ist, mit einem Hammer Porenbetonsteine zu zerkloppen und dies für diese ein unvergesslicher Moment ist. Für unsere Kinder aus dem eher ländlichen Raum war die Sache nach 5 Minuten durch. Ernsthaft: Macht mit euren Kindern was sinnvolleres. Ein Spaziergang im Wald z. B. Oder ne Hütte im Garten bauen. Oder ein gutes Buch lesen...

(Translated by Google) I feel withdrawn. In the Odyssey the entire exhibition is closed and only one outside light is open for small children. And that at a normal entry price. The adults only stand around to supervise the youngest. So I'm really disappointed. (Original) Ich fühle mich abgezogen. Im Odyssee ist die komplette Ausstellung gesperrt und nur ein Außenbeleuchtung für Kleinkinder ist geöffnet. Und dass bei einem normalen Eintritspreis. Die Erwachsenen stehen nur zur Beaufsichtigung der Jüngsten rum. Also ich bin echt enttäuscht.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, very disappointing! Have had to pay the full price and unfortunately did not know that all of the themed rooms (mainly for this reason) were closed. The cafeteria was also closed. So a real letdown. Not fair to have to pay full admission for something like that. (Original) Leider sehr enttäuschend! Haben den vollen Preis bezahlen müssen und leider nicht gewusst dass sämtliche Themenräume (Sind hauptsächlich deswegen angereist) geschlossen waren. Auch die Cafeteria war geschlossen. Somit ein echter Reinfall. Nicht fair bei sowas den vollen Eintritt zahlen zu müssen.

(Translated by Google) A really great thing for children and adults. There is so much to discover here and it is really a lot of fun. The experiment show is also highly recommended. (Original) Für Kinder und Erwachsene eine wirklich tolle Sache. Es gibt hier so viel zu entdecken und es macht einfach wirklich viel Spaß. Die Experimenteshow ist auch sehr zu empfehlen.

Great Kids museum with signs in English.. Quiet activities like learning how to make a cartoon as well as a challenging rope course for older kids.. Reasonably priced snacks and lunch too. Buy your tickets online and skip the line 😊

(Translated by Google) Dear Odysseum team! It would be desirable if you cannot be reached by phone and refer to the email address that you respond and answer! Simply leaving the annual ticket holders "out in the rain" is weak. We are asking for the partial reimbursement of our annual tickets that we purchased - only in early 2020. In anticipation of thanks! (Original) Liebes Odysseum Team! Es wäre wünschenswert, wenn Sie telefonisch nicht erreichbar sind und auf die Email Adresse verweisen, dass Sie auch reagieren und antworten!

(Translated by Google) was the first time in the Odysseum and will definitely come back, unfortunately most of the exhibitions were closed due to the Corana crisis. But the outdoor construction site, the PawPatrol exhibition and the water garden for our little one were fantastic. Only the admission price is a bit high due to the current situation. But on the other hand, the Odysseum must and should survive so that everything can be visited again in the future. (Original) waren das erste Mal im Odysseum und werden mit Sicherheit auch wiederkommen, leider waren ja die meisten Austellungen geschlossen aufgrund der Coranakrise. Aber die Aussenbaustelle, die PawPatrol Austellung und der Wassergarten für unseren Kleinen waren fantastisch. Lediglich der Eintrittspreis ist aufgrund der momenaten Situation doch etwas hoch. Aber auf der anderen Seite muss und soll das Odysseum ja auch überleben damit da in Zukunft wieder alles besichtig werden kann.

(Translated by Google) Great museum. I can only recommend it to everyone. Each exhibition is carefully curated and you can tell in each room how much love and enthusiasm went into the design, hanging and arrangement. Here, they really know how to make full use of the building, which is already architecturally great, in order to ideally stage each exhibit. Always worth a visit! (Original) Großartiges Museum. Kann man jedem nur empfehlen. Jede Ausstellung ist sorgfältig kurratiert und man merkt in jedem Raum, wie viel Liebe und Begeisterung in die Gestaltung, Hängung und das Arrangement geflossen sind. Hier versteht man sich wirklich aufs Beste darauf, sich das an sich schon architektonisch tolle Gebäude voll und ganz zu Nutze zu machen, um jedes Exponat ideal in Szene zu setzen. Immer einen Besuch wert!

(Translated by Google) Great building, great museum, great exhibition (the little game between me and me), great guided tour (Sat at 10.30 a.m. by appointment). A museum that is worth every visit!

Fab place for family. Went with eleven year old who really enjoyed it. Could have spent most of day there. Brick Live was intriguing. Big rooms with loads of Lego bricks - that's it. Still fun though!

Nothing at all that will catch your eyes.

Great place fir kids and adults as well. We spent over 5 hours full fun

There are limited activity places to take small kids in Cologne, so the Odysseum is somewhat of a blessing. However, unless you plan your trip right, it will be very crowded and not worth taking any children below the age of 5. We have a 2yr old which we took before 11am. It was pretty quiet when we arrived on a Saturday at that time, yet the Dino jungle was still pretty full. In reality, much of the Odysseum isn't suitable for kids under 5, yet for some kids, simply being outside the house and in an interesting new place which new things to discover, is still a good time. The best parts for small kids as the UV play room, the create your own fish area and the building blocks area. I think it was approximately 2 hrs worth of play for our 2yr old. By the time we left, there were large queues and it was getting very busy. Highly recommend for parent with kids over 5

To be honest it didn’t match our expectations. It was too crowded and not so well maintained. The different areas weren’t well identified. Worth the first visit but most likely not a second one.

Not good for the cost. Everything is what you can play at home like Lego ,Board games.

Brilliant concept but poorly executed. Not enough guidance on each section on how it works. Loads of bits not working. Requires a level of German that we did not possess, especially the Museum mit day Maus. Glad we only paid for 1.5 hours rather than full day. Kids (11 and 13) had fun but definitely designed for younger kids maybe 5-10.

Too many people inside and unfortunately not worthy installations and interactive stations. I know it depends on season, etc. But this time it was absolutely not interesting.

We saw the dinosaurs there and it was amazing. The experience was full of major attractions. The only drawback is that there are little to non minor attractions what gives you the feeling that it's relatively small. If you don't have kids don't go early in the day. It's flooded with kids and you feel very awkward. In the evening is much better.

Totally disappointed of Jurassic World Exhibition. Super expensive for what it has to offer. I offer one star just for the tehnic (which is impressive). - Really small price reduction for kids. And price is anyway high. - At the beginning the way leads automatically through a photoshoot and in the end if you want the photo it costs 15eur/photo. - The exhibition is split into several parts but you are not allowed to enter the next part without invitation from a ranger, so you wait with the group for several minutes each time. Felt like more waiting than enjoying. - More talking (explanations from rangers) and waiting (to enter) than actually seeing and experiencing. - Definetely not for small kids. My daughter is 5 and she was mostly scared as well as most kids in the group. - Rangers want to be funny but the storyline and way of presenting I find very inadequate for small kids. - Really, really loud. - The whole thing doesn’t actually last long, if it wasn’t for the talking from the rangers. - Kids are not even allowed to drink water during the exhibition, which I find unacceptable. They could at least allow in some hallways while you anyway wait for some good minutes to be allowed to move further (and there are no decorations to be damaged). - Of course it ends directly in the souvenir shop where the prices are super high.

So nice place if you have a child around 7-12 years old. Otherwise this place is not very interesting for older people. When they name the place as "science museum" and you are expecting something really advanced but it is just for children.

Great exhibits for kids (and adults) across a wide age range. The science part was mu favorite with a lot of hands-on examples. Good fun!

Nice to go if you have kids.

Interesting place for kids although you wouldn't stay here for longer than three hours. Well laid out and everything in German and English. Reasonably priced a family ticket.

Loved it so much , also the kids were so happy. My 3 years old didn't need a stroller all day and kept walking around, exploring and enjoying his time so much .

It is a fun place for a visit with my boys(7,10, 12 yrs). They learned some new technical and interesting subjects. Not 5 stars because only two interesting rooms. Within 2 hours we were done. But then there is still a city to visit...

Nice place for kids. Good live shows, check schedule when you go in. A little smaller, but you can comfortably enjoy CA. 2 hours there

My 5 years old and I had a great time at the museum. We were on a short visit in Cologne and we visited twice the museum. Children and adults learn by exploring and participating and not only by passive walk through. Please always read the explanation on the side of the attraction, it could make a big difference and give a lot of knowledge. Not too big and not too small. A perfect size to keep a child and an adult entertained for a few hours. It is a pity there are no other museums in other cities like this one.

Nice small museum, a bit expencive for whar they offer.

Heaven for Lego loving kids

Waren jetzt August 2020 im Odysseum während der Corona Zeit, wurden sehr enttäuscht . Waren 2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder haben fast 40 Euro bezahlt und nichts gescheites gesehen nur die Paw Potrol aus Lego und im Außenbereich etwas zum bauen für die Kids, und eine Außenanlage mit etwas Wasser und paar Sachen . Der Rest war alles zu, schade für das Geld nichts gescheites. Wäre nicht die Außenanlage mit Wasser wäre es für unseren kleinsten nichts besonderes. Waren in einer Stunde durch.

(Translated by Google) Despite Corona restrictions, a nice experience for children. The special exhibition on handicrafts was especially great for children (Original) Trotz Coronaeingrenzungen ein schönes Erlebnis fuer kinder. Besonders die Sonderausstellung zu Handwerkstsetigkeiten war fuer kinder ein erlebnis

(Translated by Google) Very unpleasant experience, very arrogant staff, paid tickets for a small water playground, the website did not say that the museum is not open at the time of an explanation their response was we have to pay the staff as if it were from my competence, what about I do not recommend it (Original) Esperienza molto sgradevole, personale molto arrogante, biglietti pagati per un piccolo parco giochi con acqua, nel sito web non c'era scritto che il museo non è aperto al momento di una spiegazione la loro risposta è stata dobbiamo pagare il personale come se fosse di mia competenza, che dire lo sconsiglio

(Translated by Google) I can agree with the last review. The Odysseum has a lot more to offer, but the hands-on construction site is a nice idea. I consider the admission price of almost 10 euros for adults to be too high due to the fact that almost everything is locked and you are therefore only acting as an accompanying person. (Original) Der letzten Rezension kann ich mich anschließen. Das Odysseum hat sonst deutlich mehr zu bieten, die Mitmachbaustelle ist aber eine schöne Idee. Den Eintrittspreis von fast 10 Euro für Erwachsene halte ich aufgrund der Tatsache, dass fast alles gesperrt ist und man daher lediglich als Begleitpersonen fungiert, für zu hoch.

(Translated by Google) Nice idea with the construction site outdoors in the Covid period, but only implemented in a mediocre way. 30 € + 5 € parking for 2-3 hours for three is too much of a good thing. Hygiene concept in the construction site area somewhat exaggerated (latex gloves for every child) and in the water playground everything is allowed, does not fit ... But staff was very nice (Original) Nette Idee mit der Baustelle im Außenbereich in der Covid Zeit, doch nur mittelmäßig umgesetzt. 30€ + 5€ Parken für 2-3h zu dritt ist dann doch zu viel des guten. Hygienekonzept im Baustellenbereich etwas übertrieben (Latexhandschuhe für jedes Kind) und im Wasserspielplatz ist alles erlaubt, passt nicht... Personal war aber sehr nett

(Translated by Google) Really very nice and above all very big! (Original) Wirklich sehr schön und vor allen Dingen sehr groß!

(Translated by Google) Based on the information on the website, it was unfortunately not immediately clear to us that the interior areas are currently closed. The dino theme is so present that one assumes that this topic area can also be visited at the moment. The outdoor areas with construction site and water playground are beautifully designed and invite you to participate. You can definitely spend the time slot of 3 hours with it. For using "only" playgrounds, the admission price of 10 € from 4 years is in my opinion too high. The Odysseum is certainly an exciting and educational museum for children. If the Corona madness is exhausted and everything is running normally again, we will definitely come back ? (Original) Anhand der Informationen auf der Website war uns leider nicht direkt klar, dass die Innenbereiche aktuell geschlossen sind. Das Dino-Thema ist so präsent, dass man davon ausgeht, dass dieser Themenbereich auch im Moment zu besuchen ist. Die Outdoorbereiche mit Baustelle und Wasserspielplatz sind schön gestaltet und laden zum Mitmachen ein. Definitiv kann man den Timeslot von 3h damit gut verbringen. Dafür, dass man aber "nur" Spielplätze nutzt, ist der Eintrittspreis von 10€ ab 4 Jahren meiner Meinung nach zu hoch. Bestimmt ist das Odysseum ein spannendes und lehrreiche Museum für Kinder. Wenn der Corona-Wahnsinn sich erschöpft hat und alles wieder normal läuft, kommen wir bestimmt noch einmal vorbei ?

Also very exciting, modern and educational! Something for every age. (Original) Sehr großes abenteuerliches Museums! Wir waren 4 Stunden dort und hatten nie Langeweile! Es gibt auch für uns noch viel zu entdecken wenn wir das nächste Mal wieder dort sind....Außerdem sehr spannend, modern und lehrreich! Für jedes Alter etwas dabei.

(Translated by Google) The Odysseum is an exciting experience for children, the worlds from the show with the mouse or everything about space are exciting and the children can participate in a lot. However, I find the admission prices a bit too high and for additional exhibitions such as Brickworld had to be paid on top again. (Original) Das Odysseum ist für Kinder ein spannendes Erlebnis, die Welten aus der Sendung mit der Maus oder alles zum Thema Weltall sind spannend und die Kinder können viel mitmachen. Allerdings empfinde ich die Eintrittspreise als etwas zu hoch und für Zusatzausstellungen wie z.B. Brickworld musste man nochmal on top bezahlen.

(Translated by Google) Didn't like it, I would have expected more, parking spaces also subject to charges. (Original) Hat mir nicht gefallen hätte mir auch mehr erwartet., Parkplätze zusätzlich Gebührenpflichtig.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting for children (Original) Für Kinder mega interessant

(Translated by Google) A different museum. Still worth seeing (Original) Mal ein etwas anderes Museum. Dennoch sehenswert

(Translated by Google) I arrived and the museum is closed! In Google Maps, the information was that it works! (Original) Приехал а музей закрыт! В картах Гугл, информация была, что он работает!

(Translated by Google) Because of Corona, there was only a very small Lego / Paw Patrol exhibition inside, but outside in addition to the manageable water playground there were various great hands-on construction sites with corresponding vehicles for the children. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Overall recommendable, but for what is on offer, I found the price of 9.90 per person a bit excessive. (Original) Wegen Corona gab es innen nur eine sehr kleine Lego/Paw Patrol Austellung, dafür aber draußen zusätzlich zum überschaubaren Wasserspielplatz noch diverse tolle Mitmach Baustellen mit entsprechenden Fahrzeugen für die Kinder. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt empfehlenswert, aber für das was geboten wird, fand ich den Preis von 9,90 pro Person etwas überzogen.

(Translated by Google) Had a great time there. Despite Corona regulations, they did a great job with the Paw Patrol LEGO figures, the vehicle fleet for the kids, the water playground and the hands-on construction site 👏 a lot of fun is guaranteed for young and old and value for money is absolutely in for the 3 hour time window Order. Thanks keep it up (Original) Ganz tolle Zeit dort gehabt. Trotz Corona-Vorschriften haben sie es klasse gemacht mit den Paw Patrol LEGO Figuren, dem Fuhrpark für die Kids, dem Wasserspielplatz und der Mitmachbaustelle👏für Groß und Klein ein riesen Spaß ist garantiert und Preis-Leistung ist für das 3 Std. Zeitfenster absolut in Ordnung. Danke weiter so

(Translated by Google) Absolutely great. An enrichment for Cologne and exciting for almost all age groups (Original) Absolut super. Eine Bereicherung für Köln und spannend für fast alle Altersgruppen

(Translated by Google) I didn't like it at all. Expensive, not for small children, more for school children. Cinema totally out of date. (Original) Hat mir ganz und gar nicht gefallen. Teuer, nicht für kleine Kinder, eher für Schulkinder. Kino total veraltet.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, many areas in the Odyseeum are closed during the pandemic. The entry price seems unchanged. (Original) Während der Pandemie sind leider viele Bereiche im Odyseeum gesperrt. Der Eintrittspreis scheint unverändert.

I stopped in for a table and meal for 1 on a night off in Frankfurt. I had the schitzel, unfortunately it was pork and not veal (I really wanted veal!). But it was good nonetheless. The beers were large, in charge, and delicious. The servers did not speak English but we were able to communicate and they were friendly towards me anyway.

Absolutely the most elegant museum that I have ever been. Incredible architecture details and art. There is a unique atmosphere.

An architectural masterpiece. Such a beautifully crafted building, Zumthor and his firm have done a fantastic job in conserving the history of the site and the previous buildings. A series of well considered spaces and details provide the artwork shown here with a subtle yet scenic environment. The best bit however is the open chapel, definitely worth walking through.

Interesting space and architecture. The exhibition inside is less interesting but nevertheless worth a stroll through.

Amazing museum, quite different to any other I've been to.

Unique collection. Great gallery layout.

piece of art by Gottfried Böhm and Peter Zumthor

A unique museum with the modern side by side with the ancient. Many beautiful artifacts were exhumed in Cologne, some from the first century, and are exhibited with thoughtful (and thought-provoking) modern pieces. Beautiful architecture, helpful staff. Highly recommended.

The building and the history behind it's construction is impressive. The exhibition was a bit disappointing. Not the works of art, but the way it was presented. There were no tags next to each piece, making the identification a very hard task...

(Translated by Google) A beautiful piece of architecture in the heart of Cologne. Can't pass up when visiting Cologne. Many different spaces with often beautiful works of art. Recommended! (Original) Een mooi staaltje architectuur in hartje Keulen. Kan je zeker niet laten liggen bij een bezoek aan Keulen. Heel veel uiteenlopende ruimtes met vaak prachtige kunstwerken. Een aanrader!

(Translated by Google) Great. We are very, very enthusiastic about the great architecture. It's a shame that the urban space around it is so ugly. (Original) Toll. Wir sind sehr sehr begeistert von der tollen Architektur. Schade dass der stadtraum drum rum so hässlich ist.

(Translated by Google) Hardly a more exciting place here in Cologne! (Original) Kaum ein spannenderen Ort hier in Köln!

(Translated by Google) Very helpful OK. (Original) Sehr hilfreich OK.

(Translated by Google) Overwhelming architecture. Noble materials were used. Also something for those who don't like art. I will definitely go there again. Also highly recommended: Brother Klaus Chapel in the Eifel - by the same architect. (Original) Überwältigende Architektur .Es wurden edle Materialien verwendet .Auch was für Kunstmuffel.Ich werde dort auf jeden Fall nochmals hingehen. Auch sehr empfehlenswert : Bruder Klaus Kapelle in der Eifel - vom selben Architekten.

(Translated by Google) The Kolumba is always worth a visit. Because of the great architecture. (Original) Das Kolumba ist immer einen Besuch wert. Schon wegen der tollen Architektur.

(Translated by Google) You want to go to the dance performance in the Kolumba, pay your entrance fee at the cash desk downstairs and when you arrive at the top, you find out that the room is already full and you are not allowed to watch. Is it surprising that you feel ripped off? Is it surprising that you only get your money back if you threaten to go public with it? That's not how you treat visitors. And who will reimburse you for travel costs and wasted time? (Original) Man möchte zu der Tanz-Performance im Kolumba, bezahlt unten an der Kasse brav seinen Eintritt und oben angekommen, erfährt man, das der Raum bereits voll ist und man nicht zuschauen darf. Wundert es, daß man sich verarscht vorkommt? Wundert es, daß man sein Geld erst zurückbekommt, wenn man droht, damit an die Öffentlichkeit zu gehen? So geht man nicht mit Besuchern um. Und wer ersetzt einem die Anreisekosten und die umsonst vertane Zeit?

(Translated by Google) For lovers of modern art, it is certainly very interesting. (Original) Dla miłośników sztuki nowoczesnej z pewnością bardzo interesujące.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting and worth seeing. (Original) Sehr interessant und sehenswert.

(Translated by Google) great architecture and great exhibitions (Original) tolle Architektur und super Ausstellungen

(Translated by Google) I'm really looking forward to the exhibition! The combination of OLD and NEW is a great success in terms of construction! (Original) Bin sehr gespannt auf die Ausstellung! Die Verbindung von ALT und NEU ist bautechnisch hervorragend gelungen!

(Translated by Google) Great performance !! (Original) Tolle Performance!!

(Translated by Google) As much as expected😂😂😂 (Original) 기대만큼은😂😂😂

(Translated by Google) Most beautiful museum in Cologne. Always good exhibitions. And the architecture is great. (Original) Schönstes Museum in Köln. Immer wieder gute Ausstellungen. Und die Architektur ist klasse.

(Translated by Google) Great building, great collection, great presented. In short, a great museum. Zumthor is a great architect. (Original) Geweldig gebouw, geweldige collectie, geweldig gepresenteerd. Kortom, een geweldig museum. Zumthor is een geweldige architect.

The building itself deserves 6 stars. Absolutely an amazing architecture exploring experience. Don't forget to visit the catacombs and walk around to visit the chapel! The collection includes an amazing Stefan Lochner painting. However, the presentation inside is unclear with maps in a free guide book and numbers that are missing or out of order. The descriptions are very academic - beyond comprehension for your average visitor.

Come for the architecture, stay for the art collection.

(Translated by Google) Favorite museum in Cologne (Original) Lieblingsmuseum in Köln

(Translated by Google) My favorite museum in Cologne. Absolutely worth seeing. (Original) Mein Lieblingsmuseum in Köln. Absolut sehenswert.

(Translated by Google) I love this museum. I think it could be empty and yet these rooms alone have a relaxing and refreshing effect at the same time. Very good exhibitions; put together carefully. (Original) Ich liebe dieses Museum. Ich glaube,es könnte leer sein und trotzdem wirken allein diese Räume erholsam und erfrischend zugleich. Sehr gute Ausstellungen ; mit Bedacht zusammengestellt .

(Translated by Google) A must-visit place when you come to Cologne. Space, light, and work combine to create beautiful art itself. It's quiet, minimal, luxurious... It's a recreational feeling. It is an art in itself. Admission is 8 euros, but students are discounted at 5 euros, so it would be good if you have a student ID. (Original) 쾰른에 오면 반드시 들러야 하는 곳. 공간과 빛, 작품이 한데 어우러져 아름다운 예술 그 자체를 빚어냅니다. 조용하고 미니멀하고 럭셔리하고... 휴양한 느낌입니다. 그 자체로 예술인 곳. 입장료는 8유로이나 학생은 5유로로 할인되니 학생증 있으신 분들은 챙기시면 좋을 것 같아요.

(Translated by Google) A must for architecture and art fans! (Original) Ein muss für Architektur- und Kunstfans!

(Translated by Google) Very worth seeing 😊 (Original) Sehr Sehenswert 😊

(Translated by Google) Beautiful exhibits.… (Original) Schöne Exponate.…

(Translated by Google) Great architecture. Accessible location. From the windows you can see the cityscape and the cathedral. (Original) 素晴らしい建築。アクセスしやすいロケーション。 窓から、都市の風景や、大聖堂を見ることができる。

(Translated by Google) A really nice museum. You should definitely have visited. The prices are ok. No long queues. (Original) Ein wirklich sehr schönes Museum. Sollte man auf jeden Fall besucht haben. Die Preise sind o. k. Keine langen Warteschlangen.

The kids had a great time. There was a lot for them to do. The live show was very entertaining and educational.

We made the mistake of going on a wet Sunday afternoon. We queued for 30 mins and people were still queuing to come in when we left. Once inside it was of course packed so didn't really get much time on the exhibits. Some were reasonably interesting, but the museum was quite small. We won't be returning anytime soon. If you go I would suggest a weekday would be better.

Nice place to take children for a very unique science knowledge centre, workshop kind of experience. Can ideally spend 3 to 4 hours doing their learning, activities. Highly recommended when in Colonge.

Very interesting and nice to explore things with your kids.

Both my 6 year olds loved it. Lots to interest them and they learn things too

It is a nice place to go with children but in my opinion a bit overpriced. Good thing is our 3 hour ticket got upgraded to all day ticket at the counter. Thought the areas to explore would be larger. Beware parking has to be paid separately.

It's OK for a short visit. Not worth the day entrance fee. I expected more science experiments. Roller skates for lending are also limited.

This is a good way to spend half a day as a family. The Sendung mit der Maus area has many different educational exhibits, including an area where you can make your own stop motion animation mini films. Although my daughter's favorite is the indoor ropes course that goes across overtop of the other exhibits. Then there are two other large rooms with interactive exhibits related to the earth and science. All exhibits have descriptions in German and English. There is also another room with temporary exhibits. You could spend the whole day here, or see most of it in half a day.

Very nice, my kid loved this place

Great place to spend the whole day in, so do buy the day ticket ! Only thing is that most activities are for kids around 5 years or older

Good place for 5-8 years old kids. 1:30 h were fine with us.

Great for parents with kids off all ages. If you have very small kids you can just visit the Maus Museum.

We were expecting a nice children’s museum with hands on activities. We were pleasantly surprised as the activities surpassed our expectations. There were VR activities, a roller skating rink, a large lego area for all ages and many more activities. We’ve been to many kids’ museums and this is by far with the largest range of activities. We also left an iphone, which they kept for us until we were able to retrieve it.

Great experience here. Lots of fun for kids and the coffee stand has oat milk for lattes or hot chocolate. What more does a mama need?

Nice location for a large exposition. Went to see Jurassic World which was good fun

The jurassic world exhibition was pretty fun and the moving dinosaurs were amazing. I mostly loved the baby dinosaurs, so cute!

Amazing show for both kids, families and adults. Very entertaining

We were there with my son. There was a bit waiting going on between the sections but its OK. It was well organized. Only thing it could have been one more section for that price. It feel like we saw the %80 of the show. But my son enjoyed.

The Jurtasic World Exhibition was awesome. If you go there with the mindset of wanting to feel like a child and ready to suspense all you know about the real world as an adult, you will enjoy it. 😊 We went as 40ies there and we have had a great day. The staff is friendly and overall things seemed to run smoothly. The only setback was the restaurant area. They were terribly understaffed. We were second in line and 30 minutes ahead of our time slot. But when we just had 10 minutes left until entry and our order still hadn't been even taken (the cashier had to prepare the food in the kitchen), we decided to pass on the opportunity. Though not of free will, we had originally planned this to be an adventure day with dino chicken nuggets or dino burger. Well, this did not happen. But as I said, the rest was fine. 4 stars from us. Greetings from Germany, Michael.
