    One of the best sights in Dortmund! Dasa is a truly unique museum dedicated to the various different kinds of jobs. It is a big museum with a free entry! There are exhibits about pilots, machinery, production, relax, etc. Moreover, kids seem to love it. The main attraction in my opinion is the production robot which executes commands and sort of dances! I haven't seen anything like it, it is truly unique. I will definitely remember it. Dasa's only disadvantage is it's terrible location. It is far away from the city but it's still manageable. Overall, a must-see museum in Dortmund!

    The most underrated attraction in Dortmund. This place is full of amazing interactive exhibition items including a flight simulator and a letterpress. Almost everything in the museum you can touch or play with! I spent about 2 hours here and it was definitely not enough time to explore it all. It's all in German but luckily I had a German friend with me to translate. I think without him I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much because there's lots of interesting info you miss out on.

    FASCINATING place to visit and see how people did things. I HIGHLY recommend this place for any and all tourists visiting the Ruhrgebiet area, and for natives of Dortmund, as well. I was especially fascinated by the weaving machinery, in operation as I watched.

    (Translated by Google) A nice destination for young and old, even during coronavirus. Very well regulated hygiene concept. Except for a few things that are not open, everything is the same. Lots of "one-way streets" to avoid unnecessary clashes! (Original) Ein schönes Ausflugsziel für groß und klein, auch während corona. Sehr gut geregeltes Hygiene Konzept. Außer ein paar Sachen die nicht geöffnet sind ist alles beim alten. Viele "Einbahnstraßen " um unnötiges Aufeinandertreffen zu vermeiden!

    Really interesting museum, it's huge though so make sure you plan a full day. Lots of interesting things to see, just one thing to note though, none of the signs or films are in English so you may not be able to find out as much as you'd like if you can't speak/read/understand German. Be sure to check out the 3d demo of the International Space Station. Amazing!

    Very interactive museum. I absolutely love when museums are interactive. Definitely worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Samuel P. 6 months ago on Google • 89 reviews
    Friendly staff who could mostly speak English, made this a very enjoyable experience. Lots of hands-on fun for everyone. Easy to recommend, enjoyed a solid 90 minutes there myself. Not every exhibit was working, but that is like most museums. Still worth making the short trip out of the city centre.

  • 5/5 SALMAN D. 3 years ago on Google • 40 reviews
    Really Cool place for all age groups. Lots of things to see and perhaps experience it. All the information and guidance can give a exposure to the work on many themes. A locker is provided to store backpacks. Temporary there is no entrance fee. Nearest public transportation is Dortsfeld sud. I took that train from Dortmund Hbf -> S1 I recommend visiting this place in Dortmund.

    Very nice modern museum, a lot of stuff to watch and to do. Considering the price, it's simply amazing. Price/Emotions ratio is second to none! :)

  • 5/5 Silke N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Sounds boring - but it's not! Very exciting, especially with children. You should have at least half a day, you can also spend whole there. (Original) Klingt langweilig - ist es aber nicht! Gerade mit Kindern sehr spannend. Mindestens einen halben Tag sollte man haben, ganzen kann man auch dort verbringen.

    (Translated by Google) Exhibition is great, highly recommended. But ... canteen upstairs:, ice chest covered with hair inside, unfriendly, food well. Overall it looks dingy, it is best to bring your own provisions. You can easily spend hours in the exhibition, also great for children. (Original) Ausstellung ist toll, sehr empfehlenswert. Aber.... Kantine oben : , Eistruhe innen beschmutzt mit Haaren, unfreundlich, Essen na ja. Wirkt insgesamt schmuddelig, Am besten selbst Proviant mitnehmen. Man kann gut und gerne Stunden in der Ausstellung verbringen, auch toll für Kinder.

    (Translated by Google) There's much to see. Something for young and old. However, some exhibits are already worn out due to the high level of use (touchscreens do not work properly, broken buttons, etc.) In principle, however, it is worthwhile for the whole family. You should definitely plan a whole day. (Original) Es gibt viel zu sehen. Für Groß und Klein was dabei. Jedoch sind einige Exponate durch die viele Nutzung schon abgegriffen (Touchscreens funktionieren nicht richtig, kaputte Knöpfe, usw.) Grundsätzlich lohnt es sich aber für die ganze Familie. Man sollte auf jeden Fall einen ganzen Tag einplanen.

    (Translated by Google) Very interesting exhibition. Many campaigns, some of which can only be used temporarily or not at all due to Corona. Guided tours are great. (Original) Sehr interessante Ausstellung. Viele Aktionen wovon einige wegen Corona nur temporär oder gar nicht genutzt werden können. Geführte Führungen sind Top.

  • 4/5 A. Gregory J. 1 year ago on Google
    The DASA exhibition was great fun for our son, just because of the awesome construction playground in the middle of the exhibition. Besides being there for most of our stay, we also had fun with the other parts of the exhibition. There where things we hadn’t seen in a while and our son had never seen. A lot of things were playfully made, so kids could try them out. What most impressed us, was the Kuka Robot, that showed the speed and precision of factory robots. If you have kids it’s a full recommendation. ✌🏼✌🏿

    Broad base of science covered in this exciting Exhibition. My favourite was control tower and pushing tin experience at the aviation exhibits. A great place to bring young children for a day of exploring.

    Great museum about work, technology and people through the ages. Quite cheap for its size.

  • 1/5 Emre O. 4 years ago on Google
    Waste of time if you come alone. Dedicated just for groups. Don't even bother to come if you don't speak German. The information panels are minimal and exclusively in German. Place is a collection of attractions without any guiding. What a waste of potential

  • 5/5 Latten R. 3 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) Huge museum for young and old. The museum title sounds boring - but it's not. From robots, newspaper presses and helicopters to a tram. There is so much interesting to discover. Most of the temporary exhibitions are also very interesting. Im a good destination again 😀👍 (Original) Riesiges Museum für Groß und Klein. Der Museumstitel hört sich langweilig an - ist es aber nicht. Von Robotern, Zeitungspressen über Helikopter bis hin zu einer Straßenbahn. Soviel interessantes gibt es zu entdecken. Die Wechselaustellungen sind überwiegend auch sehr interessant. Im wieder ein gutes Ausflugsziel 😀👍

    (Translated by Google) Great exhibition for the whole family. From the old tram to a flight simulator to the outdoor area with a construction site playground, there is a lot to discover. Parking in front of the door and friendly staff. There is a star deduction for some unusual exhibits, which unfortunately were not marked as defective. Conclusion: The visit is worthwhile and very cheap. (Original) Tolle Ausstellung für die ganze Familie. Von der alten Straßenbahn über einen Flugsimulator bis hin zum Außengelände mit einem Baustellenspielplatz gibts ne Menge zu entdecken. Parkplätze vor der Tür und freundliches Personal. Einen Stern abzug gibts für einige ausgefallene Exponate, die leider auch nicht als defekt gekennzeichnet waren. Fazit: Der Besuch lohnt sich und ist sehr günstig.

  • 5/5 Melanie W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very interesting, even for our 12 year old ..... it wasn't overcrowded either. It's just a shame that due to the pandemic, one or the other station could not be tried. Entry was free for this. (Original) Sehr interessant, sogar für unseren 12-jährigen.....es war auch nicht überfüllt. Nur schade, dass aufgrund der Pandemie die ein oder andere Station nicht ausprobiert werden konnte. Dafür war der Eintritt frei.
