    Very nice building inside. A great place for visit with children. I believe children will find it very interesting and inspiring. Also and the adults can enjoy very much the experience. Last but no least, the top of building is open for the visitors to go out and enjoy the beautiful view.

    A not so very well known pearl of Dresden. For 5€ one gets access to a lot of different exhibitions covering a wide range of ages.

    Excellent museum for kids (and adults). I enjoyed the history of computers combined with the progression of video games played on them. Pong, Super Mario, Doom, etc. with corresponding silicon wafers.

    Smal in comparison with Prague's technical museum, nice, well organised and camera exhibition covers east Germany cameras like Praktina, Exakta, Praktica and more. I like it.

  • 5/5 Marco C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting and changing exhibitions, especially on the subject of camera construction in Dresden, and a large room in which mathematical experiments can be carried out. Very instructive. (Original) Interessante und wechselnde Ausstellungen besonders zum Thema Kamerabau in Dresden und dazu ein großer Raum, in dem mathematische Experimente durchgeführt werden können. Sehr lehrreich.

  • 5/5 Michael S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Excellent, not too big, not too small, great topics, good preparation. Especially recommended for young families ... (Original) Exzellent nicht zu groß nicht zu klein, tolle Themen, gute Aufbereitung. Vor allem für junge Familien zu empfehlen...

  • 5/5 Bert K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great for children, like to come back again and again. You can try and test a lot yourself. Visits are always entertaining. (Original) Super für Kinder, kommen gern immer wieder. Man kann viel selbst probieren und testen. Besuche sind immer kurzweilig.

  • 2/5 Andreas B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The exhibition was very film and Camera-heavy, which didn't spark my interest. The math department presents you with a lot of problems but doesn't have a solution. (Original) Die Ausstellung war sehr Film- u. Kameralastig, was mein Interesse nicht geweckt hat. Die mathematische Abteilung stellt einen vor eine Menge Probleme aber hält keine Lösung parat.

    (Translated by Google) Great exhibitions, nice atmosphere in summer on the museum courtyard (Original) Tolle Ausstellungen, schöne Atmosphäre im Sommer auf dem Museumshof

  • 3/5 Pea D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) There are many interesting exhibits, especially in the area of ​​cameras and computers. Unfortunately, far too few backgrounds are explained. You stand in front of the historical devices and learn little or nothing about their history, origin, meaning and use. All in all, it seems unkind, as if you had simply exhibited everything you had in the archives, but without much desire for documentation. (Original) Es gibt viele interessante Ausstellungsstücke, besonders im Bereich Kameras und Computer. Leider werden viel zu wenig Hintergründe erklärt. Man steht vor den historischen Geräten und erfährt wenig bis nichts über deren Geschichte, Herkunft, Bedeutung, Verwendung. Alles in allem wirkt das lieblos, als hätte man einfach alles ausgestellt, was man so in den Archiven hatte, aber ohne große Lust zur Dokumentation.

  • 5/5 JSchumi 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Kerstin A. I. J. 4 years ago on Google
    So much to see, so much to do. Went with teens of 14, 13 and 10. Stayed much longer than we were planning.

  • 5/5 Quang Tuấn B. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best Museum to bing your kids to. Besides a large number of exibit items, you can also found interatible machines which through them you can learn more about science. Very recommend to come with your kids.

  • 5/5 Jos van G. 4 years ago on Google
    We went here with the kids. After 4 hours we were still not through, we kept getting stuck at the puzzles and experiments. The admission is very agreeable. When you are up in the café for a bit of sponsoring, do go up in the tower, the view is worth the stairs.

  • 5/5 Frank L. 6 years ago on Google
    Very interesting, entertaining and interactive Museum. Almost all experiments can be played with and experienced. Very interesting for Kids from about school age on.

  • 5/5 Lars D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience for families (recommended for kids at least 5 years old, better 8 years old). Lots of experiments and hands-on activities. Very good combination of fun and learning. Offers kids birthday celebrations.

  • 5/5 Vaughan e. 4 years ago on Google
    Old Zeiss factory that survived the war very interesting and you can buy a year long pass that cover this and 7 more museums in Dresden so you can go as many times as you like and at night you can log in and control the lights on the tower to shine the way you like, sometime you have to wait to have a go we went a few times and really enjoyed it

  • 5/5 Sakis G. 3 years ago on Google
    An interesting tech museum with inventions that shifted our technical and technological civilization.

  • 4/5 Juliana B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful exhibits for young and old to touch and take part in. Unfortunately, some areas have been redesigned very well, while time has stood still in other areas, which makes it difficult to motivate children (e.g. era records, typewriters, telephone technology, cameras). A lot could be learned from the Heinz Nixdorf Forum in Paderborn. (Original) Schöne Exponate für Jung und Alt auch zum anfassen und selber mitmachen. Leider sind einige Bereiche sehr toll überarbeitet wurden, während in anderen Bereichen die Zeit stehen geblieben ist, wodurch es schwer fällt Kinder zu motivieren (z.B. Ära Schallplatte, Schreibmaschine, Telefontechnik, Fotoapparate). Hier könnte sich einiges im Heinz Nixdorf Forum in Paderborn abgeschaut werden.

  • 5/5 Jacobo Miranda D. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place

  • 5/5 Sebastian R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A great museum for young and old. Experimenting and participating is also wanted here. A coffee takes care of the physical well-being. From the tower of the coffee you also have a magnificent view of Dresden. (Original) Ein super Museum für Jung und Alt. Auch experimentieren und mitmachen ist hier gewollt. Ein Kaffee sorgt noch für das leibliche Wohl. Vom Turm des Kaffees hat man zudem einen grandiosen Blick auf Dresden.

  • 5/5 PANs Studio - Aygün V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice technology museum in Dresden, similar to the one in Berlin. We particularly appreciate the part about German animation history, which was developed with the help of the DIAF (German Institute for Animated Film). This is where everything that has existed and is in the history of animation throughout Germany is collected and historically processed. Among other things, the Craß trick table from PAN's studio. Access to the museum is barrier-free thanks to the ramp and elevator. (Original) Schönes Technikmuseum in Dresden, ähnlich dem in Berlin. Besonders schätzen wir den Teil über deutsche Trickfilmgeschichte, die mit Hilfe des DIAF (Deutsches Institut für Animationsfilm) aufgebaut worden ist. Hier wird gesammelt und historisch aufbereitet, was es in der gesamtdeutschen Trickfilmgeschichte gab und gibt. Unter anderem den Craß-Tricktisch aus PANs Studio. Der Zugang zum Museum ist dank Rampe und Aufzug barrierefrei.

(Original) Sehr interessante Sammlungen! Nicht nur Kinder, sondern auch Erwachsene können hier Spaß haben! Wir hatten zu wenig Zeit mitgebracht. Also, am nächsten Mal mehr Zeit planen!

  • 4/5 Dorothea K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great exhibitions, especially the Mathematics Adventure Land is great. Unfortunately, it is only partially barrier-free, with a stroller you can get through quite well, but unfortunately the descriptions are often quite small and with poor contrast. (Original) Tolle Ausstellungen, vor allem das Erlebnisland Mathematik ist großartig. Leider ist es nur eingeschränkt barrierefrei, mit dem Kinderwagen kommt man recht gut durch, allerdings sind die Beschreibungen leider oft recht klein und mit schlechtem Kontrast.

  • 5/5 Flo 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) ingenious! (Original) genial!

  • 5/5 Vinc G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) In my opinion, it is worth visiting the technical collection. Because it's an exciting exhibition, especially for children, because they can try out a lot of things themselves and participate. The DLR student laboratory also has very good events for schools. (Original) Es lohnt sich meiner Meinung nach die Technische Sammlung zu besuchen. Weil es eine spannende Ausstellung ist, gerade auch für Kinder, da diese viele sachen selber ausprobieren und mit machen können. Auch das DLR Schüler Labor hat für Schulen sehr gute Veranstaltungen.

  • 2/5 Kristin R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Too many blocked areas or exhibits at the moment ... especially for younger children. The full price is still charged. Staff either very friendly and competent or exactly the opposite. The visit will not be repeated anytime soon. (Original) Aktuell zu viele gesperrte Bereiche bzw. Exponate...insbesondere für jüngere Kinder. Der volle Preis wird dennoch verlangt. Personal entweder sehr freundlich und kompetent oder genau das Gegenteil.
