    It's an amazing place with a huge collection of wonderful gems. I really liked it. I found more than 20 gems from my country, Afghanistan. Also, bought a pair of hematite ring and a stone.

    This is the finest mineralogical museum I have visited in my life. I was overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of the collection. Amazing! 5 stars doesn't do justice to this shrine of mineralogy. Highly recommended!

    I was awestruck when i first saw the crystals. These are beautiful and gives some of the best feeling, if you really like some geology. They have crystals from Brazil, USA, Mexico, India, China, Pakistan, Afghanistan, South Africa, Namibia and as well as europe. This is really good for children as well as adult. You can try some best photography here with the crystal.

    I love this place - have been there many times. Excellent exhibit for those that like rocks, guided tours in several languages, easy to follow and always learning something new! The halls are full of beautiful displays which are carefully curated, lit up and taken care of. Not sure good for toddlers, they would likely be bored, at least I would not spend more than an hour there with them (on my own, though, different story). Gift shop is a must, prices are super reasonable!

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, we can't say whether the place is beautiful, we checked the net beforehand to see if you had to book tickets in advance, it just said, you can but don't have to !! ?? When we arrived at the cash desk, we were told that A group just went in, they said where the gentleman had just paid, and that we would have to wait three quarters of an hour, according to the gentleman at the information desk. You should then point out on your homepage that binding booking is mandatory, especially for customers like we who are in transit from Dresden to Nuremberg. (Original) Das können wir leider nicht sagen,ob der Ort schön ist, hatten im Net vorher nachgeschaut,ob man vorab Tikets buchen muss,da stand dann nur,man kann aber muss nicht!!??Angekommen an der Kasse wurde uns dann eröffnet, das grade eine Gruppe reingeht,standen ja dabei wo der Herr gerade bezahlte,und das wir jetzt eine Dreiviertelstunde warten müssten,so der Herr an der Info.Man sollte dann doch auf Ihrer Homepage darauf hinweisen,das verbindlich Buchen zwingend ist,gerade für Kunden wie wir,die auf der Durchreise sind von Dresden nach Nürnberg.

    (Translated by Google) Very unfriendly checkout staff. So we didn't feel like waiting more than an hour. When you get handled like that. Too bad. (Original) Sehr unfreundliches Kassenpersonal. Daher hatten wir auch keine Lust mehr über ne Stunde zu warten. Wenn man so abgefertigt wird. Schade.

    (Translated by Google) The exhibition at Freudenstein Castle is unique in the world. The concept of arranging the minerals by continent is excellent. It is also very interesting and informative for non-specialists. (Original) Die Ausstellung auf Schloss Freudenstein ist weltweit einzigartig. Hervorragend das Konzept, die Mineralien nach Erdteilen zu ordnen. Auch für Nicht Fachleute ist es sehr interessant und informativ.

  • 1/5 Sandy L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We were not allowed in without prior online booking. One should have known. It's a shame, nothing like that has happened to us yet. Corona or not. But you should point it out on the Internet. (Original) Wir durften nicht rein, ohne vorherige online Buchung. Hätte man wissen müssen . Schade, sowas ist uns noch nicht passiert. Corona hin oder her. Da sollte man aber im Internet darauf hinweisen.

  • 5/5 Nithin P. 2 years ago on Google
    The stones here rocks!! I have enjoyed alot more than what I have expected. It's fun for people of all ages. It's exciting to look at how amazing the nature is.

  • 5/5 Shuvrodev B. 2 years ago on Google
    A place for stone lover. It has a huge collection of stones, minerals and fossils. I was amazed when I found some fossils millons of years old! They are well organised as well. The authority currently well aware of the post pandemic situation. They check vaccination or test report every time. I liked it. At least a tourist can feel safe. The shop is also rich in minerals and ores. I think it could be the best place who is studying crystallography, mining and all of the subjects related to these. Students would feel enthusiastic! Anyway mass people can also enjoy equally.

    Absolutely worth going! Very nice, rich and interesting museum! Could spend there half a day

  • 5/5 Haroon Khan A. 1 year ago on Google
    It is very good place for mineral loving people, there are thousands of minerals and gemstones available. You can also see mineral fluorescence under ultraviolet light in a closed dark place where you can experience it beautifully. There are some minerals, artifacts, rings, pendants, etc you can buy.

  • 5/5 Anissa C. 9 months ago on Google
    I really enjoyed this experience. It was well laid out and very interesting.

  • 1/5 Alyssa F. 9 months ago on Google
    They don't close until 5:00 but if you arrive at 4:00 they will refuse to sell you a ticket. Either that or they had some prejudice related reason besides the time, but I'm not going to speculate on that.

  • 4/5 Ingrid B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice shop. Prices are in.o. (Original) Schöner Shop. Preise sind in.o.

  • 5/5 Chryselle Ultima M. 5 years ago on Google
    Best mineral collections organized by locality. They have american, european, asian, australian collections. The best i've seen so far. Plus the museum is inside the Freiberg castle. It's a cool experience! They also have a microscopy activity that encourages you to study the mineral specimens and a fluorescence collection that wowed me. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Bernd E. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very good and assorted exhibition of minerals from all over the world and therefore very impressive. Interesting offers are also made for children. At the moment it makes sense to order tickets in advance, because due to the Corona only a certain number of people are admitted for two hours each. (Original) Sehr gute und sortierte Ausstellung von Mineralien aus aller Welt und damit sehr Eindrucksvoll. Auch für Kinder werden interessante Angebote gemacht. Zur Zeit ist es sinnvoll, Eintrittskarten vor zu bestellen, da Corona-bedingt nur eine gewisse Anzahl von Menschen für je zwei Stunden eingelassen wird.

  • 4/5 L R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great exhibition. However, children romping around and screaming. The staff remains unimpressed. This is probably often the case. (Original) Tolle Ausstellung. Allerdings rumtobende und kreischende Kinder. Das Personal bleibt unbeeindruckt. Wahrscheinlich ist das oft so.

  • 3/5 Star Entertainment P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting rock spread over four floors. Too much for my taste and few explanations where the stones and minerals were mined and no explanations about the fine-tuning. (Original) Interessantes Gestein auf vier Ettagen verteilt. Für meinen Geschmack zu viel und wenige Erklärungen wo die Steine und Mineralien abgebaut worden sind sowie keine Erklärungen über den Feinschliff.

    Amazing, you will see a lot of minerals, of course. Some information is written in english and german, I would say that is more than enough. I do NOT recommend the Audioguide at all.
