Gott, wie toll ist das denn hier? So eine liebevolle Geschichte, die dort erzählt und erlebt wird. Da haben sich (wahrscheinlich erwachsene) Menschen richtig Mühe gegeben, damit es Kindern (und Stofftieren gleichermaßen) hier wirklich gefällt. Eintritt ist wirklich fair, das Bistro „ Knopf“ ziemlich lecker, Personal überall sehr herzlich und der angeschlossene Laden ist schon echt wertig. Wenn man dann noch ein paar Blicke auf die historischen Hallen („Jungfrauenaquarium“) wirft, ahnt man, was für eine tolle Geschichte hinter Steiff steckt. Lohnt sich!!!

Es war sehr schön gewesen! Den Kindern hat es auf jeden Fall gefallen. Vor allem bei dem Rundgang ist sehr schön erklärt, wie solche Plüschtiere entstehen. Sehr empfehlenswert hinzugehen!

Very interesting experience, highly recommend when you come to Giengen

Für Kinder sicherlich sehr beeindruckend und viel zu entdecken. Der Anfang des Rundgangs ist liebevoll gemacht. Jedoch 12€ pro Erwachsenem völlig zu viel. Wer den Film und die Doku gesehen hat, braucht eigentlich nicht mehr hin. Die Vitrinen mit den alten Stücken sind interessant. Der Rest wie gesagt für Kinder. Der Rundgang geht alle 7 Minuten los und es kommen auch immer pro Durchgang ca. 20 Personen rein. Also je nach Schlange steht man eine lange Weile an.

Das ist ein richtig tolles Museum, für Kinder und auch Erwachsene. Am Anfang wir man durch verschiedene Räumlichkeiten geleitet und man bekommt erklärt, wie es zu dem ' Steiff- Universum' kam. Wunderschön gestaltet, einfach erklärt und nicht zu langwierig. Und auch die anschließende Austellung ist toll und kindgerecht. Im Anschluss gibt es natürlich auch noch einen Shop, mit allem, was Steiff zu bieten hat.

Visited on a Friday as I had read that the factory outlet store is also open then (fri-sun from what I can remember but didn't check whether this was correct when we were there). We travelled 2hours on the train to get there and didn't know what to expect. Yes, as per previous reviews, it is small. However, it doesn't mean you have to whizz through quickly. My daughter is a huge Steiff and teddy bear fan, so she enjoyed learning about the history and we spent a while watching bears being made. We also took our time learning about how bears have changed over the years and learning about how to date the bears based on their features. We spent about 4.5hrs there including a trip to the cafe and shop. Although it was small, it was magical. Highlights included being able to sit on giant Steiffs and watching them being made. There is a selection of bears/animals available in the main shop or the outlet.

This place was a lot of fun. Make sure you go down the slide! Little cafe on property has really good sandwiches. Our favorite was the Mediterranean. They have English tours for the first part of the museum.

Place ist great not only for kids but also for adults. I love the Cafe Bistro inside.

Excellent place for a visit. The tour around the life of the Bears was outstanding.

For kids a lovely experience! Our daughters 4 and 9 years old loved it! And even us adults were thrilled by the lovely animated tour at the beginning.

Brilliant visit. Far more there than I expected with various twists but won't spoil the surprises for future visitors. Loved it and great value and thoroughly recommend. Very quiet when we went.

Really interesting museum with a few surprises along the way. The cafe is good but basic.

Better than expected. I though it would be just a collection of teddys but no, they also have a few more surprises for the kids :-)

Ein Erlebnis, auch für Erwachsene sehenswert. Die Geschichte, wie alles anfing wird sehr anschaulich erzählt. Staunende, glänzende Kinderaugen. Es hat allen Spaß gemacht.

Sehr schönes Museum waren schon das zweite mal da. Unsere Enkelin war begeistert. Am Anfang die Nähstube von Margarete Steiff wo alles begann. Alles so liebevoll eingerichtet, sehr zu empfehlen.

Die Geschichte zu Beginn ist sehr schön gemacht. Das museum selber ist dann jedoch leider sehr klein und da stimmt die preis/Leistung nicht. Schöne wäre es auch wenn es eine elektro Ladesäule für Autos gäbe. Der Spielplatz ist leider auch nicht herausragend.

Ein sehr schönes Museum für Klein und Groß. Mit der kleinen Geschichte am Anfang in der Nähstube werden alle spielerisch eingeführt, wie die Tiere entstanden...und dann im 2. Raum der Aufzug... und dann die animierte Unterwasserwelt. Ohh, es war sooo klasse. Bin auf alle Tiere und die Rutsche runter. Wirklich wunderschön gemacht. Über das Restaurant kann ich nichts sagen, da waren wir nicht drin.

Lovely morning here. Kids were engaged. Appeared to be German only tour ( which is fine, I am in Germany) but missing a trick for the other tongues out there.

You must visit this museum if you love soft toys. The tour begins with a Geman voice over of Margaret Steiffs life story followed by a magical lift up and magical stories with soft toys. Wonderful experience!

Superb, our kids 6 and 11 years old had fun. the inteoduction in the start is just amazing and impressive. 100% recommendation

A very new experience with alot of new fun style...experiencing the story of Steiff with living inside it seeing the toys and ride them even for us adults 😂😂 it was awsome.. We were all adults and kid turned to be children again.. Happy that they have the Steiff story explanation were in English language because we came from italy and we were afraid we cannot understand anything there Thank you alot ❤️

If you have a kids this place is worth to visit. But only adults and who are not enthusiastic Steiff this place feels boring.

There was a 2 hour wait just to get in the door. The attraction itself takes only about 30 minutes.

This place is a must for parents and grandparents if you travel on the A7 or A8. Short exit and you made your kids so happy. The museum is a must. Animals in different sizes even for the biggest daddy's and mum's. We went with our 18 month old and this was so nice for him. Have a look at the outlet before you buy anything in the store next to the museum. You can get a good deal there. Will definitely go back.

Near by the muesium is the factory outlet..

Best quality plushies you can get on this planet.

Steiff Museum and outlet: here you can see pieces from German toys history

Here you can find reduced toys from the Steiff collection, good offers.

Small store and prices are still high. Difficult to navigate with a stroller, especially when crowded.

Great place wonderful stuff

Fun fun😁😁😁😁

We visited the place many times in the past. Very nice for the kids. The story and the little tour lovely. However this time was disappointing. There is nobody in the laboratory to show the Teddy bears fabrication, the submarine in the middle is gone, there is no possibility anymore for a birthday party and not a place where the kids can eat some food, unless you want yo pay to eat at the café. After one hour is all done. The suspended toys are very dusty. The ticket price is high for the offer, kids 6 years old 8 euro.

Very nice place to visit

One of d best must visit place for kids, aswm collection & different experience

It was well worth it. It wasn't just a museum but an experience. My 16 month old loved it so much. Songs, adventure and moving Steiff animals in search of the teddy bears of the world. And when it's over you get to see all the large animals and sit on many life size ones to take pictures, including and elephant! We'll definitely be going back.

My wife and I visited here in September and spent 90 minutes on the tour and looking through the shop, another 30 minutes would have been good to spend a bit more time walking through and another 30-60 minutes if you're eating there (prices look very reasonable and food looks good). If you have children with you I'd allow another 60 minutes at least as there is a lot to do for all ages but especially children. The children we saw there were having a great time. Parking was free when we were there, the gates opened to let you out without needing a ticket but this may only be on weekends. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, it's close to a train station and the autobahn so access is easy.

We were the last customer, before the store closed after more than hundred years.

Stuffed quality at static prices

Not only kids but also adults can enjoy the story and exhibition. Good size museum for kids with high quality entertainments. The tour is available in De, EN and surprising Japanese.

If you love soft toys 🧸and the history of steiff then this is a must it's a great place for adults and children restaurant on site as well where you can have a spot of lunch £10 entry for over 60s under 60s £12 would highly recommend 😀 🧸

It's just amazing for me.
