Great and very cool museum. Has a lot of different areas about different kinds of topics. From biology to technology and environmental exhibits. The venue also has some great events for kids excursion wise. You can even host their birthday there since they have special event rooms for that. Staff was helpful and gave good info. Enough bathrooms if you need to visit one. You can pick up a map at the reception, which I can recommend. Very helpful information and very clear on where you can find each exhibit.

Amazing experience for the whole family. We were there about 6 hours an left only because of lower batteries :-) it is quite expensive (for a 3 person family 46 euros) but so great place to discover many things and have fun. The Earth from the astronauts view was a cherry on the pie!

Discovery Museum is easily one of the best science museums I have ever visited! Over a hundred interactive exhibits - all in working order - that are fun for adults and children alike. The explanations (in Dutch, German, and English) are very interesting as well. Highly recommended!

Great place, very interactive and interesting. Most of the activities had an English translation, but there were still a lot with only Dutch and German. There were no sanitizing station, and considering that we touch every little thing in there, that would have been appreciated. In general, I liked the place and enjoy the interactive play, if everything was translated and if there were antibacterial stations, I would have put 5 stars.

Something for everybody. Well worth it. Kids love the interaction with different installations.

We spent half a day there which was full of fun with our kids 8 and 10 years old. We found ourselves still playing at the closing time of museum. Tip: Tour ideally starts with cinema show, you can plan beforehand according to times of the show. Also don't forget to attend the interactive theatre which is fun and quite educative for kids.

Interesting Museum has lots of fun things to do, not only for children but also for adults too. A lot of creative, interactive rooms full of information, games, brain tickling puzzles and models,.especially the history if technical side of evolution if mechanical engines. The science lab, science show and 3D earth movie show are super interesting and exciting parts. A restaurant also offers good variety of snacks and quick bites including pizza and beverages. Staff is very polite and friendly and speaks English and Deutsch as well. A full eventful day of activities and family time to spend in.

Very impressive, clean and enjoyable. We spent 3 hours of total excitement.

So much to say about this fantastic museum,would rate it higher than 5 stars.a musuem dedicated to change.from machines,house hold appliances medical technology.and how things have advanced in many sectors of our lives.had an example of the first heart pace maker,also a dummy where you could try key hole surgery.and other hands on displays how the body functions.there were dedicated areas for children to solve puzzles and situations.a real education and fun experience for them,how diffrent things work.and for adults on a higher level learnt a lot.%T

Very nice museum for kids and adults. Has a lot of attractions, we needed 2 days to see it all. Free parking right next to the museum. We really enjoed and we gladly would go for a 3rd time.

We were with kids 3 and 6 y.o.. Both said it was the best museum they ever visited.

It is a great place for parents and kids to do stuff and find out stuff. You can learn a lot. Sadly there where a few things out of order. Remark: you can easily spend a whole day there and you should cause in like 4 hours you can not see and experience everything.

Really amazing place! Strongly recommend for families and children! Of course, visiting Museum with friends also will be perfect! Gorgeous!

You need to come here from morning to evening, we had 3 hours, and then we did not have time to get around and see everything. Entertaining and interesting! There is a planetarium here, which is also impressive. We love the museum!

Science related activities. Great for kids due to a lot of interactivity but not so much for grownups. The information in some cases it’s outdated or cant be accessed (eg microscope)

The museum is just great and worth a visit. You could easily spend the whole day there without getting bored. 4 stars because the quality of the merch they are selling in the store sucks. The first Kazoo bought already broke while we were still in the museum, the second one right after we got home. Also the gyroscope was not working.

A wonderful Museum for children and plenty things to do. We arrived early (opening time) so there was no line to take tickets but taking tickets in advance online could help) Only negative point: the restaurant was very busy, super long waiting line but the fries are good.

Very good science and technical museum with a well balanced focus for kids. Spent 6 hours to see everything. Parking is also no problem there.

A fascinating, immersive experience for all ages! Cannot recommend it highly enough. The space views of earth are beyond comparison - literally out of this world. Give yourself at least 3 hours, can't wait to go back.

An amazing museum. A must see. Not even once is enough. My plan once a year. 😊 Specially for schools to do annual tours. In total 5 Stars although challenges that I hope to improve. Most of the information signs are in Dutch and German, not much in English unfortunately. Although in some sections there were 3 languages and wonderful. I didn’t see rubbish bins in the halls. My son saw the Lego photo on the profile and wanted that section but apparently no Lego section exist anymore. Pity. Very interactive. Be ready to spend hours. We were there for 4 hours and still my son wanted to stay and still we didn’t see all parts. Building Has an interesting architecture but I didn’t find any sign mentioning who designed and how long it took to design/build it. Movie In certain times they show movies that we missed. Lack of time. Lab Chemistry lab needs registering on site. Lack of time and we missed it. Didn’t see a staff to ask about age limit et cet. But certainly kids were wearing nice lab coats and all excited in the lab. Cafe nice and has a few good options, though not cheap. Shop has variety of nice games for kids. Quite number of educational games but not cheap unfortunately. 😅 Travel From Aachen Bushof with two buses. Not that bad. One to Kerkrade or Herzogenrath and second one till the museum. Just in front of the museum. Ticket Entrance ticket not cheap. Around 16€ although covers a whole day, 11-5. Free for under 5yo. But pity no discount for students. Wonderful to hear they partner with OecherLab for science camp for schools. Suggestions: -A Lab for One health, with sections on biodiversity, Showing parasites, a few science art paintings et cet. Showing the relationship of human health, animal health and environment health. Or a big Biology lab with sectors for health, biodiversity… microscopes… -More of Science communicator staff (with a more visible uniform) walking around and interacting with kids & parents. Am sure museum can use the potential of volunteers (students or scientists) to volunteer as science communicators. Even myself ready to volunteer -Putting a few chairs around for adults to sit and rest can be useful. You can imagine I had to follow my son for more than 3 hours 😅 -Use volunteers, one myself, to add more English and perhaps plans for future sections. -Perhaps Stadtaachen can support one direct bus per weekend at least. Am sure many will like this. -Entrance ticket discount for pupils and students. Or maybe award tickets for schools to encourage youth to visit

It's a shame that there was almost nothing in the museum in English. This greatly delayed the possibility of visiting everything and doing everything we wanted, as well as passing on everything I translated to my 5-year daughter so she could try out the experiences. A great shame!

This is not just a boring museum. There are tons of interactive pieces which are not only interesting for kids. You can learn a lot and have fun. For example could you play to be a surgeon and try out a 3D scalpel. Also facilities are very good. There a many toilets and you can also find a cafe to have a snack. You can leave your stuff in lockers if you find a free one. Entrance feels pricy but it’s worth.

Great Place for the whole family. Awesome earth revolution and science lab. But I give it only 3 starts because for a place that has a whole exhibit about healthy food and excess sugar in our diets , you have to go to the toilet to fill your water bottle. Total Lack of verticale planting inside shows this place is getting dated very fast.

Superb museum for children and even adults. The movie and the experience of “seeing the earth “is amazing. Will come back again when my boys grow older!

There was so much to do! I loved it. It was fun and I have never ever gone to a museum like this so this was very different. Location was good! The earth quiz made me really tired though no offense

A really nice museum, especially for such a small town as Kerkrade. However, first 2 halls that one enters are quite boring, and only after them the true fun begins. I found it a huge disadvantage, that captions for the items are placed quite often only in Dutch, sometimes also with German. And only in rare cases English captions can be seen. For me as a person who doesn't speak very good German, and knows no Dutch at all, it was such a buzzkill. But would I recommend to go? Absolutely yes! You're up for a lot of fun. Note that you will need 3 or 4 hours for this museum, no less.

A unique experience in the area. It bigger than I expected when looking at the flyer and website. There is so much to see and to do here. We had a full day of fun here. There is something to do for the little ones, but as a group of 3 adults, we could fill the complete day, and still had some parts left to see. Food is quite Expensive, and there is not much choice, but that is the only down side I can think of.

Really nice museum for kids, we spent the day and had a great time! I really recommend it

One of the best museums for kids. The 3d cinema was moving (for kids over 10 and adults), lots to do for all ages

Very interesting place for kids and parents 😉

Great museum. Nice expo and very interactive! A must-do with kids. Free parking close to museum. Very friendly staff!

Fun for kids, many interesting things, Dutch and German, english not on all attractions.

Always changing, always better. We have visited the museum some more than 2 years ago and we have been then positively impressed. Today we visited it again and, almost everything was changed, almost all new themes, all looking at what the future might bring. Overall it was better experience than last time.

Really good museum. Very interactive. Fun for both adults and kids with a lot of space as to not feel crowded. Friendly staff that speak English. There is a workshop for building things (costs extra) and a cafeteria with great food.

Good and interesting experience for kids and adults. Only bad point was..I never received my souvenir pictures from some activities in the museum. Anyhow...it is very funny!

Smaller than we expected but definitely worth a visit. We were with our 3 year old and he loved it. Nice cafeteria and shop downstairs. Thumbs up.

Nice place for a rainy day, lots of activities for kids. Great lab.

Very nice science museum. program and movies with Eng. subtitle. highly recommend.

The discovery museum is great to see science and technology, to try and experience yourself. Nice for young children and their parents alike.

Very nice. Great for kids too. Interactive, nice shows and movies are fun free in a very creative way!
