My boys (9 & 10) had so much fun at the museum. We probably spent 4 or 5 hours there. There is so much to see. They have a small aquarium, different things for the kids to play with and on, dinosaurs, a science lab and so on. So many fun things. We all had a great time! More

this museum has beeen an all time favorite for loalcs for several centennia. LONG LONG before "interacitve museums" became mainstream, this museum was already hyper-modern in that regard. nowadays some shows they have may seem somehwat quaint, nevermind: in this little town modern musela concepts have been thriving for several decaddes and this place still shows you how to do...

It is a reasonably sized museum with some more traditional natural history exhibits but lots of hands on activities too especially in the science centre. More

Huge museum/gallery, which will probably take up at least half a day. Worth a look if you have time to spare, and do this in the morning - when you have the energy and attention span. Great for kids, and better if you know German (most exhibits are in German). Free with the Salzburg card. More

This was a little crowded, and the exhibits on the upper floors of animals were a little dated. However, the fish exhibit and the other side of the museum with the science exhibits were a hit with my little kids and teens alike. More
