There is a museum and an estate house. This is not a stuffy museum. It is full of movie clips that will make you laugh. Allow 2 hours, and another hour to tour the estate house. There are numerous photo ops with lifelike figures. There is a cafe adjoining the museum. Take the #212 bus from Vevey to get there.

I must admit, I never saw a Charlie Chaplin movie, but I enjoyed this house and museum anyway. The house was lovely and one got a feel for his home life. The museum was interesting, with lots of photos and recreated sets.

The exhibit and museum were very interesting and I was very impressed with the museum’s features and exhibits. I’m from LA and have seen many exhibits in Hollywood. This museum was better. I highly recommend visiting Chaplin’s World.

The museum, Chaplin's house and grounds are all beautifully maintained. Visitors are made to feel comfortable and relaxed. Everything is so well organised and there is so much to see and learn about Charlie Chaplin's life and work. I came away feeling that he was truly a talented genius and an extraordinary man. Funny thing is I thought that before I went but being at his place in Vervey confirmed it!

It's important to have watched Charlie Chaplin movies to understand everything about this museum. If not, a person wouldn't understand or enjoy the visit. Having watched most of Chaplin's movies, it was easy for me to relate to various clippings, wax dolls & items used by Chaplin in movies. Within the premises is the mansion where he lived in his last days with his wife & children. The museum is in the outskirts (not in the city centre) with ample space. So, no free car park was a disappointment.

At first I wasn’t sure about this place since I’m not a Chaplin super fan. In fact I don’t know much about him at all. But this was my favorite museum experience in Switzerland! Super immersive and chock full of interactive displays, film clips on big screens, etc. Start with the Studio experience (to the left after tickets) before seeing his Manor home. Very interesting info as well about the reasons for Chaplin’s visa to the US not being renewed due to McCarthy era. Easily accessible by bus 212 from Vevey.

I hesitated when I saw the ticket price. However, I am so glad that I went in! The exhibition was wonderful (and has clear explanations), and I love how the museum recreated many of Chaplin's scenes in wax and made them real. I didn't really know much about Chaplin before visiting the museum, but now I am really interested in his works! I spent around 1.5 hour at the museum but felt rushed. I would suggest at least 2 hours (45 minutes in the house, 1h in the studio and 15 min in the garden)

Conveniently taking the bus from the Station, it was a most enjoyable excursion. Arriving before opening time it was grand to drop into the Café for a snack. It’s a marvellous exposition of the comic’s life and adventures. From his birth in London, early years and his glory time in America. An initial audiovisual is a great introduction. Moving on to the family home set in expansive lush gardens was to enjoy a picture of their family life. With his fourth wife Oona O'Neill it was a happy few decades with their eight children, in the beautiful setting. But had to smile to see that even the most famous and well connected can sometimes get tripped up. Alluding to, as outlined in the film, when he purchased the estate for peace and quiet, didn’t realise that there was a nearby shooting range. That inconveniently rattled somewhat for a time the hoped for quietude.

This was the most beautiful museum i have ever visited! The amount of detail and thought that went into this museum is apparent when you tour Chaplin’s home and the Studio. A truly entertaining and educational experience that left me wanting to know more about Chaplin’s life. I would recommend spending some time walking around the grounds and grabbing something to eat or drink in the Tramp Cafe afterwards. Definitely allow yourself a few hours to wander the museum.. there is so much to see!

I had been wanting to visit this museum for a number of years. I was expecting its primary focus to be on his life in Switzerland. I was glad to discover that it covers his entire life and career. The museum consists of 3 components: the studio; his house, and the grounds. We didn’t tour the grounds. The studio is elaborate and provides a detailed history of his life in London and film career. There are lots of video segments throughout, great artifacts and loads of information. The house focuses more on his life in Switzerland. It also goes in to some details about his pre-Switzerland life that aren’t covered in the studio. It was also informative and extremely well done. I was pretty familiar with Chaplin prior to visiting. I learned a lot and loved it. My wife didn’t know a lot about him and she also thought it was great. We arrived by train in Vevey and walked here which took 30 minutes or so. We took an Uber back to the train station for 13 CHF. Admission is expensive @ 29 CHF but it’s worth it. This place is tremendous.

The studio and his home were very well done. Excellent renovation of the home. Lots of information and videos were available and displayed where you could really immerse yourself and learn a lot about Chaplin and his family. Five out of five! The admission ticket was a little expensive, though. If you are staying at a local hotel, you may want to check with them for a city pass that may give you a 50% discount.

If you are in the area, this is a top tourist attraction. I booked well in advance for the first slot of the day - worth it as when we left it was very busy. However, our hotel offered us half price tickets….too late! The house has a few rooms that give a reasonable idea of the Charlie days but many aren’t furnished or shut off. The gardens are lovely for a stroll. The many museum - a modern building next to the house is quite amazing - not what you think you are in for - I won’t spoil it, but we were blown away. Well worth the modest entry fee (even at full price!)

My wife and I visited Chaplin's World in Vevey as part of a tour group. We had no great expectations but were blown away by how good the whole place, and experience, was. What a good museum can be. We started by looking through the old home, where Chaplin lived after being exiled from the US, which was full of fascinating memorabilia, newspaper cuttings, home movies, photos, old film extracts, scripts etc. We could have spent hours in here had we the time. But we had limited time so left the building and took a stroll around the garden. Very open but with some lovely old trees. Then we went to the cinema area to watch a 15 minutes film about Chaplin. It was interesting but then the screen peeled back and we could enter a whole world of Chaplin's works. An exhibition with models, movie extracts, interactive photo ops. - the list goes on. Very, very, very well done and a highlight. Highly recommended.

We took a trip here from Geneva. It's about 45 miles to get there and you have to drive through Lausanne, past the Olympic Museum, and head out towards Montreux. The museum is brown signposted from the town but as you get near there are no signs except for a small sign directing you to the museum. The House is situated behind the wall on the right. You have to pay to park and you can add this to your entrance fee tickets. We paid for three adults but I got my OAP discount. We walked round the grounds of the house first and as you get to the end there are some billboards showing Chaplin's speech from the Great Dictator. As we entered the house you walk round over three floors. There are lifts for those with walking difficulties and within the house there is lots of memorabilia, with short videos, photos and other items. There are beautiful views from the windows over the lake and into the mountains beyond. After leaving the house we walked back towards the entrance and waited to enter the studio. Entrance is timed and you might have to wait a few minutes before the doors open but the wait is really worth it. Once inside you watch a. ten minute video about Chaplin and his films and his time in Switzerland. Once this finishes you walk forward into the studio area and walk through sets with costumes and other memorabilia on show. This bit was really interesting and showed things from Easy Street, The Kid, the Great Dictator etc. His Oscar is on display as well as his clothes and shoes and his hat and cane. Really informative and worth every penny. As you leave here you need to walk up a steep flight of stairs. There is a souvenir shop to walk through before leaving the exhibition. The souvenirs are tasteful and really well set out, but some are expensive. We visited the Cafe afterwards for sandwiches and coffee and sat outside under a canopy. We stayed here for about 3 - 4 hours and it was a fantastic exhibition. A must for visitors, not just for Chaplin fans.

My second time around and it was really beautiful. A very good friend came with me and his joy of being there. Was very special to me
