The tour was amazing. Led by a blind or partially blind guide we explored seven different basic everyday experiences in complete darkness. It gave a totally new insight into the life that the blind live.

Our family booked the Beatles Experience and we all loved it! Crazy thing was we couldn't take the 2 yr old into the Children's Museum. Had to time it for nap time but it meant one of the adults in our family missed out.
Highly recommend the Beatles Experience for music lovers. So much fun!

It was awesome. You have to book a guided tour where a deaf or a blind guide introduces you to their world. An interesting experience on a high paedagogical level and full of fun. Go there!

Last time I visited this museum, I guess I had an 8 years daughter. It was long ago. I was happy to have the chance, to catch up with the new exhibition-WHAT IS FUNNY. had a great opportunity to bring with me, three children from Africa, that were lucky to get a heart surgery in Israel. Under the project "save a Childs heart", that is situated 5 minutes, from the museum
It was first time for "my girls"-Dorica, Mahlet and Edaya from Ethiopia and Tanzania, in a museum. I was excited even more then they were. They didn’t know what to expect, and it was great that the tour, started at the theatre. With a clown doing Pantomime and slapstick, so the show didn’t need any translation. I was looking at their pupils growing bigger, and enjoyed even .more
We moved between the different spaces of "at eye level", were there is a beautiful art gallery, creation room, were they got time to draw something and take it as a souvenir. But the big "hit" was in a movie room, were they were short parts of Charlie Chaplin silent movies. a big wow, for those who never saw, and others that were introduced
Walking with a cap and a stick, in a penguin way, with legs turn out, was really funny. I won't spoil the whole thing, by telling it, but these two hours passed too quickly. We didn’t want to leave. So we set in the cafeteria and got an ice cream bar.
this part we visited is one of 4 breakthrough projects, that are a permanent exhibition.
With different focus, that opens your mind. Even as an adult, you are challenged and encouraged, to drop into an extra creative way, of illustrative world. That teaches you much about the world we know, and ones we will never step into.id love to have an excuse to visit, the "dialogue in the dark", and "invitation to silence", and to feel again those rare moments, of naive and pure joy.

Did the experience of a conversation with silence. Life as hard of hearing. Guided thorough a world of silence. Learnt about others learnt about me. Could not (can not) stop thinking about it. A brilliant 90 minutes with a very long shadow.

This is not a conventional museum in that it is not possible simply to turn up and visit the museum. Instead you need to book for one of a choice of activities. We first visited a year ago for Dialogue in the Dark in which you are given the experience of being blind. It was an incredibly moving and beautiful experience in which we were led through the experience by a blind person - it was as if he could see and we could not. We returned this year for Invitation to Silence which is about being deaf. Unlike Dialogue in the Dark, they could not cut out all sound in the same way as they were able to cut out all light but we still experienced the difficulty and creativity of using our hands, bodies and facial expressions to communicate. We cannot recommend these experiences highly enough. One tip though - leave masses of time to find the museum because it isn't easy!

If you want to discover what it's like to have a disability... The Blind or Deaf Museum is for you... We did both... Absolutely spectacular

I cannot speak to the quality of the museum as we never got to enter. Poor communication on the website caused us to drive over an hour during their operating hours only to have trouble finding them from the street and even parking lot. The website states that for tours, reservations are required, and then goes on to describe various exhibits. We arrived only to be told that the museum was not open and that only those with reservations can come in on certain days. Very disappointing. Bottom line? Be absolutely sure to make reservations and make sure you verify just before getting in the car!

First of all, as others have said, the word "museum" is deceptive! Don't show up thinking you'll just go in and wander around... you must have tickets. Sometimes there are tickets available at the box office, but during busy times, you'll find yourselves out of luck (if so, head to the skating rink next door!).
We have done "Dialogue in the Dark," the blind exhibit, a number of times already, so I booked tickets for our family to the less-popular "Invitation to Silence." I wasn't sure what to expect from the exhibit, which turns out to be not so much an exhibit as an interactive experience.
The quality of the experience is very much dependent on the guide, and ours (Asia) was excellent, very engaging and communicative, overcoming any possible obstacles to communication in our first moments together.
The experience isn't exactly like being deaf, though they give you headphones; they don't block all sound, so you'll find you can still hear quite a bit. But they serve as a reminder to zip your lips and stay quiet, and do block out quite a bit at the same time.
It's NOT all about sign language(s), so don't worry if you're not good with languages -- it's more about communicating nonverbally, through facial expressions, body language, and in other ways. This was a lot of fun and occasionally hilarious for all of us, ages 10, 13, 21, 21, 48, and 54. It's not often you can say that about any given activity, so I'd say if you've already done the blind museum, this one is your next best bet and well worth a try even if it's not as exciting as the experience of being totally in the dark. It's also ideal for anyone who's too scared of the dark (or of being groped in the dark, though there are security cameras!) to try the blind museum experience.
The blind museum definitely gets my first recommendation, but once you've tried that, don't pass this one up either!
