We had a brilliant time here, we are a family of 4 adults and all agreed it was fascinating. Well put together with well thought out areas for the trains, planes, boats and other technology. I did wish that there was more English written boards as I looked at some things and wished I could have understood more. But the English boards and screens they did have supplied provided me with all the information I needed.

Myself and my 13 year old son absolutely loved this museum... We got there at 12 o clock and left at 6 o clock when it closed 😝. Time just flew in there. The staff are great, very helpful. The museum itself has so much in it, boats, planes, trains, automobiles, manufacturing, computers, science experiments.... Time just disappears in there... We barely stopped for a drink, we were so absorbed in the place. Highly recommended.

A great spot for technology fans. Our son is a teenager and loved this place. Great exhibitions of shipping, aviation, cars, Internet and old computing technology. His favourite bit was the planes including an impressive plane mounted on the roof of the museum. Something to interest everyone here, some interactive exhibits in shipping, information boards in German and English. Plenty to see and read about. Spread out over several modern buildings with a couple of cafes, toilets, lockers at the entrance as well if needed to store coats. There is an outdoor park as well with an outdoor coffee cart and benches for a pleasant break after we had seen the shipping and planes section. Then we went across the road to the motors and computing. We spent about 3 hours here in total. We booked tickets online easily the night before going and showed our tickets on our phone. Under 18s go free and there is a discount if you have a Berlin Welcome Card. This made it very good value for money for a family. Would recommend to families with children/teenagers who have an interest in technology.

Great museum for showcasing several trains, locomotives and aircraft. However the other exhibits include the Textile, chemical and jewellery making areas were a let down. Most of the interactive installations were either not working/broken or not in English. The steam engine demonstration was also not running on the day neither was any of the jewellery workshop. Overall the museum is ok. Worth a visit but it’s definitely not a must see. Also if you’re going in summer be prepared to sweat as for whatever reason the air conditioning was not running in any of the buildings making it unbearably hot and stifling for several of the exhibits.

Fantastic museum set in the historical site where the trains used to run out of Berlin. Loads to see. We spent 3.5 hours there and still didn’t manage to see everything. Trains, planes & ships were our highlights. Great views across the city from the viewing deck. Our teenage boys loved it. And the cafe in the grounds with a working blacksmith was another unexpected addition. Lots of interactive experiences. Mostly in German / English. Thoroughly recommend.

The museum is extensive and interesting with exhibitions ranging from aviation and telecommunications to textiles and sugar production. A few of the signs are in both German and English which makes it easier for tourists with a Duolingo level of German (like yours truly) to navigate. You'll need more than a day to cover everything, but at the same time it's unlikely that you'll be interested in every exhibit so you can pick and choose. The entry price is very reasonable. There are lots of really interesting exhibits. The shipping exhibit is great - it has a lot of model ships of different kinds, and larger scale models of inland ships (historical and modern), U-boats and different kinds of watersports. The railway exhibit is also excellent. The museum is partially built in the old engine sheds, so there's plenty of room for old engines and carriages to be displayed - it's the highlight of the museum in my opinion. The gardens are also brilliant and beautiful. They're built around the engine sheds and feature original turntables, railway tracks and a couple of windmills as well as a food truck and picnic area. I did find the museum difficult to navigate and confusing at times. There also aren't any audio guides so if you don't speak German well don't expect to understand every artefact. However, overall I think it's definitely worth a visit if only for the gorgeous view of the U-Bahn tracks afforded from the rood deck, shaded by the suspended plane.

Today, for the first time in Berlin, Germany, we visited the Deutsches Technikmuseum. We had received recommendations from friends, and now we can confidently recommend it to others—it's definitely worth seeing! We had a wonderful day here exploring various technologies and scientific inventions! We had the opportunity to see vintage airplanes, old cars, ships, trains, and even interactively learn about the history of railways. We found out that the first computer in Germany was made in 1956. And did you know that purple was a popular color even back in the day? Train tickets in Paris used to be purple! This place is a real treasure for all technology and history enthusiasts! #Berlin

We went here last Tuesday, and had a full visit, lasting almost 4 hours! The front of the museum gave away its height but didn’t give any clues to the vastness inside! There was so much to see and all very interesting, covering a wide range of topics from aviation and shipping to farming to history of transport within Germany. We spent the longest time in the trains section, as it was enormous with so many different trains to look at. The best part was the price - 22 euros for a family ticket! Extremely good value for money. A really good experience for us that we’ll never forget!

My son and I went to this museum, not quite sure what to expect to find there. First thing I found was, it's really cheap - with the Welcome Card, I paid Eur5 and my son was free. Second thing is, it's pretty big! The buildings just keep coming, especially the engine sheds with their huge range of railway stuff. In the newer section, the selection of ships and planes is big and rivals aircraft-specific museums. Very interesting to see more about the German planes, as we tend to get the UK/US perspective in UK museums. Alongside the trains, planes and boats, there are some really interesting exhibits around medicine and drug development, photography and more. Laugh of the day went to the 'Antibabypille' - we'd seen that phrase on an old poster in another museum and thought 'surely it wasn't called that?'. It was!

The museum is relatively easy to find, being a short walk (7/8 mins) from a couple of U-bahn stations. There is a huge amount to see here, and is an ideal place to visit for those of all ages. It would also be a good attraction if the weather is poor, since the vast majority of it is indoors. The cost to enter was just 5 Euros each with our Welcome Card. But it’s only 12 Euros if you don’t have a card, and it’s completely free for under 18s. Excellent value! I would consider it mainly a transport museum, with big displays of cars, trains, shipping and aviation. But there are also quite a lot of other non-transport exhibitions on things like textiles, tools, telecommunications and other things not necessarily beginning with ‘t’! It’s a really big complex, in two main buildings with two additional train ‘depots’ and a large outside area (park) with further exhibits. My biggest criticism is that we really wanted to find a good map of the buildings so we could understand where we were, what we had already seen, and where we might want to head next. Unfortunately, we found any such plans of the complex to be utterly vague. So much so that despite walking round for about 3.5 hours, and enjoying the things we DID see, I’m quite convinced that we missed other exhibits simply because we couldn’t understand what was where. That minor irritation aside, we very much enjoyed our visit. It’s a very impressive place, and we would recommend it highly if transport and technology are of interest to you.
