What travelers are saying
- amirhxsseinTehran, Iran1 contributionOne of the best examples of modern art I have ever seen. Every little place has a lot of details to explore. Many interactive buttons, which trigger magical events. One of my best experiences in Hamburg and definitely worth the time.Written August 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nicholas RCharlotte, NC109 contributionsIncredible experience with the English tour. More cities should have experiences like this. “If you are silent in the dark, then you don’t exist.” We were a group of 8, and there’s a tendency to shut down a bit in the darkness with strangers. However, to get through it, you have to communicate, and the experience is very worthwhile.Written June 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JustinR3Prince Frederick, MD117 contributionsI loved every bit of Chocoversum. The whole tour was fun learning about the coco bean and how they make chocolate. We did the tour which was fully in German. I am from Germany so that wasn't an issue. However, I don't know if they offer a tour in English. You do make your own chocolate during the tour which was mega fun.Written September 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KELLY C55 contributionsThe worlds largest collection of boat models is only a the start! Nine stories of history, artifacts fill this historic building. The art work of maritime master artists is outstanding, and by it self enough to enjoy ! A great way to spend time with history filled displays.Written September 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sylvain LGatineau, Canada35 contributionsI enjoyed the animation that the actors were doing. I was not scared at all, but was fully entertained (and smiling all the time).
Both rides were enjoyable.
I just think that the price (27 EUR) is a bit high...
It's a shame that we can't take photos of the décor once the actor's performance is done.Written May 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As other reviewers have noted, there is no info, the main point of this is to get a feel for the sub by going through it. Do note that it is crowded and cramped and if its busy (as it was on the day we visited), you may need to wait as other people work their way through.
Its not really suitable for small children or people who can't manoeuvrer their way through small entrances -a couple of times we were held up as families tried to wrangle toddlers or babes in arms or older people tried to get themselves through the doorways and their joints struggled -you kind of need to hand onto the top and swing through. Keep you eye on the queue building behind you!Written June 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We enjoyed a couple of hours wandering through its interesting and inspiring range of collections and recommend if highly.
We would have loved to conclude our visit with a stop in the cafe but it only takes cash (at least at the time we were there) and as we travel with credit cards only, this was such a pity. I hope this can be remedied.Written June 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's not so much a museum than a show. And it's done great. Lots of interaction and the time just flies by. Big recommendation.Written May 9, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MarcLagerNorrkoping, Sweden120 contributionsNice car museeum. Not a very extensive collection, but still have some very special pieces to look at. Worth a visit for anyone with an automotive interest. Super friendly staff!Written August 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Europelover2014Chicago, IL3,674 contributionsI had been looking forward to this visit since I didn't have time available on my previous trip to Hamburg. I enjoyed the first of the three exhibition buildings, but not so much the 2nd and 3rd.
The first building is a history of BallinStadt including the man, Ballin, and his vision for a city for those waiting to immigrate and the buildings and experience of the émigrés. This was quite interesting. The posted information is in German, but we used the audio guide in English. This mostly satisfied us although there were artifacts in building 2 that had no English explanations available.
The 2nd building was a general intro and consideration of immigration. I didn't particularly enjoy much of this. The material was appropriate for a late grade school or middle schooler, perhaps ages 11 - 13, who had not considered the what, whys, how's, and impacts of immigration through the centuries. Several exhibits tended to "preachiness" and political correctness that rather alienated me. Nonetheless, I applaud the museum for taking on the topic as extensively as it did, If I had been traveling with children, I would have discussed the issues with them.
I never figured out Building 3 - an exhibit of Sesame Street. I never watched it nor did my children.
Cafe was a nice spot to relax. The computer access to Ancestry was not working when I tried. Oh well. I have used it from my library at home. I appreciate that the museum makes the records available.Written July 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is very reasonable priced at €6 and for that you also get a free audio guide which came in handy to explain some of the lesser known figures. It has quite a range of wax figures, ranging in quality (possibly due to the ranging age of the sculptures). Overall though they are great. Figures from history mixed in with figures from popular culture. I highly recommend a visit.Written December 5, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KristinaNuremberg, Germany4 contributionsAwesome place. The gentleman who does the tour knows a LOT and provides an excellent overview on the history of coffee. Make sure you take part in the tasting! Have a cup of coffee (well-informed now, of course!) and a delicious cookie on your way out.Written March 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tom C2 contributionsWhat a great treasure in the centre of Hamburg. This museum is brilliant for anyone interested in magic, performers amateurs and the curious alike. Young and old. Wittus Witt has a vast display of magic artefacts, tricks, ephemera and apparatus. There are demonstrations of a lot of the more obscure routines easily viewable via QR codes. This independent museum holds a great deal of magic knowledge and history. Wittus Witt is generous with his time and lovely to meet and answer any questions I had. A real joy to come across whilst passing through town. Not far from the central station I highly recommend poking your head in if you’re nearby.Written March 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
