What travelers are saying
- Christian MoserWiden, Switzerland386 contributionsOne of the best museums for all ages. There are many exciting experiments. This way, technology can be experienced and it's incredibly fun. There is so much to discover and time flies. This time we visited for the first time the external areas. I have to say that was full of new great discoveries.Written April 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DayTrip29700460218Zurich, Switzerland2 contributionsIncredible quality art experience just outside Zurich in a former private home with kind and helpful staff and a cute cafe. For two hours we were the only visitors in the galleries. Highlights of the collection: A pair of Van Gogh oil paintings of the asylum experience--one inside the facility and the other outside in the garden. Also saw two Van Gogh drawings which were exceptionally beautiful and rare. Mostly well known European artists of the 17th-19th Centuries. Nice walk in the garden and and we picked a few quince and apples from the orchard.Written October 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BosceDublin, Ireland165 contributionsThe atmosphere was nice, full of kids and laughing people. We could not see many animals but was a nice walk through the woods. It is a convenient place, not far from the motorway, ok to spend an afternoon with some friends and babies. We will come back.Written August 4, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kevin HZurich, Switzerland1,196 contributionsWe decided to take a trip to Schloss Kyburg and were not disappointed. We parked on the edge of the village in parking bays on the main road in. From there it was no more than a ten minute walk through the pretty village up to the castle itself. The admission price includes visiting almost every nook and cranny the castle has to offer. The buildings are well preserved. Whilst most of the information boards are in German, in many rooms we found translations in other languages such as English or French. The castle is clearly steeped in history. Enjoy!Written June 12, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- andreasgregroKöln96 contributionsEspecially the Caspar David Friedrichs are an asset to this museum but also other artists from various époques of European art history are well represented. This museum is among the best in Switzerland.Written June 10, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BoquillonBarboleusaz, Switzerland224 contributionsTo make it clear I am not an artist, but my wife is. I expect she would rate the place higher than I do but it is an interesting experience, not too large and manageable as a non - connoisseur. Great place for lunch too.Written July 3, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ailbhe FZug, Switzerland5 contributionsThe information in The Art of Winterthur review is helpful as you will miss the best of what's available if you only visit one; however it misses the information (as did I until I visited Reinhardt am Stadtgarten) that there is a further wonderful collection at Oskar Reinhart's home (on the hill above the city) Am Römerholz.
If you are only there for the day it is probably worth "editing" your visit. While the Stadthaus museum focusses more on the 20th Century + incl contemporary artists, the room with the extraordinary Monet seascape Belle-île, coucher de soleil is worth a visit for the paintings shown here alone.
For families - young children seemed to be fascinated by the Natural History wing of the museum.Written December 16, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

He loved everything and he was so excited to see what lies behind that wall, under those stairs... There are a lot of interactive educational parts in the museum - e.g.this was the first time that he looked into a microscope. Although it is a smaller museum, we spent about an hour there and my son kept going back to try the interactions/look at animals he might have missed. Very good value for money (free entry for under 16s and only CHF5 per adult). There was no parking spaces left in front of the museum, but you can park in the theater’s parking garage or by Manor/Coop. Very much recommendedWritten March 9, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Chrigel2014Winterthur, Switzerland158 contributionsDue to subsidy restrictions by the City of Winterthur the museum was closed in spring 2015, part of the collection is shown in Hamburg, Paris with in credible success (Paris: 170'000 vistors in a few months).

Families mingle with young people, some kind of alternative and hipster people can be seen.Written July 22, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Silver FLondon, UK11 contributionsAn easy climb up from the main road from the No 10 bus stop "Baumli". The footpath up is well sign posted.Written April 25, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- StevenKolsterenGroningen, The Netherlands181 contributionsThe Gewerbemuseum offers diversity: an archive on materials and how to use them (fun for all ages), two temporary exhibitions and a museum for Swiss clocks with some very interesting examples. The information is good. Also, there is an inner yard for coffee and lunches, a specialized bookshop in the corridor. Not very large but agreeable and right in the center of the town.Written July 21, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- marknevinsWinterthur, Switzerland25 contributionsThe lagerplatz area, formerly part of the Sulzer factory, has been turned into a bit of a hipster place with hip bars and restaurants, a skills & skater park and an studio cinema. Every evening we went there, there was either a concert or any other special event. If you are interested into the "mainstream" subculture, that is the place to visit.Written October 2, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
