What travelers are saying
- SW19TravellerLondon, UK250 contributionsThe museum is an absolute must-see when visiting Krakow because it really brings to life vividly what it was like in Krakow under Nazi occupation. Others have criticised the museum for only having one room on Oskar Schindler, but I think that misses the point. I felt the content was excellent and I learnt a huge amount.
The reason for only giving 4/5 was when we arrived there was a huge queue for the entry door (which was shut) and no obvious way in even though we had timed entry tickets purchased in advance for exactly that time. There were no signs explaining the queuing system. I eventually went into the exit door to find out how things worked and managed to find out from the very surly and sarcastic security guy that we could just enter with the pre-paid tickets. It was though not at all obvious how to get in for people with pre-paid tickets!Written August 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Definitely wouldn’t recommend it for the faint hearted or people who scare easily! It gave us a good fright and laugh. The staff were lovely as asked us after was everything all ok and if we had any issues, which we didn’t cause we knew what we signed up for. We chose the green option and the staff weren’t too rough with us. We came out with no injuries
Brilliant idea for something different to do!Written September 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Amazing visit with lovely staff. We were just blown away by this experience. The guide we had was blind and took us through a sensory experience that made you appreciate the things they have to go through just to get through the day! Such a lovely man. We got quite emotional listening to his story. He wasn’t born blind but had an accident as a child. It was one of those things that you may well overlook on your visit to Krakow but please go if you can… it was a very humbling experience.Written September 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Wonderfully informative and fantastic tour done by Lucyna.
Awesome workshop by Gabi who was helpful and great at communicating how to do all the details of the project.
Very happy with our experience today, would recommend to all who are visiting Krakow.Written September 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Seven year old kid was over the top.Written August 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Anna O1 contributionCool exhibition for Lego fans! The best place to spend afternoon with your kid:) it's our second and definitely not the last time!Written September 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephanieFramlingham, UK21 contributionsLoads of fun for an hour. Wide range of machines, not too busy in terms of visitor numbers: so you never have to wait to have a go. It was fun to show my teenage kids the old machines from the 1980s. Super cool on a hot day too. Snacks and drinks are for sale.Written August 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ellie R1 contributionReally fun museum perfect evening activity and a must do whilst in Krakow!! Kate helped us understand everything perfect and helped us take lots of funny photos!! Defo recommend to visit!!!Written September 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- HollyNewcastle upon Tyne, UK150 contributionsThis was brilliant value - you can choose to spend 1 hour, 2 hours or all day ticket. We chose all day, but realistically spent around 3 hours there.
There was so many different games to play on - mostly all retro! Fantastic as a date night, or if you’re looking for a family day or night out. I couldn’t recommend this enough!
I will say it’s super hot, there’s lots of fans in there, but it can become a bit uncomfortable. They do sell drinks, but definitely could do with more fans. I know the arcade machines will generate a lot of heat.
Overall though, really fantastic - it’s a little bit of out the way, but it’s worth it!!!Written August 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The human/animal skulls and skeletons were the most fascinating. Some of the exhibits are reconstructions- slightly less awe-inspiring.Written August 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LeonhknyHong Kong, China21,028 contributionsThis is the place Copernicus studied and formulated his world-changing theories. The main building of Jagiellonian University in downtown Krakow is a historical gem with a pleasant courtyard. There is an exhibition on the study of Copernicus and beyond.Written August 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mariola SChicago, IL1 contributionGreat history lesson. We took guided tour with my teenage kids and it was great experience. Very interesting especially with owner who gives examples of who and why would end up getting tortured. He is.is very knowledgeable and answers questions. Also great spot to escape hot day sun as it is located in the old , stone.basement. Great location just of the main square. Tour may be 30min or 1.5.hour depending on your questions and time avability.Written July 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Steffie VGhent, Belgium8 contributionsThis is a very modern museum that was more interesting than I expected. I recommend it for people who like to learn about early trade and the early evolution of the city. There is quite a lot to read, I ended up spending 2 hours in the museum. If you don't like reading, this is probably not the museum for you. Other positives were that there was a lot of room inside so it never felt crowded. It was nice and cool inside, so a good place to visit if you want to get a break from summer heat. I recommend buying tickets at least the day before, because when I went, people got send away since all tickets were sold out.Written August 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FTMDaveAdria, Italy7,625 contributionsThe "Barbican" dates back to the 1400s and was once part of the medieval walls and fortifications of the city.
Today it is still an impressive building.
There is a small museum inside.Written August 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
