    We visited the Polin Museum recently on a visit to Warsaw. Using the self guided audio
    ( available in multiple languages), it leads one through one of the darkest moments in the history of mankind. Through creative imagery, sets and use of technology with numerous interactive experiences. It traces the history of the Jewish peoples through early immigrations to the holocaust. You cannot leave but feel humbled, saddened and astounded once again at this dark episode. The museum is easy to find and easily accessible ( walking or public transport) with good parking. There is a nice restaurant there as a cafeteria style with good selections of local cuisine. We spent about 4 hours there but you can easily change to accommodate your needs. They also have a small gift shop with souvenirs, books etc.

    Absolute must for families with children and adults who are interested in learning/science! We spent almost 4 hours at the museum and practically had to drag our 10 year old son out. The museum is interactive, with everything translated into English so we could fully enjoy. We even had an amazing teacher/worker who spent over 10 minutes with our son, teaching him about electromagnets. Amazing and totally worth the visit. The inside cafeteria had great sandwiches and deserts for reasonable prices.

    Love this place. Very large collection of vintage pinball machines, as well as many classic arcade games. You can also order drinks here. All of the games are fully playable. A fun activity night.

    Really funny to do On a night time as open until 9, but didn’t take very long to get around so thought that 40pln each was a bit much considering it was only 2 rooms

    Very nice experience! The museum and the guide were wonderful! You can see the history of Polish vodka as well as how it was made back then and now. At the end of the tour there was a vodka tasting !
    The gift shop also was full of souvenirs in very good prices.
    Definitely recommended!

    Nice place for revisiting the history of gaming. The people were nice, offered tour over the museum, wanted to help if I had some problems or if want to change the game. I spent more time that I was planned. Totally surprise in the underground walkway. And they have the virtual reality section on the other side of walkway, but I didn't visit it.

    Brilliant museum in the heart of "communist" Warsaw. Painful, informative, yet somewhat uplifting. Perfect place for foreigners to learn, and be reminded of what life was like in this amazing city, and feel the undefeated spirit of polish people under Soviet era. Well worth visiting. Great to sit in the little cinema and watch old propaganda films with elderly poles, now being able to laugh at how it once was. Young people would not believe it! Will def. return. Hopefully the shops can expand with more PRL merchandise.

    A nice museum but was expecting something more grandiose for such a renowned artist. We had the chance to listen to a 30 minute concert. Not to be missed if you are a fan of piano.

    Very unique museum for rescued old neons explaining their history and also their role in Polish history. Museum is not very big but covers the subject very well. Not safe for lively small kids. The neons are not to be touched! They are fragile and some had dire warnings one to get electrocuted if touched. For adults and teens this is great! The location is a bit shady. But that increased the experience.

    This is a little known museum that goes quite extensively into the development of banking, history of Polish (and other) numismatics, engraving of print and coin monies as well as the markets. You’d never tell this from walking next to the building. Worth a visit since some of the rarities there are absolutely stunning.

    After visiting Poland for almost 30 years, I'm still discovering what hidden gems Poland has to offer. The Muzeum Wodki is at the forefront of revealing just how a nation has influenced the world with its talents, especially in Wodka. The tour was very educational & interactive, taking you back a thousand years with the history of Wodka to the present. Ending with a pleasant tasting session which you can continue on in the relaxing roof top Cocktail Bar. A definite must see location.

    This is a fine small museum that tells the story of the Soviet slaughter of Poles during the Soviet occupation in WWII. But it is more than a museum. Both the museum and it's grounds comprise a beautiful and moving memorial to the victims of that slaughter perpetrated by Stalin, who made a devil's bargain with Hitler to divide and subjugate Poland during the second world War. A must for any visitor to Warsaw with an interest in history. Tickets are free. Almost all signage in Polish only. English speakers get the audio guide or use your phone and ear buds.

    Definitely a place to see for those interested in World War II history. A sad and depressing place but it surely makes people understand what did it look like when Germans conquered Warsaw and why Warsaw Uprising has truly happened.

    If you've more than a passing interest in Science then this is a great little museum to the life and work of Marie Curie. Just outside the old city walls (Barbican) understated signage, would be easy to walk past and not realise this was her former home. Really helpful staff and a decent audio guide through this small museum, mock up of their lab, apparatus etc and a good small exhibition downstairs of Radium related products.
