Verkehrshaus der Schweiz Reviews

Very interesting and great with children the entrance is quite expensive but it's worth it.

guarantee for wo-ow effects!

you don't get enough!

One of the best museum in Switzerland, exciting and didactic.

Planetarium very interesting and competent guide through the winter starry sky

Visited with a 2 and a half years old and had a good time. Not everything is interesting for young kids (indeed machinery can be intimidating) but one can easily spend a day thanks to the many kids oriented acrivities, which scale well up, I suspect, up to 13 or so. After that it really depends on one's interests.
As a grown up I found the lack of depth on most descriptions appalling: with so much technology on display, the excessive dumbing down of much of the text was at time frustrating.
For any European standards it's exceedingly overpriced, but in line with local prices.

One of the must do's when in Switzerland for kids and adults alike!

very good museum.
I recommend this place

we actually had a good day. However, if you come 2-3 times a year, it is almost always the same, maybe it would be possible, a little faster to bring a change in, or to allow new attractions. Until the next visit.-

Good and expensive, very expensive, almost priceless for family

Great museum. Fantastic for families but also for adults who love engineering and transport

Plan to have 4-5hrs to make the most of your visit. There are 5 different buildings each w a different focus of transportation (aviation, space, train, cars, water,...). You will find lots of relevant information and interactive activities.
There is a chocolate exhibit about the history of Swiss chocolate that is worth the extra cost and 20min. We didn't visit the planetarium but it had good program.
Food court and snack bars available.
Good for little, big, bigger and biggest kids and grownups!

Super interesting. The best is the planetarium. But for every little thing extra money is required, such as Children's Railway, therefore 1Sent deduction

For me the best museum in Switzerland. Always something new. You can actively participate and touch the objects. My daughters love it too.

Interesting place
Learning something new

The Swiss museum of transport worth to visit. There you can try the space transformer what I liked

Very nice there, big and small children can be employed there.
But the entry is not without and then you have to pay extra for the trampoline and then so much, I think is not correct.

Very diverse, excellent if you are looking for nostalgia and admiration for the evolutions of the time. Planetarium and media are also very interesting!

It is always worth a visit for children and adults and there is always something new to discover. There is a discount with the Raiffeisenkarte.

Lots of variety and lots to see. Apart from the classics it has games and simulators. The price is offset. A visit that cannot be missed if you are in Lucerne. recommendable

It is wonderful here at the Verkehrshaus in Lucerne, on the beautiful Lake Lucerne.

One of the best infotainment locations in Switzerland. There is something for every age group, every interest (technical, historical, artistic, etc.).

Even for big children, there is a lot to do, always like to go there.

Great place for the kids. Full of activity outdoors and indoors

Nicely designed museum. Ideal for families as there is something to discover and try out everywhere.

Very interesting! Since you can spend a day problem ISSUES

Big! You'll need a week to go through all the themes. Located on the premises of is also the Hans Erni Museum. Despite all the technological stuff, this is a very family friendly museum... Lots of museum related toy models of transportation vehicles which kids can put hands on, take rides etc.

An amazing place to see the history of the railroad, cars, planes

Went today and had a terrible experience with a staff member who was so unkind to my child that he ruined the whole experience. Perhaps it was a bit of a race issue, but I am hoping that was not the case. Wanted to love the place but really will not be going back. Let's not even mention EXPENSIVE.

Great place! A lot to see - we have been going there for the last two years and discover something new every time. There are exhibitions about trains, flying machines, including space ones, cars, ships, etc. etc. There is also a playgroung for kids and a lots of hands on activities. In addition to the transport museum there is a planetarium and a Lindt chocolate show and shop. You can easily spend a full day there and do not get to see everything.

The only minor complaint is that, as often it is with this type of places, food in the restaurant is quite average.

I think it's very good, but for a family the Verkehrshaus is extremely expensive. But it was fun on the last Saturday.

It was a great day here. Everyone who is on holiday in Switzerland should take a day off for the Transport Museum, which I think is unique in the world.

Visited here as mid 20 aged tourists from America. LOVED IT. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys planes, trains, automobiles, aquatic and space transportation. Seemed like it was great for kids too. Probably spent 4 hours reading and looking at everything :D

Nice experience many interactive explanations and varied themes all based on means of transport in Switzerland and a little more! A must see!

Visited the cinema, but not allowed to take popcorn in (bought in their own shop next to the ticket sales booth!) And not told earphones - to listen in English - are available, despite buying tickets in English. Nice seats.

Great experience! Spent 4 hrs here with kids. Must to visit.

WC: no disinfectants to clean the toilet lid. Also no hooks to hang up your bag or jackets !!!!

It's huge! You really need a whole day if you want to see/ experience it all. We were a bit late (unfortunately) because we wanted to see it all but couldn't. The museum part with trains was so nice to see, we also enjoyed the moon landing show in the planetarium and did go on the Swiss Chocolate Adventure (nomnom)!
So please, if you want to visit it all: go early in the morning :)

If you want to do your 10,000 steps a day, you will definitely get your money's worth! Can mn spend the whole day in BH-Luzern? .... YES you can

The Verkehrshaus in Lucerne has a bit of the reputation to be just a good entertainment program for children and with these lines I would like to vehemently disagree because even as an adult you can not only see and experience a lot here but also learn a lot what you first thought to know and it is now evidenced otherwise in the Verkehrshaus is thought up. In addition, really sensationally restored traffic vehicles. From the plane over trains, trains to cars of the highest quality restored. Most, not only look but also touch commit and explore. In addition very much, who wants, to read in order to get even deeper into the matter. Many halls and exhibits that are outside invite you to stroll where you can get there comfortably. I live very close to it and one thinks this is only for tourists but wrong thought! Especially the people who live in Zurich, Lucerne and other agglomerations should do that again "again and certainly everyone will be thrilled and think: Why had not I been there much earlier?

More than 1 day is needed to completely visit this museum. It is filled with things which i had never seen before. One should be ready to walk a lot if he/she is interested in visiting the Swiss Transport Museum. It is a must visit place in Luzern/ Lucerne.

Such a fun and informative museum. There is a planetarium and a film theater with the biggest screen in the world.

Museum divided into four parts; air, railway, water and road transport.

Some fun activities include chocolate experience and flight simulator. Wifi available (did not actually try it). Restaurant in door and a chocolate shop.

I did the Swiss Chocolate Adventure in this museum. A brilliant moment! I highly recommend

We arrived shortly before noon, and the museum closes at 5 p.m. If you want to see everything quietly, arrive at the opening and avoid spending time in the cafet, 4 hours were not enough to see everything! But I recommend this museum !! (despite the price can be a little expensive)

very interesting exhibitions, especially with the cars the presentation of the individual vehicles, very well done ...

Great place for kids, grown-ups would have a small issue finding things to do. The imax is super awesome!

Very engrossing place . You just loose sense of time once you are in there. Very well explained and exhibited

Love this place. Could spend a week there every month.

Great destination for a day trip, but rather expensive.

Very interesting, nice staff, good chocolate exhibition worth a visit

The best museum for the whole family. We have been giving an annual pass for 5 years and every time we visit we find something new. Every visit is worthwhile!

One of the best transport museums even to be seen , and if one is a transport junkey, beware, even if one spends a full day, still it won't be sufficient.
Museum covers all types of transport, starting from rail to road to waterways, to airways
The museum is charges half for swiss rail pass holders

Definitely worth seeing. And you need to reserve enough time for it: D

For the children always an experience. Prices are quite high.

A top cool museum address. Mag I. Everything there for children and adults. Lots of space, stylish exhibitions. Everything great. We always go here with my relatives from Bavaria. A must.
