Verkehrshaus der Schweiz Review

Usually I find museums boring but Swiss Museum of Transport is something out of this world. I don't know why they call it a museum. There are so many interactive things to do at Swiss Museum of Transport. If you are with kids (or if you have child-like curiosity), you will easily spend an entire day interacting with all exhibits.

There are separate sections for trains, cars, planes, boats & even space (where you can walk in Zero gravity). Visit this excellent museum once in a lifetime for sure.

One of my favorite places! I've been going there since I was a kid in the 80s and will keep going back, now with my kids, whenever I can.

Stayed along from it, visited it 3 years ago.
All types of transport exhibited including a Convair 880 airliner, steam engine, cable car etc..

Take the full pass to access to planetarium and chocolate adventure, it's worth the extra. Easy to spend a full day there.

After a long time I was in the Verkehrshaus again. It has a lot of great interactive things to test and experience.
Unfortunately, entry is very expensive, which is a real shame. The prices for food and drink in the self-service restaurant are also at the upper limit.

There is plenty for small to large, so plan a whole day

Awesome museum where you can easily spend 3-4 hours. It has many interactive displays and it's the perfect place to bring your kids. They'll learn a lot.

Very nice place for family activities. Food is rather expensive.

Nice place for seniors and families, all aspects are detailed to the fullest.

Nice place for seniors and families, all aspects are very detailed.

Good place for children and adult education. The ticket for entry are costly

This museum is amazing! We originally planned to spend three, maybe four hours here. After all, how much can this place hold our children's attention. Turns out that between the train hall with its simulations, the car hall with its mirror maze, or the yard with the 'games' that demonstrate transportation using ships, trains, trucks and airplanes - three hours flew by with us barely noticing it. We ended up spending the entire day here, and still skipping out on things we wanted to see. We didn't even do the chocolate tour!

A highly equipped and welcoming technical museum. You can spend a whole day in the museum with your kids and family, and you're still not exhausted. It's wonderful that the exhibits can be reached.

The chocolate tour was fun. They gave cute little carts. Each seats around 5-6 people. They usually put one group in each. These move on an automated path. It was just about 20 min long tour.

The tour itself may not have something that you already don't know. However presentation is fun.

Instructive visit, implemented well and understandably! Best regards, Roman Z.

Very interesting and instructive.
All in one place, from the history of the auto industries, ships, planes and helicopters to the space program.
There is a Planetarium as well as a Cinema.
Daily ticket for all costs 56 francs.
It takes about 4 to 5 hours to get around.

In my opinion this is the best Museum in Switzerland. A lot of fun for kids and adults.

Many new attractions, is also interesting for adults

It used to be better. Yet completely OK for a day trip

One of the best and most interactive Museum's there is. For all ages.
Minus a star for the steep price.

A really great experience, much more than a museum. Railways, ships, airplanes, 3-D cinema, planetarium and much more. Admittedly, even on a Monday more than well attended. But it's worth it! Actually, one day is not enough. Tip: even if you swallows the price, be sure to take a day pass, so you can go in and out as you like.

The transport museum is always interesting and if you live in Switzerland it is better to buy an annual subscription it pays off. Children there are always interested, some attractions are updated. In 10 times we arrive there and find something new interesting for ourselves!

I was more than pleasantly surprised when I took my colleague and his children to the Swiss Museum of Transport. Above all, it was an absolute highlight for the children, that is: child-friendly from A to Z, so totally recommended for families! But the adults are certainly not neglected either. The chocolate adventure was the culmination at the end of the visit, something of a professional nature, so the words literally stay away. So what are you waiting for? Every now and then in the Verkehrshaus and the team there: Friendly, whether at the cash register or in the museum area, keep it up !!!

Simply awesome. With 2 young boys in tow we could have easily spent all day there on a sunny day!

No I love this place especially great for the children to play around.

Absolutely fabulous- we didn't have enough time to see everything!

Very disapointing. More for children than adults, and far too expensive.

As a transport nerd, I loved the exhibits.

As a quiet person, the number of kids drove me mad.

If you're the same way, you'll want to visit outside of school holidays.

An ideal place for children - various train simulators and aircraft, a lot of equipment that you can look into. The museum seemed to me not big enough. A bonus to the transport is a visit to the Hans Ernie Museum.

Excellent experience for adults and kids, lots of interesting things to see. Many interactive exhibits!

Great museum, comes highly recommended!
It has so many interesting things on display and to try out. We did spend 6 1/2 hours there and didn't see everything (they were closing). Will visit again.

Very clear. It was great fun with the children. You always have to keep the ticket because you often need it to get back in!

Swiss transport museum is a very interesting place for kids and train enthusiasts in particular. The museum is curated with real time vehicles. All the information boards are in English, enabling foreign tourists to read through easily! There are a few interactive equipment that provide real time experience to visitors! Overall it is definitely a good 4-5 Hr visit.

A museum in a central location. And traffic belongs to Switzerland.

Saw ancient trains from the beginning until the present day See the picture of digging the underground tunnel

I think this place is for al types and ages it is not only a museum but also a cinema and there is a chocolate adventure which is fascinating could go there again and again I really recommend going there if you want to give your kids a great time

A very interesting and entertaining experience. You must at least 4 hours or more if you have children. So much to see and do.

Great museum for the whole family, children can do a lot and try it out !!! The intergriete IMAX also offers fantastic films.

Great interactive museum for both adults and kids. Can easily spend one or more days here. The entrance fee is quite expensive but it s Switzerland and it s huge.

Defects:
- Sugar. For children, there should not be chocolate in tons at the entrance, it is the Chocolate Lind Adventure - DIRECTLY at the entrance - Exclusive, on about 200 m2! A supermarket would be more useful.
- Beverages. Since there is no supermarket nearby, drinks are sold to horror travelers. All drinks in 0.5 liter bottles 5 francs ( 4.5 - child friendlier it is not).

Advantages: see website of the traffic museum

Spectacular, suitable for everyone, especially for families with children of all ages! It is divided into aeronautical thematic pavilions, cars, boating and railway vehicles. There are lots of virtual and manual experiments to do. At fixed times there are experiences that you can participate for free. I find this museum very complete and super well maintained. The staff super nice and friendly ..... I highly recommend a visit!

Great but some of the interactive stuff had been broken

It's really good place to visit and best for someone has interest in in various mode of transport.
As of me I loved the car one the most they way you can call some cars in display and know more them was really fun.
Also a tip you would need a whole day for this as there some cool stuff like space room , areoplane simulator and some more cool stuff!

The Verkehrshaus is great. There is so much to discover and play for the kids. One day is actually not enough. The restaurant is also very good.

Very nice place to visit this museum just a little discipline from some visitors

HB9O radio station in the Lucerne Museum of Transport

One of the most comprehensive museums in Switzerland

Technology and history at its finest ....
Modern museum.
Not all (or only limited) possible at the moment (Corona)

Visiting the museum is fun for young and old. The exhibitions for smaller, younger ones tend to be less experience-oriented. For young people it has a lot of wonderful experiences and thoughts. The play area with the reloading area, the trolleys and the garden train as well as the trampi buns offer great variety for everyone. Attentive and very friendly welcome. Good, adapted, friendly restoration. The homepage is illustrative, but can only be used to plan the visit. Unfortunately, some toys were out of order on our day of visit (conveyor belt, mail delivery bag, etc.).
Still happy to come back.

Great museum, unfortunately many parts were in transformation...

Brilliant museum for anyone interested in planes trains, automobiles and ships. Loads of info on offer and plenty of interactive displays to get involved with

Great museum, with lots of things that were right for me!

Superb outing with children! My first visit was in 1986 and there I found the magic of the time ...

Emblematic place on the history of transport in Switzerland. Recommendation: test the hot air balloon ride when available.

Lucerne is also known for its fantastic museum of Transport, it is located near the lake, often the facades of the same building are themed. A visit is definitely worth it, inside it is the story told of the evolution of Switzerland's transport. Along the lake you will find a fantastic park and wonderful hotels. Lake Lucerne and its surroundings are fabulous, snow-capped mountains and green hills that are reflected in the lake. Various events are held in Lucerne during the year. Lucerne a place that must be visited during your visit to Switzerland. Top place

The tip to spend a wonderful day with children and visit
