One of the better ways to spend a day in Munich, especially with kids. The Deutsches Museum sits on…read morea small island in the Isar and covers pretty much every corner of science and technology, and what makes it stand out is how much of it you can actually touch and interact with: cranks to turn, experiments to run, buttons that do things. It's not just cases full of objects behind glass. Depending on your party and how they like these type of things, plan for at least half a day; the place is enormous and easy to get lost in, which is half the fun. The kids' sections held up well for the younger ones, and the aviation and engineering exhibits kept the adults just as occupied. You can bring in food and some of the areas allow food and drinks so bring your lunch and find a place in the halls to sit if you want to. Buy your ticket online before you go. The walk-up queue when we visited was long enough to lose a meaningful chunk of your day, and there's no reason to stand in it. Depending on which ticket type you get, you may need to stop at the information desk to convert to a paper ticket before entry, which nobody tells you upfront. Some visitors seemed to go straight through; we did not. Either way, sort that out before you walk to the entry gate or you'll end up backtracking.

We spent a full five hours here yesterday and it was amazing. Most of our time went into the…read morechemistry, music, mathematics, and health sections--so much to learn, so little time. We arrived around 11 a.m., which worked out perfectly and gave us enough time to explore most of the exhibits. The cafeteria was extremely crowded with limited seating, probably because it's peak holiday season. The food was fine--typical cafeteria fare. Next time we're in Munich, I'd happily come back to see the exhibits we missed. My teenage kids even said this is the best museum they've ever visited, and they've been to many museums around the world. Definitely a memorable experience for all of us.

The place is seated on the top of the mountain overlooking the magnificent breathtaking landscape of Germany. Reservation in advanced is highly recommended. The bus will take you up , passed thru tunnels and elevators to bring you to the eagle's nest. Such a great experience. You need to read the historical events and prominent people that visited beside Hitler in the upper deck. Wear good hiking shoes and sticks.

Pretty interesting place... Certainly isn't very big, but the infrastructure and architecture is…read morequite lovely.... Other than that, I would say F*** anything about Hitler but they certainly don't glorify him or anything like that, which Germany is very good at. Lucky for us we got to go up on a perfect day, it was gorgeous and the Country side is incredible. We did the tour, hung out for a bit then hiked down back to the buses instead of taking the elevator, which is pretty nice little walk. I would say this is a must in town, and the pricing is pretty fair.

We brought sandwiches, snacks and water which made for a little picnic. The garden is enormous and beautifully maintained. Wish we had gardens such as this in the USA. I think this may even be bigger than the Central Park in NYC - most certainly safer! We went on a Monday but it was still full of people. From what it seems, it's a favorite among locals and tourists alike. Locals wade into the water and there are even some spots where they surf! I believe there's even a lifeguard in one of the areas. They don't just let anyone surf though and there are some warning signs about its dangers. Hubby and I were able to find a bench in the shade where we just enjoyed the scenery for a while. It was perfect for our jet lag recovery The park is also within walking distance from many other landmarks in Munich, such as The Residence, the Odeonsplatz, Mariensplatz, The Munich Cathedral, among many others.

There's a beautiful river with plenty of waterfront space to relax and even a place to watch surfers practicing. There's a huge beer garden by the Chinese Tower, great for a break or people watching. There's lots of well maintained pathways for walking snd bikes. Munich residents are lucky to have this space!
