My husband and I last visited the museum in May 2016, and we had just as much fun when we went…read moreagain in October 2025. In the nine years since we visited, we have often reminisced how awesome the museum was because it is chock full of cool things. The exhibits are even better now! My favorite area is the tank garden. When we visited, there was a special exhibit about the history of the Volkswagen GTI. We learned so much about how the car was positioned in the market against hot hatches from Opel.
Awesome museum! If you want to see history and like technical items, this is your place! A…read moresubmarine! A concord jet! A Russian version of the concord! WW2 vehicles!! This place rocks! You could literally spend an entire weekend here because around every corner, theres more fun stuff! It's really incredible to see vehicles that are iconic and the museum takes such great care of every artifact. If I could have a gripe, it's a lack of personnel at some of the exhibits you stand in line for. The Concord for example, some parents allowed their kids to run up and down this thing. This is not only a safety issue but they could damage the historical items. When you're done, stop and get a bite as it was tasty but a bit of a wait.
Surprisingly large and well stocked museum for this city (my hometown). Lots of amazing cars,…read moretrucks, trains, planes (including a 747), motor bikes and space travel exhibits. A must see when you are in the area! And the food is good too.

He's a gear head and WWII fanatic and he said he could easily spend 2 days in the museum because there's so much detail. The placards on every display were in German & English and explained everything so well. His favorite was Mercedes Gull Wings & the U-9 submarine. He said it's too hard to narrow down bc it was all so amazing.

Schade, aber dafür ist der Eintritt im Moment frei, und es gibt wenigstens einige Ausstellungsstücke und eine Sammlung zur Geschichte der französischen Besatzung der Pfalz nach 1945 zu sehen. Das Weinmuseum (hinter dem Eingang die Treppe hinunter und quer durch den Innenhof!) ist von der Schließung nicht betroffen, hier werden viele Schöne Artefakte aus der Gesichte der regionalen Weinwirtschaft präsentiert. Abgesehen von dem netten älteren Herrn am Eingang sind die Angestellt leider nicht sehr freundlich (Zitate: "Wo wollen Sie denn hin?" und "Hier können Sie nicht rein") und wenig hilfsbereit.
Very interesting Maya exhibit! I learned a lot without being too overwhelmed and it took about 1.5…read morehrs. I like the audio sets you get at the beginning since they let you go at your own pace and they have it in both German and English. Unfortunately there were many parts of the museum - interactive exhibits and movies - that were only in Germany (but I get it, we are in Germany after all!) so my experience was a little limited. There is a students discount but only up to 26 for some reason. Even though I was a student with a valid ID I had to pay full price.
