On average, visitors spend about 2.5 hours at the museum. Our exhibitions are so diverse and there are so many experiments in the Science Center Spectrum that you can easily spend a whole day with us.

You can find a timetable for all our current events in the Calendar (in German).

Almost all age groups will find something to look at and marvel at in the Deutsches Technikmuseum. However, some children are somewhat daunted because the museum is so big and so loud. It is often helpful to keep the first visit moderately short and targeted to a specific exhibit: In our experience, children of daycare age are particularly fascinated by our large objects (airplanes, ships, locomotives). In addition to the various exhibitions, school children especially love the Science Center Spectrum with its more than 250 experiments.

Check out our free activities (in German) and events (in German) before you visit.
