Pretty cool! The tour takes about an hour and you learn a lot about the creation of Earth and specially about this particular Austrian region. You get to watch some movies as well as a pretty good multimedia show at the end. They also have an app now where you can use cardboard to see some stuff. Of course, the regular tour is kind of boring for (small) kids. But: they have an where (and parents) can dog for fossils themselves: pearls, shark teeth and bones can be found. I'd consider the family-price for half an hour digging with 15 euros moderate. Also, they have a pretty good playground. I visited this on a field trip with my son's class. I feel I did not receive the full experience, which is why I cannot rate a 5 star, however when we return to visit the on a private tour as a family, I am sure that will garner a 5 star rating. During our class field trip, however, we really enjoyed the time the staff put into assisting our group with the activities. Although the staff were not all native English speakers, and some did not speak English at all, they still managed to accommodate us well and make the field trip a great success and very memorable for the children. The best part, of course, was the sand pit where the children (and adults!) could dig for fossils! They absolutely adored this and would have loved to have spent all day there if they could have. Many were overjoyed each time they found a manta or shark tooth, a pearl, a bone fragment or piece of a volcanic rock. A great way to spend a half hours time! They also really enjoyed the Spielplatz, naturally, but also were avid listeners on the group lecture about how the earth was formed. A wonderful experience led by a great guide, a biologist who works at the museum. Bravo! All in all, Fossilienwelt is a wonderful place which I would definitely recommend to friends and would go back for a visit ourselves to get the full experience. Best birthday party ever! Really well thought through, exciting and educational. The movie projection, the tour of the museum, the sausage grilling was a hit and the treasure hunt is an adventure especially when a pearl is found- this all makes for great fun and memorable birthday. Plenty of free parking. Thank you to the whole team and to our wonderful and very knowledgeable guide! Very interesting with great outdoor place suitable for a whole day visit! The and fossil exhibit are fascinating but you go through it fairly quickly - perhaps €14 is a little overpriced. If you have a NO card and get it for free, it's certainly worth it. For the additional area, you pay €7 for the park + water play area, or €10 for these things + sand pit excavation access. Our eldest child loved the sand area. Both enjoyed the water and walk around the park, where there are more play facilities, including a huge slide. Unfortunately, the big downside was the catering. There is one food truck to serve multiple families arriving simultaneously with - one person quickly takes the payment, while only one person prepares the food. Despite her best efforts, this person was overwhelmed and the wait for food was too long. My tip: eat before you go and avoid the lunch hour. Poorly organized, overpriced, outdoor is only a mediocre playground, the exhibition has 0 educational value. It is excellent with kids. After a quick view of the museum, can look for fossils and visit the tower for a short walk. A nice, small and interesting place with very friendly staff. The small is very informative and the are has some playgrounds for kids. You can also dig 1h in a sandbox for perls , stones, shells and shark teeth. Overall, a good stop to spent entertaining 1-3 h. Only "downside" there is no restaurant onside. Very nice place to visit with young kids, playground, icecream, fossil "dig" and a short walk on the nature. The tower is closed because of corona, but still super exciting for kids. Nice place for to learn about fossils and it is mesmerising to know that the around Vienna was a sea! totally recommended! Overall good, informative and interesting and a lot of playing areas for Perfect for children. They can dig in the sand to find fossils. The is really small, 2 mid size rooms and one where there is a short movie about the and the excavation. For the price of 14€ entrance only for the isn't worth it for the experience. If you have NO card you would have free entrance only for the museum. You need to pay additional 10€ per person if you want to play in the playground and walk around the garden with a 30min "excavation". If you are a parent and you just want your kid to do excavation you can't because you would have to pay 10€ also for yourself. For a family of 4, each costing 24€ this is too high price for what is offered.
