Das ist interessant. Einerseits finde ich es gut, dass man, anstatt viel Text, sich alles über Kopfhörer anhören kann - andererseits staut es sich dadurch immer wieder. Der Turm befindet sich etwa 400 Meter vom entfernt und ist kinderleicht ausgeschildert. Die Aussicht bezieht sich tatsächlich nur auf das im Tal liegende Umfeld. Auch wenn es interessiert ist, hatte ich eine andere Vorstellung - einen höheren Turm mit Aussicht und eine Außenanlage mit Figuren oder so. Die Parkplatzsituation vor dem ist etwas unglücklich - spielt aber unbedingt eine Rolle, da es einen Shuttlebus gibt von naheliegenden Parkplätzen. A great with a lot of worthy exhibitions. And many things for children to join and play. The only pity is that the language choices are not many. For foreign children, only German and English are not enough, at least Dutch audio guide should be available there. But in general, it’s great. Worthy to take 2 hours inside, even it’s not a very big museum, though. Amazing museum. It's small but very well made and explained. Beautiful building and surrounding site. Highly recommended for kids. Nice interactive and museum! There is a nice playground in the as well! Good Museum, but mainly for children,family as lots of interactive thing to watch,listen and outside is a playground. Even if u are not an evolution fan, but it worth a visit. Nice walk outside,at the cansl and woods, natural and not too overtrimmed. Bit left wild as huge connect to the Neanderthal valley.. Recommend Interessant. Kann man gut mit Kindern hingehen. Ist für diese kurzweilig gestaltet. The has lockers available for visitors to drop off their items for 0.5 euro, and it takes about 1.5 hours to explore all the exhibits. There is a cave outside the museum, but I do not recommend visiting it because it is artificial and not satisfying. Overall, the has some features, but the cave(Fundstelle) may not be worth the visit. Fascinating and great only let down by the non German guide System. The plug in audio guide only worked for around 50% of the exhibited items. Also the extraordinary exhibition was in German only, and part of the fixed price. This ought to be deducted as an option for non german speakers. Really excellent. Many museums have a prehistoric section but this one was next level. I didn't expect to learn so much about it I'm eating food now and really thinking about my jaw... You'll know what I mean if you go Nice place, it's more for the but the elders having an interest in the history would love this. The entry ticket is 11 euro for adults but for Children and students it's discounted so much better to when you are a student 😀 Overall I just roamed around the outer and liked the creativity. Good place but better for history fans. sehr interessant, besonders, wenn dort eine Führung stattfindet und man lausche kann.. Aber auch so, sehr interessant.. Nicht so begeistert waren wir vom Angebot auf dem Turm und. Drum herum. Die digitale Darstellung der Steinzeit ist leider nichts mehr als ein Gimmick, den man anschauen kann, aber wirklich muß. Kann man in jeder Spieledemo zu dem Thema besser haben. Der Aufstieg zum Turm ist einfach und rollstuhlgerecht. Es bieten sich nette Ausblicke. Die Straße ist laut zu hören, so das die permanent laufenden Ansagen im Turm schon fast nett wirken. Die Fundstelle ist mit rot/weißen Stangen gekennzeichnet. Die. Sonderausstellung haben wir so wirklich verstanden . Ganz nett, aber kein "must have'.. Parken ist leider sehr teuer.. 12.50 Euro, wenn man den ganzen Tag steht. Hinzu kommt noch der Eintritt, doch ziemlich happige Preise. LWL oder LVR Karte gilt nicht. Es gilt die Ruhrtop Karte. Das WC kostet 50 Cent, im 100 m weiter kostenlos. Fazit.. aus Turm und Animation zur Fundstelle hätte man mehr machen können.. selber hochinteressant und informativ. What could be better than following the story of human evolution by coming to the Neander Valley where the Neanderthal fossils were found. Friendly staff and multi-media exhibits. Take a stroll along the many paths through the beautiful forest along the river. Just a quick train ride from Dusseldorf Hbf on the S28, platform 13. This is a small with information not only about the Neanderthal people but also giving information about other human species and finding places. Child friendly, good for a few hours. There is a tower leading to the exact level of the spot where they found the Neanderthal remains. Great for all age groups. The is allowing visits to see the Stone Age and the time of the Neanderthal. Different aspects of the current research on the interaction of the Neanderthal with Modern Humans are highlighted in an excellent way. This makes the an activity for both, children and parents. It was but not very exciting. There is a lot of reading signs or listening, not much interaction. For such an intriguing subject I see lots of options to take the visitor on a journey. And with modern technology you can do so much more to immerse people in the ancient human races and their world. A missed opportunity if you ask me. We didn't go to the outside bits but they looked good. Great exhibition, enriching experience, very suitable learning experience for and adult. We had really great time here with kids. The is good bus access from train station. In the we will receive a headset, you can hear very detailed information in each items. You need extra few euros to the tower, its few minutes walking distance from the building, it’s worth to too. Play ground for also a high light! We spent 5-6 hours in total there! Worth to come again :) The is a hidden gem, specially for expats like me or tourists from abroad, as it has plenty of text and audio in English (unfortunately not that common in Germany). The reconstructions are incredible and are definitely the highlight! But the actually offers very good content, with detail in the scientific disciplines involved and including important civic takeaways. It is also quite for families, since the permanent exhibition includes a lot of interactive elements and an audio guide with voice acting for immersion. is informative, designed mostly to kids, adults can find information as well. I would recommend visiting it for those who are interested in prehistoric era. But most exhibits are replicas. I have known this since I was a kid. It's been updated since and I thought it was very nicely done. However, when I bought the tickets we were told there was an outside also but we couldn't find it. Went back in to ask for help but were just told to go out again and look on the right. That was disappointing. Sehr informativ um etwas über unsere Vorfahren zu lernen Visited with partner and a couple friends. I recommend buying tickets online as there was a long queue for tickets at the museum. Weekend was really busy, filled with families - great day out for children. The signs to the funicular could be a bit clearer, we ended up walking along the road rather than the paved way they had, which we found on our way back. Would recommend just asking for directions if you can’t find where to start. Also, would recommend starting from the outside during winter when the sun is still out and then heading inside for the museum. Overall, good experience, informative, and nice staff. Note: downstairs audio is in German. Wir waren mit der RuhrtopCard im Museum, es war ein erfolgreicher Ausflug. Insgesamt waren wit 3 stunden dort. Under 6 jähriger hat es gefallen das er mit den kopfhörern zuhören konnte. Und wir vorlesen mussten.. im draussen bereich gab es den großen Turm wo man schauen konnte wo die ausgrabungsstelle ist, kleiner Tip holt euch vorher das Rätsel an der Kasse, und macht den Turm vor allen anderen. So haben wir es gemacht. Danach sind wir erst ins Muaeum gegangen. Der Spielplatz für die Menge an Kindern ist aber leider zu klein. Was ich aber auch bemängel ist das die Ausgrabungswerkstatt (im Wald) nur geöffnet ist, wenn Gruppen oder Schulen gebucht haben. Das war ersichtlich. Klar der Wald und der Weg dorthin war auch interessant. Aber wir hätten gerne die Werkstatt gesehen. Ich liebe dieses Museum. Es war immer einen Ausflug wert mit dem Kind mit und ohne die Freunde hatten wir immer sehr viel Spaß dort! The is worth than I expected! Nice English explanation by using headset. Addition to this, I’m not sure about other languages but they prepared printed material in Japanese. Very wide but when I got lost little bit, one of the receptionists was patrolling around and he came to me and asked. Good neighbor and nice hiking area. Definitely buy tickets online as it was only 1 cashier open for the tickets and for the shop. For us it wasnt a wow museum, but never been in one so its out of a bucket list 😊 Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
