A popular entertainment center and museum especially loved by children. The exhibition is located in two buildings on eight floors, includes more than 30 halls and a full-fledged scientific center. In the House of Nature you can learn a lot about the fauna and flora of Austria and other countries of the world, get a lot of useful historical information, take a trip through the human body and look at prehistoric dinosaurs.

Drove 2 hours to see this place since it looked unique and fun from the online pictures and reviews. Overall it was disappointing compared to other science centers.
Many areas were dark and quite frightening for our younger ones, even 4+.
We were s.. Read more »urprised by numerous gory scenes and photos of dead or injured animals, and human surgery. There is also a large skeleton character dressed up with spooky red lighting.
Maybe we missed it but we didn't see any warning or age rating notice.
Everybody loved the aquariums which varied from small to very large. The dinosaur section was much smaller than expected.
It was interesting but not worth the big trip. Prices however are reasonable.

The exhibits are small and almost entirely in german and not friendly to english speakers.
Compared to the natural history museum in Vienna, this one is a joke in comparison. But it’s the only game in town so if you can’t make it to Vienna, go on a slow day and when it opens and avoid the crowds.

Absolutely amazing! I am a 30 year old and still had so much fun. Yes I am a bit of a kid, but this place is well worth the entry price.

The first floor has the aquarium, which I personally think is a must-see. It has piranhas, squid, stingrays, small sharks, lobsters, crabs, and other animals! The second floor has precious stones, if I remember correctly.. and a lot of curiosities about the universe, like how much weight you will have in each planet; the other floors have other themes that are worth exploring!!!!!

It was fascinating.
Quite a large museum with interesting expositions. We spent the whole day here.
It is possible to have lunch without leaving the building. The restaurant is quite expensive.

Great place to go with kids (not necessarily but kids would enjoy this place a lot).
Entrance is cheap taking into consideration how big the place is (from outside it looks smaller than it is).

Quite a lot in a small space which is great - but not of the quality of the London museums. Popular in the summer holidays especially when it’s raining - but get the kids thinking a bit. Mostly in German - as expected.
