4.5 / 5

Definitely worth seeing. You should take some time if you want to see everything in peace. Highlights are of course the Concorde and the Tupolev. Otherwise, of course, car fans get their money's worth, keyword Formula 1, Ferraris,... The Imax film about the Hubble telescope was also definitely worth seeing. So: a really successful day, especially for our boys (13 and 17) :-)

The tour guide was super personable and friendly. He involved us in the tour by asking questions, but always in such a way that a pleasant atmosphere remained. The tour was the perfect length and the information was very well chosen. We were a very mixed group of all ages and I think everyone had fun. We learned a lot and laughed a lot, the tour was very worthwhile for us :)

Very great event, we would book again at any time! We explored Heidelberg and Heidelberg Castle on our own during the day. In the evening the night watchman tour with lots of background information. Simply great!

Very interesting with many very neat exhibits. Just a look at the Concorde and the Tupolev is worthwhile. The entrance fee is justified considering the large investment.

Fantastic, worth a visit especially if you have an interest in anatomy or work in the medical field.
