This is just heaven for young kids, to get to grips with natureand physics.
The German Museum is so large it may take a few days to just graspand glimps at all what is exhibited. But - just watching doesnot suffice - this museum is for touch. Most exhibition roomsare actually small chambers for experimentation. Children andgrown ups are allowed and encouraged to push the buttons and seewhat happens. For some real life exhibits the extensive buildingthat covers a whole island in the river of Isar just was not largeenough. The “Flugwerft Schleißheim” has real airplanesondisplay. And then, there is the Verkehrszentrum at Theresienhöhe14a (near the site of the Oktoberfest) where you can take a lookat old tram and train wagons:
Entrance fee for all three museums is 10 Euro.
The museum is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 pm
The Verkehrszentrum is open daily from 9 to 5, on Thursdays it is open until 7 pm
