Best Tourist attraction in Czech

R	Roman “Ancient One” Hrom on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Definetely - worth to visit. We spent here all day with our children (8 and 5 years old) Many scientific based hands-on demonstrations, fun for many hours. Best for adults - slope room, music memory test. Best for children - Castle, exercises. Only movies in Planetarium are a little bit boring.
R	Richard H on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome i think from 6 years upwards
D	Dianne Wilder on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A good place to bring a tech/science interested kid. On the downside, disorganized, noisy and very crowded. Educational output was very low, due to the 'playground' concept. Many of the exhibits malfunctioned or were in need of maintenance. Not as exciting as I expected in terms of experiments, play areas, etc. A bit too expensive for what's on offer. Cafeteria is bad. Rohlik was old, parky were not even warm. The sales people only spoke Czech and were grumpy and expeditive.
J	Jitka Vaclavkova on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great place for older kids (for those who can read). You can spend hours there....The cafeteria is poor though....
K	Kim Dobson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We spent about an hour and a half and it was enough for my six and eight year old. The coolest activities required a wait and we felt rushed through them. Many exhibits were out of order or needed repair. It wasn’t clear how to pay for parking as the machine was not in the garage and then we had to walk all the way back inside and wait in the entry line again to pay the parking fee at reception. It would have been nice to have been asked when I bought my entrance ticket.
A	Adam Lewis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We really enjoyed the 3D movie in the planetarium, it was really educational for children, however it was a tad slow and it put one of the kids to sleep (not a bad thing). The main science museum could be great but unfortunately when we visited around 50℅ of the features were either closed (and labeled out of order) or were damaged. The damaged/broken features just left the kids confused as to what it should be trying to show them, or what they were doing wrong. The canteen was basic but sufficient. There was a reasonable choice of sandwiches and soft drinks. If the queue got too bad there are also vending machines. The staff were friendly although there was little interaction beyond the reception and the canteen. We are thinking of coming back next year to give them another chance as this place has great potential.
A	Andreas Baumgartner on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We spent 6,5 hours with our 2 and 4 year old kids. The best science and tech musuem i've been so far. We visited on a saturday and there's been not that much other people, we didn't have to wait on any station.
B	Benjamin barbarič on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came here with girlfriend, both being 20-25. We were inside for about 3h feeling like 10y old kids all the time. So many fun and interesting interactive experiments. It looks like they were made by people who really know didactic physics. About 10-20% of stuff was broken or didn't work but this is expected due to large amount of kids around and experiments being unprotected for use. The place is really big and there is a planetarium building. I suggest coming in groups of max 4 if you want to experience things together and not crowd the experiments too much. Would advice more english text though.
