Locomotives in a real engine shed, boats you can steer into a harbour, aircraft overhead and a Candy Bomber on the roof terrace.

From six up this is one of the best museums in the city, and teenagers do not get bored. Three-to-five-year-olds like the trains and Spectrum but tire of the rest. With a baby it is comfortable, though the baby will not care.

Under 18s get in free but still need a zero-euro ticket. There are changing tables in the restrooms, several rooms for feeding and breastfeeding, strollers to borrow and picnic areas indoors and in the park. The park also has a playground. Children under ten may not go around on their own. Open Tuesday to Sunday.

Tips for the visit

Möckernbrücke station is not wheelchair-accessible. Use Gleisdreieck with a stroller.
Backpacks and large bags are not allowed inside Spectrum. Lockers are at both entrances.
A ticket from the Museum für Naturkunde gets a second adult in free at the cashier.
The museum park is cobbled in places, so expect a bumpy push.
