SCIENCE MUSEUM
Deutsches Museum
( 21 791;
www.deutsches-museum.de
; Museumsinsel 1; adult/child €8.50/3;
9am-5pm; Deutsches Museum)
If you're one of those people for whom science is an
unfathomable turn off, a visit to the Deutsches Museum might just show you that physics
and engineering are more fun than you thought. Spending a few hours in this temple to
technology is an eye-opening journey of discovery and the exhibitions and demonstrations
will certainly be a hit with young minds.
There are tons of interactive displays (including glass blowing and paper-making), live
demonstrations and experiments, model coal and salt mines, and engaging sections on
cave paintings, geodesy, microelectronics and astronomy. In fact, it can be pretty over-
whelming after a while, so it's best to prioritise what you want to see. The place to enter-
tain little ones is the fabulous
KinderReich
(Childrens Kingdom) where 1000 activities,
from a kid-size mouse wheel to a fully explorable fire engine, await.
The museum's collection is so huge that some sections have been moved to separate
locations. Vehicles are now in the Verkehrszentrum (

, while aircraft are at the
Flugwerft Schleissheim (

. Combination tickets to all three museums cost €15
and may be used on separate days
