What people are saying about Historical Museum Frankfurt

Overall rating

4.3
(37 reviews)

I loved it very, very much, there is a lot of history, the museum is very large, they should collect everything, its spaces in the castle were the most impressive. I suggest you take a helpful map that mentions all the points. Children also do not pay, however, they must place their colored labels on it.

The scavenger hunt was a great way to get to know Frankfurt from a new perspective. We discovered hidden corners of the city that we didn't know about before and learned interesting facts about its history and culture. We were able to solve all the questions, even if it was tricky at times.

Easily solvable tasks, partly with the help of the hints, nice tour through the city. The 9 year old children especially liked it

Great experience! I really recommend if you like if see your way things, make stop for cuppa or just make some stop !

Entertaining, with opportunities to stop in between, very, very pleasant!
