    One of the best science museums I've visited. If you're curious and interested in microbiology then you must visit it. Interactive and interesting visiting, they have discounts for students.

    Small but fun and interesting exhibit! You get to see many things such as water flee under the microscope and the images are amazing!

    Lots of really good and well explained information. The microscopes can be adjusted to view specimens, and there are some cool activities.

    It’s not cheap at €15 each to say it isn’t very big but there does seem to be more than you realise, it is really good and educational. We both enjoyed it and would recommend it.

    Very small exhibition, but takes an hour just to look everything through. Everything is very interactive and most important - in English

    Felt very high technology and fun. The collecting of stamps on the cards were the best part!

    First was sceptical: though it's for children and boring. But it appeared to be awesome! Very interactive and interesting.

    Единственный в мире музей о микробах — к тому же, интерактивный. Например, микробы можно нюхать или рассматривать под микроскопом. Два этажа совсем не перегружают информацией — весело и познавательно.

    Неплохой недавно открывшийся музей микробов. Не сказала бы, что очень впечатлена, но сходить можно, правда лучше больше времени проведите в зоопарке.
