Form the guide books my wife and I really wanted to see this during our visit in May 2013, but were disappointed - it's overpriced and carefully arranged so as you enter the foyer you can't see the true extent of the queue to get in to the main area. Once you are in, you can't really enjoy it since... More

This museum makes light of a period where a lot of people suffered ( lack of freedom, foodstuffs, the Stasi etc etc) so while it's "fun", we felt a little uneasy as we rummaged through DDR cupboards, pretending we were being "intereviewed" by the Stasi etc etc Strange..... Crowded. Not so easy to move around an get a good look.... More

We were disspointed in that it was actually a queue with a roof! It was so busy that you couldn't get to see anything or stand and look. The staff were keen to push as many people in as possible without conquesqence. We paid a total of 14 euros for 15 minutes time inside without really getting to see anything... More

This is a fantastic little museum which is reasonably priced, very interactive and gives you a great insight into how life was in the GDR with the East / West split. All the exhibitions are hands on and we especially enjoyed the jail cell and the Trabi car. The entrance fee was decreased as we had a welcome card but... More

Berlin's history is fascinating but also full of tragedy. One complaint I had heard about the DDR Museum is that it seems almost nostalgic for this period in history. I'm not sure I completely agree, but I can understand why some people say this. Many items are presented with a rather shallow analysis (if any); the emphasis seems to be... More

We, two adults and one child (11yrs) went to the DDR museum with lots of expectations. Before the visit we spend a lot of time to understand the history of Germany, Berlin and the wall. The DDR museum is a toy box and does not provide a lot of insights. We were disappointed. We rather recommend to go and see... More

I was really impressed by this museum. It's a must to visit since it's one of the few interactive museums anyone may find!!!Really interactive, making you feel a part of the German history. You can ride a car, browse old magazines, touch historical and old fabrics, etc. It's awesome!!! Even if you have the berlin card discount, check in (foursquare)... More

Visitors to modern Berlin should be aware that there is little sign of the old East/West split. The path of the wall is marked in places, but other than that the city is a vibrant, warm and fun modern Western capital. For people like me seeking some Ostalgie, the DDR museum makes up for it a bit. This small but... More

Small Museum but with plenty of "hands on" exhibits for the kids + a lot of info on living in the DDR. Not that expensive, easy to get to, found it to be very interesting.
