German Spy Museum

A great and original museum in Berlin that you must visit. Very informative and very educational. If you want to go through everything in detail and to read all the general but also interesting information about espionage in general with special reference to the Cold War, you can certainly count on at least an hour in this museum. Tickets purchased through the website for a specific time period can be exchanged the same day for a longer time period at the ticket counter (big kudos to the museum for that ).

Fantastic museum! Really hands on with lots of interactive experiences but at the same time remaining very informative for those who are textual learners. The infrared laser maze is a must visit. Visited with the family, it was quite busy but still plenty of space and time for us to enjoy the full museum.

Great museum. I expected a little bit more but it’s still great. The only thing that I didn’t like is the fact that there’s so much text. At the entrance they have lockers. If you have a Berlin WelcomeCard don’t forget to give it when you’re paying for the ticket, you’ll get a discount. They have many things displayed and even some interactive games which are fun! You should visit it especially if you’re coming with family. You need about 45 minutes up to 1 hr to see all. At the exit you can buy souvenirs.

The place is very adequate for kids. It has few but interesting interactive games. It has many video recordings. You would enjoy spending an hour inside. It has a shop for souvenirs at the exit. You should visit it if you ever come to Berlin

Pre-booked tickets online. Easy storage lockers before you enter. Very interesting museum about how German spies spied on people, many of which you’d never know existed! Also very cool interactive de-coding, laser and password games to keep kids and all adults alike interested. Would definitely recommend this museum to the curious traveler. You could easily spend 1.5hours here! Definitely worth a visit

A very interesting museum, suitable for both adults and children. It not only has exhibits and introductions but also many related videos and interactive mini-games, such as a lie detector and Morse code (you even get a small keepsake after successfully completing it). It’s definitely worth the price, and if you book in advance, the tickets may be even cheaper!

What a fantastic museum! My daughter and I spent a good 3 hours here enjoying their interactive displays while learning about the world of espionage. There was so much to do, from learning Morse code to dressing up and getting little photos out of the printer. To use the dress up area, simply upload your photo to Instagram and hashtag the spy museum (use instructions that are above the printer for correct hashtag), post, give it a moment and it will appear on the screen. Click it, then click print. We had a ton of fun here and even helped another German couple who didn't have Instagram to do theirs by allowing them to post on mine. I wish this place was replicated near me as I would definitely use it for a school trip with my students. They would love all the interactive displays and be learning while doing, which would be amazing. Fabulous few hours out and probably my favourite activity we did while there. 10/10 recommend.

Nice and interesting museum. Much smaller than we thought. Took maybe 45 minutes to go through. Less to do for our 12 year old than expected.
