Historical Museum of the Palatinate

This place usually has very interesting exhibitions on various topics. Often big global exhibitions (like Titanic) stop over and they make them very enjoyable. A good mix of education and entertainment, consumable for families. Always hands-on games for kids, making the experience for them enjoyable. In summer it’s air-conditioned and a good escape from the heat and of course always a good option for the rainy days. Parking is just a little walk away, with very affordable price.

Nice collection and exposition on the history of the region. The only downside is that German is the only language that accompanies the descriptions. English would be a great plus in promotion of the land.

We visited Playmobil part. It is fine and enjoyable. However, they did not let even a small bottle of water for our child, and they charge 3.50€ for 0,25 liter of water inside. They should also employ one more person at the café. Noone can serve, work as a cachier, make coffee and clean the tables at the same time - within reasonable limits.

A really nice museum with a lot of interesting pieces of roman history. But the special exhibitions, like the recent Titanic event, are really great. Always something very special. The restaurant inside under a glass roof is an island for relaxing. They have some special vegan dishes and the prices are okay. There is normally enough place. On special evenings there is even live-music. It also parts the regular museum and the building for the special exhibitions. Nicely done and a good idea. It might be a place to show you old stuff, but the museum is modern and amazing.

This museum has been under renovation for a very long time and looks like it will be under renovation until sometime in 2019. It is open, but only very limited exhibits. If you're interested in seeing the golden hat from Schifferstadt, forget about it! I have tried asking them several times when it will be fully open and noone knows. I don't understand how a large museum cannot know when they will reopen.

Prices are incredibly high. The person at the counter was friendly and helpful, but even that couldn't save the exorbitant prices. The Richard Lionheart exhibition alone cost 14.50€ and the Robin Hood another 13€ + 7€ for the "normal" museum that was packed away in the basement. 35€ for 3.5 floors of museum is ridiculous. The entry for the Technik Museum Speyer is less than half that price and that offers at least as much as this museum.

Great and good quality exhibitions.

Very good museum. Loved the expositions about the Maya and Richard Lionheart. They provide audio guides. I understand German. It seems to be always very crowded.
