It's a nice place to get yourself and your kids acquainted with the history of the area. However, it feels a bit too static. There are no farm animals, there are no activities to demostrate crafts (but for one and only spot) The kids usually get bored rather soon from looking at pretty much the same wooden buildings, no matter how important the development of the architectural style they represent is. There is a playground, though, and a restaurant. And a park train. And a special water spring with "healing" water.
Generally, I wouldn't say it's an exciting place to go to, but just nice. Very nice. A lovely walk in the mountain woods, looking at and inside some pretty countryside buildings of old.

GOOD WEATHER? - a MUST - VISIT THIS PLACE to learn about Austrian History and architecture - FIVE STARS!
If the weather is nice this place is amazing - it is 100 acres of historic buildings that have been dismantled from their original settings and re-built in this park.

A great place for kids to let off steam too (if we had any!) .... and entry I think was about...

The Freilicht Museum is a very interesting embodiment of a theme park - many buildings from different centuries were dismantled in different areas of the Salzburg district, such as Lungau, Pongau, Pinzgau, Tennengau, Flachgau, and then assembled and installed in one open-air park. You can see different lifestyles and different tools. It is simply incredible and interesting for both adults and children. The railway runs continuously in the park, the train is included in the cost of the ticket (€12, October 2024). I recommend it, the park located in the forest. It is big and very interesting, you have to plan a few hours...
