Beautiful Museum with many interesting watches, included in the black card. but.. It won't suit everyone. As an adult I was very interested but my 13 year old nephew wasn't very engaged. If it was more interactive or if there were cleared English explanations, maybe he would appreciate it more. So, if this place is on your path anyone and it's free for you (with the card) - do come! Otherwise and if you have other places to be, it's ok 😉 As mentioned in other reviews, the staff is indeed very nice and welcoming ☺️

Nice place to visit to see the evolution of clocks in general. It also has a special section about Cockoo clocks. There are some exhibits where we can press a button and get a feel of how the clock used to work. The demonstration of the very old musicals and clocks by the people working there was just amazing. The sun clock outside the museum was surprisingly very accurate to the minute ! You can easily spend a couple of hours here.

This was definitely worth a visit. English language booklets are available for self guided tours through the museum. We spent several hours learning about the history of time keeping and the evolution of the clock making craft. The staff provided a demonstration of an enormous clock which had traveled around the world (in German with English translation afterwards). There's a cheap parking garage a short walk away.

The guided tour was very interesting, much more informative than going around alone would be. The guide showed how the clocks worked, and the concept of time that developed from the Middle Ages, where clocks were out by approximately a minute a day, to today. The need for a constant time within a town, to the railway which brought the need for shared time. Why a cuckoo (cuckcuck)? What about an orchestra clock?

Really interesting museum. Descriptions were mostly in German but the counter lent us a booklet with English descriptions that covers most of the museum. There is also a short demonstration of the musical clocks in German and English which we enjoyed very much. Overall we had a good time and a great place to visit especially so when the weather is not ideal. We spent about 2.5hrs there.

Wenn man auf der Suche nach Aktivitäten fürs schlechte Wetter ist, sollte man sich das Deutsche Uhrenmuseum unbedingt anschauen. Es werden sehr abwechslungsreiche, interessante und unterhaltsame Führungen angeboten. Die vielen Exponate laden zum Verweilen und Studieren ein. Eine tolle Sammlung! Vor allem die vielen historischen Uhren (insbesondere die älteste Schwarzwalduhr, die Uhren mit Ziffernblättern für die ganze Welt und die Boll-Uhr), die in der Führung vorgestellt und teilweise in Gang gesetzt werden, machen den Besuch besonders angenehm. Ein kleines Manko ist die Parkplatzsituation vor dem Museum: Wenn man sich länger in der Ausstellung aufhält, reicht die maximale Parkdauer von zwei Stunden möglicherweise nicht aus. Ein Museumsparkplatz wäre dementsprechend eine gute Sache. Anmerkung zur aktuellen Zeit: Selten habe ich ein so gutes Hygienekonzept erlebt. Digital wie analog kann man sich zur Kontaktnachverfolgung registrieren und alle Mitarbeitenden, inclusive der Museumsführerin, trugen konsequent Maske. So kann man trotz der wirren Umstände die Aufstellung in vollen Zügen genießen. Vielen Dank für diese Umsicht!
