OK for a couple of hours on a rainy day but quite expensive. Considering it's a toy museum, there is an awful lot of stuff in glass cases, which our kids sped past. Would expect more interactive ways of learning from a toy museum - many museums around the world with obviously smaller budgets have done better.

We had read reviews of other English speaking reviewers and definitely agree that you need German language skills to get the most from this museum (adults in our group did). The kids soon tired of having to ask for translations if they wanted to know something... but it may have encouraged them to try harder with their language learning! There are some games in the games room in English, but it was busy when we visited and we had to search for them - however our kids enjoyed playing with them for almost an hour once we did find them. As Ravensburger games has international reach, it surprises us that they don't make the museum more accessible for foreigners. There is an English audioguide (they'd run out when we went) - but you have to pay extra for it...

Which leads me on to... the cost. I know in Britain we're spoilt with free entry to world-class museums, but the tickets for Ravensburger Museum seem a bit pricey (we paid €24 for family 2 adults + 2 kids and €7.50 for an extra adult). As it's a giant advert for Ravensburger toys, perhaps it should be a bit cheaper?

All in all, if you speak German and/or want to know about the history of this world-renowned company you're onto a winner. For the rest of us... It's somewhere to amuse the kids for a couple of hours if it rains.
