"This incredibly interactive museum is fascinating for all ages. Get a history lesson in the most fun and effective way possible: through touch. Learn all about life in the German Democratic Republic by experiencing it yourself.
I recommend this museum because it combines authentic, historical facts with a fun, tactile experience. The DDR Museum is one of the best ways to time travel to Germany's past.
Price: Regular tickets are 13.50 EUR and the reduced ticket is 8 EUR. Children ages 6-18 and students are eligible to purchase a reduced ticket. Children under the age of 6 are free.
How long to plan: I would plan a minimum of 2 hours for this museum. Depending on how crowded it is and how long you like to spend in the exhibition, it may take 3+ hours.
How to get there: The M4 tram stop at Spandauer Str./Marienkirche is about a 5-minute walk from the museum. If traveling from Alexanderplatz, board the tram in the direction of S Hackescher Markt.
Know before you go: Weekends and the summertime will be more crowded. Based on reviews, it seems that the evenings are less crowded and you'll be able to avoid school groups later in the day."
