Wonderful interactive experience for all ages - I had as much fun on musical stairs as kids did! When creating music, you were given the option of purchasing a print out on your way out. Conducting the orchestra was worth waiting for and would likely be a big hit with the younger set. Informative and well organized, well worth a visit.

This place was phenomenal, a real hidden gem. We were on a tour with a very well informed guide, and no one had ever heard of this place. We made our way on our own and were absolutely amazed. Lots of hands on things to do related to sound and music, as well as very informative exhibits. Well worth a visit. Suitable for all ages and musical tastes.

A fun museum where you can learn all about the science of sound, different instruments and famous classical composers. There’s fun interactive elements that both kids and adults can enjoy, the virtual composer part is really fun, would recommend

A great place. The orchestra conducting experience is really fun, and altogether it's worth it (used a Vienna pass for it).

Stannbess

Great place to explore, learn, and enjoy. Lots of history to read and experience, especially composers. And the interactive rooms were fabulous: even the one where you can be the conductor! We did not know what to expect and we were totally thrilled with the experience and with the staff. And this was the least costly of all of our experiences. Go and enjoy.

A hidden prize. We loved our trip there. So much to do, and a great visit with our 5 year old. Loved the coat check so we could leave our stuff and travel unencumbered

We visited the museum in May 2023 as a family with a 3 year old daughter and enjoyed it a lot. Although not too big, it is very well thought with plenty of interesting things and interactive activities both for adults and children. We had a great time, it would be great if all major cities had original museums suitable for the entire family.

If you are a classical music fan you will enjoy and long visit to learn more about composers, their lives, their accomplishments and their struggles. Even if you are not a classical music fan, you will enjoy the presentation of musical history and the musical steps are a huge hit with children of all ages.

As a classical music lover this visit was a must for me. I have learned a lot about music, the cience of sound and my favorite composers. The section on Beethoven, Schubert and Mahler were really inspiring for me and even I already knew a lot before the visit, I still learned many new details about their life and their life in Vienna
