What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find the Kulturama Museum to be a small but informative spot, particularly well-suited for children due to its interactive exhibits. While some adults might find it less engaging than larger science museums, it's still considered a worthwhile visit, especially with the Zurich Card discount. Language barriers are mitigated by available printed guides.
"Small museum. Possibly more enjoyable for kids. No English descriptions when I visited."
J. Johnson (Jay)
"Since the Zurich card offered discount on some museums and particularly 50 percent off for this one we decided to visit it.
The museum is quite informative but more suitable for children. It has a lot of fun activities to do which might be interesting for adults as well to try but since we had a very short stay in Zurich and wanted to visit one of its many interesting museums, I felt this museum wasn't really worth it.
Some sections are only in German but a printed guide was given."
