Worth visiting with family regardless of age - It is a place for families to visit and experience the history of mobility. We were able to see the past, present, and future of rail, road, space, and water transport from multiple exhibits.

An essential destination when visiting Lucerne - This was a very impressive museum. It was spacious and well laid out, with something to interest everyone. We liked watching the children enjoying the hands on activities especially the quarry and dumper trucks outside! Our main interest was the railway exhibits and there was plenty to see in this area. We appreciated the descriptions in English and everything was easy to understand throughout the whole museum. Plenty of time is needed to fully explore all the different exhibits throughout the various transport sections. The museum increased our admiration of Swiss transport technology. It is recommended for any transport enthusiast and is also very child friendly.

Big, fun museum - This museum is expansive and features the aviation history of Switzerland. There’s also a large exhibit of engines, a feature on helicopter rescues (including from aerial trams!), and even a next-door art museum with transportation-related pictures. One of our favorite parts was the video exhibit of cliff-diving and surfing — don’t skip this part! There are a few features for kids, including a place where you can stand and experience the simulation of helicopter “wind”. The museum is a short way outside the city, but two buses stop there, so it’s easy to get to and from. If you walk the first part of the way there, you get to see several gardens as well as a playground. You can pick up the bus whenever you’re ready.

A very nice discovery!!! - I went back to this museum because the last time I was a teenager and this place is still great and didactic. It is suitable for all ages, especially for children because they can look closely, touch and try certain things. The venue is accessible for people with reduced mobility and takes place both outdoors and indoors. I highly recommend it.

Modern, well-thought out museum - An excellent museum with historical, modern, and experimental models of cars, trains, boats, and planes. This was very informative and would be great for kids, lots of interactive features. We had lunch at the Brasserie, it was delicious and reasonable.

Lucerne Transport House – Discover, marvel, join in for the whole family - Lucerne Transport House – an experience for the whole family! Our children were thrilled: They could actively participate, try out and discover many things. Whether in the field of mobility, space travel or communication – there are exciting hands-on stations everywhere. It is particularly great that learning here happens playfully and interactively. A perfect excursion for curious children and interested adults. Highly recommended!

A world class museum. One day isn't enough to see the museum never mind all the additional activities. Super for kids. - It was a wet day so we decided a museum would be a good idea. We arrived about 10.20 and had to queue around 10 minutes for a ticket. There are quite a few ticket options but luckily we decided to pay only for the museum rather than for the additional attractions. We had breakfast in the little cafe which does proper coffee so it was around 11 before we started the museum tour. We stopped for lunch in the very nice self service restaurant and again for coffee and cake around 4pm. The rest of the time until nearly 6pm was spent wandering around the various museum buildings as there is just so much to see. Also the vast majority of the exhibits have English translation which is brilliant. There are so many highlights, the model railway layout, the numerous railway engines, the classic cars that are transported by a lift - I have never seen that in a museum, the aircraft are fabulous too....Also what is so impressive is the level of interaction for the children - actually getting children to do practical activities such as mending the roads or scanning bags at the airport for forbidden items. Unfortunately we didn't see everything in the museum. I'm just glad we didn't pay for any of the other attractions as we wouldn't have had time to see them. If I lived locally I would definitely buy a season ticket.

Day with friends - We stayed with friends after several years that I did not visit. The museum is nice and allows children/teens to spend a fun day different from usual. The price of lunch is quite expensive, although the quality is good.

Interactive museum for (older) children, quite the challenge for parents - We went here on a rainy Monday in July, thinking this would keep our whole family entertained in a meaningful and educational way. While the museum definitely has quite a lot to offer to (mostly older) children, it also proved to be the place-to-be for parents who liked their eardrums pierced and their patience tested. The popularity of this place is also is greatest challenge: the crowds lead to long queues for the most appealing attractions (like flight simulators) and there is a constant soundscape of screaming toddlers and older children disappointed at not getting a second turn at something they enjoyed. Most of the fun activities are aimed at children aged 10-14, but kids aged 6 pay the same ticket price but are denied access to most of these activities. The biggest letdown for us was the price: €35 per adult is an outrageously high admission fee for something which has little to offer to adults. On top of that, the restaurant is overpriced and they charge extra for certain attractions (like the ridiculous 2 CHF you’ve got to pay for your toddler to ride aboard a little train). Overall this makes the museum feel too much like a tourist trap, although it definitely has potential and could prove a fun activity in the off-season. We might come back in a few years when the kids are older (and with our own picnic).

Well, I expected more - Was disappointing. I guess it's more for kids. Hadn't been there in decades. No real attractions as they are expected today.
