Unfortunately, this museum has been a big disappointment for us. In advertising videos, everything is shown very attractive, but it's not even really called a museum, there are just a few small rooms. The employees say that the trip takes about 40-45 minutes, but believe me, you can easily examine everything in 20-25 minutes. The inside of the "museum" is not as bright and colorful as in the advertisement, so don't expect great photos. There are a lot of visitors, but the ventilation system probably works poorly, the area is hot and stuffy. We visited the museum in April, the weather was cool and rainy, I can't even imagine how it happens there in the summer. For three people (2 adults and 4-year-old child) we gave 1390 ltl and we really spent this money in vain. I don't recommend this museum to anyone, so don't waste your money and time. It used to be great, but now it's a boring and cramped space. Neither we nor our child were satisfied. You can find a lot more fun places in Istanbul.

Even a sophisticated tourist will find it interesting and fun. However, if you have already been to similar museums, you are unlikely to see anything new.

The place is not for teenagers, and especially not for adults. It will be interesting only for children under 7-8 years old.
