Probably would have been able to appreciate the museum if my children were older. My 4 and 1 year old were not impressed. The escalator and walking around the grounds did make for a lovely morning outing.

Really interesting place, very eerie especially on days where there are few visitors. The ruhr museum is huge and worth the visit, especially the last floor showing the evolution of coal plants and their impact on the region. Everything is very detailed. Have a stroll in the rest of the park if you have time, there even is a swimming pool !!

A very Iconic place in Essen one should not miss this place if visiting Essen. The place is very vast lots of things to see around and there is no entry fee. There are few museums located within the premises which are accessible after buying the ticket though the place itself gives some idea about the history. There is a very huge escalator leading to Ruhr museum which again is unique within itself. The nearest public transportation is via Tram station zollverein which is close to the entrance to this building.

Very fun experience- part UNESCO world heritage, (small) part lost place. If you’re there please book a tour including a trip to the terrace offering a panoramic view and think about renting a bike at “Revierrad” on the premises to see all the cool places. You can learn lots about the coal industry, the Ruhr-area and much more or visit the Red Dot Design museum to catch an exhibition. There are lots of dining and snacking options as well. One caveat concerns smaller children: only one tiny playground is to be found - so look beforehand if you want to make a stop at the beautiful Kinderburg playground close-by.
