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.

Very nice retrospective of all modes of travel... - Beautiful place bringing together all modes of transport, land, aeronautics, maritime. You will find collectors' items, information and explanations, as well as demonstrations for young (and old)!!
Possibility of restoration, I highly recommend

Nice atmosphere, good service and very delicious food!!!! - We have had an annual subscription for many years, and we have found it to be an impeccable place for us to eat. Bistro Mishio meets all our requirements. The food is so delicious that you can imagine a five-star restaurant if you close your eyes. The service is of a very high standard. The always smiling Babsi, who is always sympathetic to the children and helps with the selection and operation.
We wish you prosperity and good guests shortly❤️

What a find! Wonderful museum! - Museum located near the campsite where we were staying. We walked past and decided casually to go inside to shelter in a day with probable rain. We didn't have high expectations. We paid for the entrance ticket to the transport museum alone 35 Chf per head us adults while our 3-year-old child entered for free.
We went in at 11am and left at 5pm with the speaker announcing the exit.
Wonderful!
Interesting for adults but spectacular for children.
You can get on many means of transport on display. There are many interactive games and flight simulators, train driving.
Very nice also the car part with the theater of collector cars.
On the outside there is a spectacular playground / construction site where children can wear a helmet and reflective jacket and dig with shovels and work with excavators. Our son didn't want to leave there anymore.
We loved everything!!
We had lunch in the museum's self-service restaurant.
We would love to come back again to also visit the chocolate museum and other parts that we did not have time to see.

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.

A crush in Luzerne - We spent a pleasant time around the means of transport. You can visit the interior of an airplane, train. Immerse yourself in a space module. Several fun and educational games to share with children.
There is a flight simulator for helicopter and airplane to try despite sometimes waiting.
I also tasted coffee served by a robotic arm.

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).

What a big disappointment! The Transport Museum's Swan Song? - You sometimes transfigure a lot of what was in childhood. So are the visits to the traffic house. When we went to the transport house with friends this January, we all became very disappointed and disillusioned. It began at the ticket office, where an admission fee of 35 francs was payable. Not too much if the centerpiece of the exhibition, train and rail, had not been closed. What? That is why we went from Basel to Lucerne. A transport house without trains and without model railway is not worth a visit. The tickets were therefore not offered cheaper. What unacceptable behavior.
The disappointment continued. We're in the traffic hall, right? At least we didn't understand what a Hans Erni Museum, the Schoggi adventure and other exhibitions (Oris-Watch, for example) were going to do in the Transport House? Omega as part of the moon landing would have been somehow understandable.
The question also remains what sense a chaotic car show should make, which is a core part of Monteverdi's, but otherwise there are randomly and almost indiscriminately displayed nice or less nice cars, which make no sense in this compilation.
Parts of the exhibition make an almost bleak impression and outdoors, the ravages of time gnaw at an accelerated pace in many places.
We are saddened - and will not come back.
