It was a fantastic visit for me and my som. There is a big variety of vehicles from historical to date including prototypes. Additionally there is a space part that can be visited to see demos of spacecrafts. Airplanes were also amazing. I think at least 3 hours is needed to see all the rooms. One can also have an experience how to work of engines. There are parts for children to enjoy.

Incredible experience! It went way beyond my expectations. I didn’t think there would be this much to see. My main reason for going was the Buran and Apollo exhibits, but I ended up really enjoying the other sections too. There are dozens of cars, motorcycles, and airplanes on display. You also get to see flown items from Apollo, Gemini, Shuttle, and ISS missions. Capsule parachutes, Shuttle parts, astronaut gear, and even a Moon rock from Apollo 15… Such an amazing collection. The Lunar Module looks almost exactly like the real thing, and the lunar suits are just as impressive. Absolutely a must-visit!
What can I say as an american?I walked into this museum and I seen the biggest space shuttle.I ever seen in my life and just blew it off like any other tourist would come to find out.It's russian.I was amazed the space displays.Were incredible. Not to mention all the other airplanes, the cars, the trucks the trains.This place has everything for the enthusiast.I seen multi million dollar cars.I seen multi million dollar airplanes.I've seen the average guy walking around.I've seen people that were loaded with cash and prestige walking around it is a beautiful museum.
One of the best that i've ever been in.
Spent total of 8 hours in museum but not completed seeing everything. Worth visiting. Most impressive is the B747-200 with interior cutaway.
Just a great to go with family and friends today had Sci-fi as well. So Go to see everyone dressed up. Amazing place and food was great as well. Super place for kid's and there Dad's so many hig boy's toys
Amazing display of land, water, air and space vehicles. I did not expect the huge collection of well-displayed artifacts that allowed up cloce inspection. The Lufthansa 747 is mounted high in the air, can be seen from a distance, and still allows interior visits. Worth a special trip.
It may take more than a day or two to see all this museum has to offer. The wing walk is a must, dont forget to grab your carpet to slide down afterwards.
An extremely well-curated museum that has a little something for everyone. We had an amazing tour guide who was clearly very passionate about the collection. Space, air, road, sea, plus a unique collection of musical machines.

Swimming facility
Water park
Bademaxx, an aquatic facility in Speyer, offers both indoor and outdoor swimming pools that feature exciting water slides and a diving tower. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a sauna and wellness zone for relaxation purposes. The facility is known for its cleanliness and the friendly staff. However, it is worth noting that extra charges may apply if one uses the shower facilities after the outside area closes, despite only having paid for access to the open-air pool.
I was there in 2018. As for the pool, it is warm. It has an inside and outside pool all in one facility. There are two or three slides ,which I found fun to slide in and one sports pool. People there are super friendly. 👌

Pools are brilliant and I have no complaints at all in that respect. The catering provider is awful, however. I was short-changed by €10, went back immediately to complain and I was basically told that it’s not possible to give me the money back. Was completely blanked by the staff and just ignored when I tried to raise it again. My wife also went to raise the issue before we left and was once again ignored by the staff, so had to remind them that she was speaking to them. We were told that ‘the money wasn’t going in their pocket’, but we never accused them of this, so it raised suspicions that it actually was going in their pocket. We essentially had €10 stolen from us, and although it’s not a lot of money, the principle stands that they could have at least been polite and tried to help us out. They said that they would count the till at the end of the day and phone if they were up (which they would have been), but we received nothing. Really disappointed with this but thought it was worth mentioning in case others experience anything similar.
Nice, deep pool for swimming. Warm water pool indoor, and a small one outdoor. I did not try the large outdoor pool as it was out of season, when I was there. Separate sauna area. One long, covered pool slide, that I did not think was fast, but I could see that some people got through it in 7 seconds. I used 22 seconds.
We love Bademaxx. It's nice, clean and the Bademeister are usually very sweet.
Just be prepared that they do charge you more when you "only" paid for the Freibad and you dare to shower for 15 minutes inside after the outside area closes. Sorry, but that was really not necessary!
Fantastic inside and outside swimming 🏊 pool.... 😉
Best price for family
Payment system ridiculously complicated. Employee has to help each family leave the pool and pay
Nice clean stanly steel inside pool with outside pool and big grasfield, good sauna area aswell

It mainly serves Italian cuisine and is known for its excellent organization of service and friendly personnel. The restaurant provides simple, yet satisfying food, along with a great buffet and soft ice cream.

Recommended to arrive a bit before 12:30 AM as that is rush hour where the lines become big. I enjoyed the food, the daily menu has a lot of variety and plus for very reasonable prices. Worth a visit if on the museum at around lunch time!

Nice canteen style food. Great when hungry after lots of walking through the museum. The Maultaschen are tasty.
A little expensive for drinks and food.
We had kids spaghetti bolognese and a drink.
The drinks were a little expensive (especially when it was 30 °C outside. So at 3.50 for a Coke it was a lot.
Also we thought we might have gotten a side of fries with the kids bolognese.. especially when they were 7 euros.
Good wholesome food at reasonable price
Decent food at this museum cafeteria.
Reasonably priced self service cafe. Nice food and good portions. Kids parties can be held there.
The food is average, price is so-so, not super cheap not super expensive... Should be either better food or lower prices.
Great buffet! Nice soft ice cream there too..
Very comfortable!

Beer garden
Restaurant
The beer garden at Restaurant & Biergarten Alter Hammer, Krebs Gaststättenbetriebs GmbH offers a wide selection of traditional German dishes and local beers. With its open and spacious atmosphere, patrons can enjoy their meal while overlooking the river from the tavern. The food is delicious, particularly the 'Maultaschen', and the drinks are refreshing and reasonably priced.
I got the "Trio" option for food, and being my first time there enjoyed a few German beers which were delicious, don't ask me which ones because I couldn't pronounce them if I'd tried lol. We just asked for our servers favorite and she delivered!
10/10. Highly recommend!
Luke S — Google review
Great place for German foods, the only drawback is that they only had cheesecake for desert, nothing else and we wanted traditional German chocolate cake. We got the Palatinate Trio and love it. It’s a bit of everything: liver dumpling, bratwurst & saumagen, served with sauerkraut, gravy and bread.
Top of Germany!! NICE!!! try mixed plate from "Pfalz" , Kellerbier! Ausblick, the View. Great servive
Although fully booked at 5pm, they found me an hour-long space at a small table. I had beer and my meal within 15 minutes and even managed to fit in some glühwein at the end. Wonderful people, excellent food, very popular.
An incredible German restaurant with delicious food.
The staff is nice and welcome, they speak a little bit of English which is a must for such places.
The chicken steak I tried was incredibly yummy! However, the only downside is that they do not serve desserts. There is no a single dessert which is truly disappointing.
The prices are a little bit above average for this specific area. However, they also have the small portions in their menu for the specific dishes which is very convenient - thank you for that!
Also, FYI - they have a lot of tables inside. The atmosphere inside reminds of home, the original old German house.
Nevertheless, the place is nice and located on the corniche. I would definitely come back for sure for the atmosphere 😊
What a great place, so good we visited twice. The staff were great, especially our waitress, who was very friendly and helpful. The menu choice may be a little limited but that helps towards the fact that on both nights there was huge amounts of food and drink being very swiftly and efficiently produced. Nice walk to and from the location from the town centre.
Food arrived in like 3 minutes, so dont expect enything to be fresh. Staff seemed almost annoyed that we came to eat, not sure what that was about. The salad was drenched in sauce.
The drinks were refreshing and well priced. Food portions were fantastic for the cost. For Mediterranean style, I found the meat very salty (only my opinion!), but still good, and the tzatziki was perfection. Just FYI, sitting outside right now the mosquitos are Horrendous!

French restaurant

The wine selection is impressive, featuring options from the renowned Lurton house. During the summer, guests can bask in the charming ambiance of the terrace while enjoying their meals.

My recent dinner at AvantGarthe Bistrorant in Speyer was a truly enjoyable experience.
From the moment I stepped in, the service was remarkably welcoming and courteous, setting a positive tone for the evening.
For my appetizer, I chose the calamari fritti, and it was simply excellent.
The squid was cooked to perfection, achieving that ideal balance of tenderness inside and a satisfying crispness on the outside.
The flavor was fresh and vibrant, making for a wonderful start to the meal.
Moving on to the main course, the steak was the star of the show. It was exceptionally tasty, cooked exactly as I had hoped, and seasoned expertly to bring out its natural richness. Each bite was a delight, and it was clear that high-quality ingredients were used.
Overall, AvantGarthe Bistrorant excels in both its cuisine and its hospitality. If you're looking for a restaurant in Speyer that offers delicious, well-prepared food and attentive service in a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend giving AvantGarthe Bistrorant a visit.
My experience left me eager to return.
Shkodran A — Google review
The food was good. But the service was very average. Between the appetizers and the main dish it took 45 mins, when we asked what’s happening the manager was not decent and he said what can I do it’s coming it’s coming. the excuse was that the well done steak needed longer to cook.
Handling our reasonable complaint about the food was done terribly by the manager or the senior waiter and added stress to the situation
At first i came in alone and felt welcommed by the 2 waiters.
I waited with amazing tasting breadslices with tomato butter and olive oil.
I had grilled squid for starter. Unfortunately it wasnt preparred too well. The outside had a little burnt flavour, and the inside was like chewing rubber.
The Main course was picanha steak with potatoes, asparagus and sauce.
The meat was absolutely amazing in taste. The amaount of potatoes and asparagus was moderate though. The dish was missing some volume and the sides was a little boring.
I had to order the dish twice to feel full.
The creme brule was quite nice.
The local Wine was very good and the waiters was cosy and nice.
I would consider to visit the place again.
Great food and wine selection. I really recommend this place. Wine and meat selection is superb.
It is a must try if you are near.
We stumbled upon this place by pure luck, but left with such a good experience
4 course meal - all superb in taste and presentation.
Wine pairing was superb, and really good value for money.
Really the place, where you understand why the ancient Romans were so obsessed with tasty food... :)
Awsome place, great food and service. Must try the Bavarian beer or the wines. For sure we will come again when we will be in town. Keep up the good job AcantGarthe!
I'm a traveler and came to Speyer by chance. I'm Argentinian which means I love good quality in food. I loved this place. We got a plate of Japanese and Argentinian meet which was perfectly prepared. We got a super good white wine from the Lurton house and a really decent desert as well. We came in summer so we were able to enjoy the lovely terrace. The personal was super polite and friendly. I would come again. I reallly recommend this place!
