Parents should be mindful that some images and themes could be disturbing to children - and adults. Younger children might not be ready for some of the exhibits, but of course parents are the experts on their own kids.

This is a Museum that everybody should go to at some point. They go deeply into this horrible time in history and it is very upsetting, as it should be. You will most likely come out of this thinking a bit differently and learning a lot of things you did not know about the holocaust beforehand.

The exterior museum design was perfect in shape. The inside was a very nice tribute to those who were victims of the holocaust. There was not a dry eye among those in my group. It explained a lot of the history and delved into parts of the holocaust that you don't hear about.

This is not a place you should go if you want to have a happy-go-lucky weekend. It is a somber and sad place commemorating the horror of the holocaust. However, it is something very important and worth a visit, at least. It has a small fee, but the exhibits are powerful and moving. Some of the exhibits rotate.
