An enjoyable way for both adults and children to while away a day. I thought that the exhibits were…read morevery well done, educational, and engaging for the whole family. For English speakers, there are English language exhibits as well as complimentary audio headsets that can be plugged in at various stations. We listened to stories told from the POV of neanderthals. There were also plenty of tools and hands-on exhibits for kids to play with. The permanent collection included introduction of discovered remains, evolution of bodies and tools, myths and religion, health, and communication, etc.
Don't forget to check out the outdoor exhibit, a 5-minute walk away, where neanderthal bones were discovered.
Fantastic outdoor playground.
Nearest parking lot charges 1.5 euros per hour. Also, check out the lovely Cafe Neanderthal No. 1 nearby for a sweet treat.
