Fabulous Music Find - This place was phenomenal, a real hidden gem. We were on a tour with a very well informed guide, and no one had ever heard of this place. We made our way on our own and were absolutely amazed. Lots of hands on things to do related to sound and music, as well as very informative exhibits. Well worth a visit. Suitable for all ages and musical tastes.

For music lovers - don't miss - A great place. The orchestra conducting experience is really fun, and altogether it's worth it (used a Vienna pass for it).

Conducting the Vienna Philharmonic - A very fun and educational interactive museum not only about music but also about sound itself. Children would surely be very interesting even more than adults. Conducting the Vienna Philharmonic and being advised by Zubin Mehta himself on how to do it is super fun. You can pay something small and get a certificate for it.

Quite pleasant - Excellent if you have children, I recommend finding out a little about the musical history before entering so you can enjoy it more. the atmosphere was a bit stuffy. I recommend taking as much time as possible because everything in less than an hour is a bit overwhelming. The whole thing in itself is very pleasant.

Great activity with bad weather - Interactive museum. I can imagine that it is also fun to visit with children. What I enjoyed most was conducting the orchestra.

Must Visit! - Wonderful interactive experience for all ages - I had as much fun on musical stairs as kids did! When creating music, you were given the option of purchasing a print out on your way out. Conducting the orchestra was worth waiting for and would likely be a big hit with the younger set. Informative and well organized, well worth a visit.
