Panoptikum - experience it. Good price and worth every euro - We had a super good experience! It was interesting and intelligent - not least the detail with Prs. Obama’s position relative to Trump 😉 Very friendly staff and management. We felt really comfortable and can only recommend a visit.

Never viator again! - Cancellation through this provider is not possible. Will buy tickets directly from the attraction in the future. The Panoptikom is small but nice and is a nice excursion.

Price/quality ratio very good! - It was a perfect museum, where the entrance fee was still normal. There were some figures, which I did not know existed (German acquaintances)

A quick walk through internally. History, Literature and Music - We stayed as a family (4 adults) at short notice on December 25 at the Panopticikum. The online ticket booking was absolutely problem-free, the payment methods sufficient (especially also options without using PayPal). After arriving in Hamburg, the location was quite easy to find and we were looking forward to our first visit to a waxworks cabinet. Unfortunately, the audio guides, which can be rented free of charge on site, had been affected by technical problems and some explanatory texts stopped after just a few minutes. With the audio guide on the mobile phone (QR code) it worked absolutely flawlessly. We all thought the figures were quite well met, but would have been happy (to remember more compliant) presentation. Nevertheless, the price of admission is reasonable in relation to the cost of the exhibition and production of the figures. With children, I rather do not recommend the exhibition, as I think it is designed for adult and adolescent visitors. You should plan the duration of the visit with about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Humorous - Really fun experience! The museum is very small and most of the wax figures are for the older side, which resulted in them not being very good- but this made it very much fun! A place to see if you want a good laugher. The staff was very, very good, but an experience that takes about 30 minutes for us.

Ok - Price okay. But we were outside again after about 30min. Some figures are very old, some do not correspond to the "original people" and already look different. We were a little disappointed. Staff were very friendly.

Dad, Hamburg is not beautiful! - Hamburg is quite nice in the city centre, but only one of many big cities. The railway station region is disgusting. Speicherstadt and Hafen are interesting.

Panoptic, not necessarily - A very old man. Similarity...not always. And very small. Not recommended... too bad..
