A blast from the past - A real journey to the times of the Nazi occupation, where you can almost touch moments of everyday life in Krakow at the time. At the right price and not far from the historic center. Consiglio!

Worth a visit but chaos outside - Ignored the sites which said must have a ticket in advance and did an impromptu visit. The museum needs roped lines outside for ticket holders, group tours and non ticket queues. It was mayhem and noone knew where to stand there was even a squabble! Once inside it flows wells and you're led through the museum easily. We were disappointed as we thought it would be like a factory setting rather than rooms. Cafe is in the wrong place if you want to do museum and want a snack after..you end up back by the ticket section where it's chaos and full of people trying to get started. Was £8 an adult which we thought was a good price.

Not what we expected... - This was my first in-person exposure to anything Schindler. By choice, I have never watched or read Schindler's List. The museum was informative and interesting but crowded with a lot to read and not what we expected. Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory could have been more about the actual factory and its processes. However, it was really about the lives of the people who worked there during a very depressing time. For those who wish to relive this period in history, the museum tour would be very good.

Great museum. Lots to read. - I'm writing this about the review (not one of the companies who offer tickets) as I bought the ticket directly from the museum. This museum is very worthy of a visit. It's probably a tram ride away from the places most people stay but don't let that put you off; the trams are easy to use. The museum itself is large and takes a few hours to see. There are a lot of photos and lots and lots to read. A few of the areas are also 'dressed sets'. I'd recommend but you will need to be in the mood to read and for that reason I think it would be less appealing to younger children.

Advice for your visit - You may spend 2 hours here. This is what you should know first... 1. There is luggage storage. I could not find any info on the website or on TripAdvisor reviews about bag lockers, so we left our luggage at the hotel, which added 1 hour to our travel to our next destination. When we arrive, there are lockers that would have been perfect. 2. We bought 'skip the line' tickets, yet it is confusing how to use them. Here is the answer: stand by the front door until a teenager calls your name and gives you the tickets (the QR code you get upon purchase is not checked). 3. If you go without a tour, know that tour groups will be blocking the narrow paths through the museum. Just be polite and say Pardon as you push through them, or you will be stuck. 4. The line to get in is in direct sunlight and is very hot. 5. After, be sure to walk over to Hero's Square. See the empty chairs that represent the thousands of Poles deported from that plaza. 6. We still had questions and had to read Wikipedia and other sites to understand who Schindler was and what he did. Maybe if we had a guide...but the museum is more about the general experience of the time than just about him

Pre book a ticket but worth the wait - Hadn’t pre booked a ticket and wish we had, so had to queue for about 45 minutes. Well worth it though. It follows a timeline as you walk through, so much information to read, so take time. Very informative how life changed. Only problem I had was the red lights as you walk through the first section and the very bouncy floor in quite a dark area. Staff were friendly and helpful. shop has sold out of English guides.

THE WAITING IS NOT WORTH THE VISIT - bad management at the entrance, with ONE cash register for thousands of people. Rightly those who have the reservation go ahead but those who for reasons of time or other decide at the last minute to visit it, 1 hour and 30 in a row does not exist. 8I repeat ONE speaker only) The museum is not much.....I thought much better...tourist attraction

Very medium - Crowded victim of its success which is only valid by the film but also by the documents of German origin over the period. But if you are passionate about history nothing to learn there.

Basic war museum - I think this museum offers a lot if you don't have prior knowledge on this topic. We didn't learn or see anything new compared to other museums in Europe. The museum was far too crowded and the ticket inspector was rude.

Disappointment - We expected more about the factory and Schindler's activities at the time, but it was a war museum. Shame.
