Sep 2025 visit - We recently visited and didn't get tickets in advance so queued up in the line. Line moved relatively quickly. The initial attraction is full of information and you could easily spend a whole morning or afternoon there. So much to read and view would definitely recommend

One of the highlights of my Krakow tour - Honestly one of the best museums I have been to. I went in expecting more about Schindler and the factory, it isn’t that. It is a very clever, and cleverly laid out museum of the war and impacts on Krakow. Very moving at times. Every corner you turn is something engaging and informative. Personally, I’m glad I didn’t do it with a guided tour as I had the time to go round and read everything, as the majority of it is in Polish and English, excluding any posters/newspapers/signs etc.

Interesting but title of Schindlers Factory is misleading - Museum was very informative about the Second World War, however the title of Schindlers Factory is very misleading, there was very little information about the factory and what was made there.

Schindler factory tour - The factory has been turned into a museum about the work camps etc and it was very interesting. The guide was awful. Talked extremely fast and hurried us thru, that was disappointing.

Disappointment - It is not the real historical factory or real artifacts. Only old photographs that could be found in internet. Only thing genuine (!) was stairs where a few seconds of “Shindler’s list” movie was filmed. Crowded walks through smothering narrow and dark corridors. We climbed three floors very fast ; not suitable for older people with ailments. Guide was enthusiastic and fluent in English.
