68%Baby-Friendly
View Map

Positives:

  • Stroller-friendly paths: Most indoor routes and outdoor garden paths suit small umbrella strollers.
  • Elevator access: An elevator connects floors for easy movement with stroller or carrier.

Challenges:

  • Narrow doorways: Birthplace rooms have tight doorways—use a carrier, not a pram.
  • No dedicated nursing room: Restrooms lack baby-changing tables; plan breaks at nearby facilities.

I was very impressed. It was incredibly magical. I adore the poet, and for me, visiting his dim (this museum) was like touching a sacred place. I liked how modern and antique styles were combined. I learned a lot of new things. The atmosphere inside is magical and enchanting.

It's really worth every cent for this museum. With ticket you get free like phone thing and you can listen history on it without headphones. The history is interesting, the main hall is amazing with interactive fairy tales.

Maybe a minute or two maximum for most (a complaint I have fo...

I never thought visiting a museum coul...
