The entire area is well worth a visit: the monumental steelworks is a world wonder in its own right, never ceases to amaze, impress and awe. The museum U6 is a great place to spend the entire afternoon. Many interactive displays, hands-on experience, learning stuff, simulators, the architecture of the hall is smart.... In many ways I actually think it is comparable or even better than the Science Museum in London. Children will love it, everyone finds one or the other thing. Beware: the sound room is a torture with more than 2 kids inside at the same time.

Excellent experience, an attractive spectacle. Good location, great room, interesting for children, the price of admission right.

impressive abandoned industrial facility (coking and iron making) with very poor english information available.it is actually a shame that non-czech-speaking guests are not served at all.I could not even figure out the basic plant functioning.such facilities should not get money from the European Union funds.

It's trending, it's growing, it's fascinating. Every year something new is built there. Great place with so much potential lying ahead. It's nice to see something special grows in your home city and you can be part of it.

Very nice, huge, but well interesting. Very good information range, several tours offered. Suprisingly it is rather clean. Big parking at the entrance. 2 technological play grounds (museums?) for kids. We spent about 3 hours in the bigger one. And still enough to do. Buffet also good enough.

I visited Ostrava with my friend and this area was absolutely the most interesting place there! We paid ca 3 Euro for the guide and he went with us through the whole area of Dolni oblast Vitkovice, it took ca 2 hours. He told us a lot about the history of this place and also gave us some good tips what to visit in Ostrava! I definitely recommend to visit this place! :)

This place is really worth to visit with your kids for either education of leisure and entertainment. Lot of interactive exhibits focused on different science segments, however many of the exhibits were out of order or not working properly. 3D cinema shows only two titles. 3 hours spend is just enough.

We were there for long time, because children were very happy there, they can touch everything, they can try everything,....

Fantastic Attractions for the whole Family ... Learn the secret of the steel city... Science and Technology Center, The Small World of Technology U6, Landek Park...

Spent a wonderful half day here looking around. It is well thought out and maintained. All of the items that you can try out are set up for adults as well as children. We were a little disappointed that there was no information on other languages other than Czech especially as it was assisted with money from an EU fund.. Well worth a visit both now and in years to come as it continues to develop the remainder of the site

very interesting to see how they worked in the factories. The guides are meticulous and well explain the various stages of processing

If you are a fan of industrial architecture or just keen on industrial places, this place is a must. Very nicely refurbished ...

This place is best visited before nightfall, so that you can see it in both the light of day and the yellow-orange lights from the streets and its old, rusty lamps that hang above you at tens of meters in the air.This place is so amazing as a relic of intense industrialism. Enormous, red-black, all rusty and impressive through its sheer massiveness, it's the perfect place for cultural events for the youth, such as the Majales festival. I had the chance to visit the working part of Vitkovice too, on the 1st of May, as you can too. Inside, it's even more unusual; when you see the huge machines working, pouring, beating the steel, cutting it from enormous blocks. It's a once in a lifetime experience (unless you get to work in that factory, which is not that cool - literally).
