Écomusée d'Alsace

Great museum to travel back in time and learn a lot of things. There is a small town of houses, stables, towers, shops, bridges, gates, etc, that are open and nicely enriched with multiple related items, each presenting different but interesting info from an era long gone. There are multiple activities to follow like domestic animals feeding, grape juice production and tasting, stable visit, wine tasting, hand crafts etc. There are restaurants and hotel options as well inside this old town. The parking just outside is free of charge, abundant and shaded. You need to visit the earliest possible because the place is quite big to explore and includes a lot of activities to follow and it is very interesting place for both kids and adults. So, you need plenty of time to see even half of what is offered within one day unless you start very early.

Great museum. Arrive promptly at opening as it requires a full day to see everything on offer. A few exhibits could use better lighting. Staff very helpful. Not only ordered a taxi but came out with me to make sure I got it. A designated taxi pickup area would be helpful. Lunch at the hotel restaurant very good with friendly staff. White storks everywhere!

This is a great place to visit if you find yourself in the area. Not expensive and you can walk around at your own pace to see how they used to live in simpler times. It's a 'living museum' so there are people dressed in appropriate costume going about their trades. You can see a working forge, carpenters, and old school with teachers etc. The buildings ar from different time periods and have been dismantled and painstakingly reassembled on site. Really authentic and fascinating to see how housing progressed. I would highly recommend a visit. All outdoors so take a coat!

Very nice experience within the museum.It was Walpurgia's Day and were different interesting events there. And also..inside the museum you can learn how to make the alsacian bow that women used to wear in the ~1900

Wonderful village! We liked it. We were lucky because the museum wasn’t busy and we had sunny day. There is a little patisserie, we ate something, it was delicious. They have done really good things in this village. We bought tickets from the desk, no queue. I liked this museum more than christmas markt.

(Advice for wheelchair en aid-users) All in all a nice day! We had a great day! Nice welcome and a very friendly lady at the reception. It was clearly stated what could be expected with regard to the use of a wheelchair / mobility scooter. Unfortunately, not all houses can be visited, but that makes sense considering the age of the houses. We did have some problems with the thresholds and slopes. There are also many roads with only loose gravel and no wheelchair lane. We do think that some profit can still be achieved in terms of accessibility. In the park we saw many elderly / strollers / aids so I think it is a welcome addition. Threshold aids (from wood, for example) can make a big difference! After all, it is important and nice to also 'serve' people with disabilities. Added pictures situations where some improvement is welcome. Maybe an accessibility consultant can help you. Or a day out with someone with a physical disability.

Ideal for a visit with the family, lots of interesting facts, especially if you speak French. I recommend you buy the ticket online.

Súper cute place with animals and a vegetable garden! It’s a great place to go with children, and you can bring your dog too! Everyone working there was really nice, the place is very clean and very well taken care of, parking is no problem and you have a picnic area to have your lunch in nature. Highly recommend it!

Un village d'Alsace reconstitué et qui permet de voir à quoi ressemblait le quotidien de nos ancêtres. Différents corps de métiers proposent par ailleurs des reconstitutions, nous voyons ainsi comment travaillaient le barbier et le forgeron par exemple. La balade est très agréable, on flâne dans les rues du village ou des animations sont prévues tout au long de la journée. Des animaux de ferme complètent la visite. Mention spéciale pour le gros bouc barbu qui nous a beaucoup plu!
