Great idea, well implemented and understandable. Many interesting aspects, even those that you are no longer quite aware of. The historical part about hard coal mining is very clear. You can understand the conditions back then very well. Very suitable for children with lots of opportunities to keep themselves busy. It never gets boring. Parking is free and there is a good coffee next door.

I visited the museum in conjunction with the Steiger tour. A former miner, who drove into the Anna mine until 1972, led through the exhibition. So we learned a lot about hard coal mining in the different areas first hand and with in-depth background knowledge. The already great respect for the performance of the buddies increased significantly. However, the Energeticon also looks to the future. The forms of energy of the future are also illuminated with a great experiment room. The great gastronomy (burger was delicious and garnished with clever side dishes) as well as the event halls also show how you can combine the past and the future. An absolute visit recommendation for children aged 10 and over and all older ones.

My visit to the Energeticon with the 'Young Energy' tour was unfortunately disappointing. Despite the high expectations and the hefty price of 43 euros instead of the expected 21 euros for a family ticket, I found the tour loveless, boring and rushed. There was a lack of a child-friendly design, which particularly irritated me because the tour was advertised as being interesting for children. Without a tour, the museum seems to have more to offer as the exhibits are well described. Despite some defective exhibits, the museum itself is recommendable. However, I would not recommend the 'Young Energy' tour; they felt like expensive rip-offs without adequate compensation. With four kids in tow, I would have liked an interactive, immersive experience, which unfortunately didn't happen.

Very exciting tour through the museum as well as inside and outside. Very informative and imparting knowledge, but you can also become active in one area yourself, you should plan about two hours and for 8 euros this is highly recommended

We went to the Energeticon as a family and had an entertaining time there. In the first section there was a lot to read, which was less interesting for the children (8 + 10 years). But later they got their money's worth and were able to explore and try out a lot.

Here you get a great insight into the world of climbers and buddies. You can go into the mountain and get an insight into the work underground. Worthwhile with or guided

The Energeticon is a beautiful location. Unfortunately, it was noticed that this year they were using someone else's CI for the coming Halloween. Unfortunately, it is also poorly copied, see the logo of the ORIGINAL Halloween Horror House, which is more poorly than fairly isolated

Actually a great location with lots of possibilities. Unfortunately, those responsible are unable to utilize the potential as an event location. You could do so much there. The Halloween event was always great, but only thanks to the HHH team. Unfortunately, for 2024 everything was copied from the original instead of setting up an event with our own name and logo. I think under new management we could get a lot more out of it.

It's a great museum. You can learn a lot about mining here and get a feel for what it was like to work in the shafts. As educational and informative as the museum is, it unfortunately falls into the hands of an operator who thinks it's okay to simply copy a Halloween event. Why not come up with your own title and use existing advertising material that you didn't create yourself instead? I don't know it. It seems as if they are trying to hijack the success of past events and deceive potential visitors. It's a shame that you have to resort to such means, but it also shows how things work behind the scenes there.

I've been there several times and found it quite good. However, I have now heard about the copied Halloween event for 2024 and I think that it simply doesn't work at all.

👍

👍👍👍 Great for getting out with the family when the weather is bad at home, although the outdoor area would be more advantageous in good weather. But all in all a very nice excursion destination and very educational!

(Translated by Google) A very nice museum, when we were there in the summer we could visit everything. Seen very interesting things and learned something. Good place for a day trip with kids. I would recommend it. (Original) Ein Sehr Schönes Museum, als wir im Sommer dort waren, konnten wir alles besichtigen. Sehr interessante Sachen gesehen, und was dazugelernt. Guter Ort für einen Tagesausflug mit Kindern. Würde ich weiterempfehlen.

(Translated by Google) A very nice place for a day trip! It is relatively remote, but it was hard to move the mine! 😌 Nevertheless, it offers everything to do with earth, mining and renewable energies. There you can find out, for example, how the miners used to work in the shafts, what resources and tools they had and, of course, all of this with a suitable environment and background noise. 😯😯 Really fascinating. Due to the current situation, you cannot visit ENERGETICON normally. The CoSchVo (Corona Protection Ordinance) applies in the individual rooms, but as soon as you are outdoors, this is lifted in point MNB. But that shouldn't stop anyone from visiting this beautiful place. Still a very recommendable place for a day trip !! 😊 (Original) Ein sehr schöner Ort für einen Tagesausflug! Es liegt relativ abgelegen, aber man konnte ja schlecht das Bergwerk verlegen! 😌 Trotzdessen bietet es alles rund ums Thema Erde, Bergwerk und erneuerbare Energien. Dort erfährt man beispielsweise, wie die Bergleute früher in den Schächten gearbeitet haben, welche Mittel und Werkzeuge sie hatten und das alles natürlich mit passender Umgebung und Geräuschkulisse. 😯😯 Wirklich faszinierend. Aufgrund der aktuellen Lage, kann man das ENERGETICON nicht normal besuchen. In den einzelnen Räumen herrscht die CoSchVo (Corona-Schutz-Verordnung), sobald man aber im freien ist, ist diese im Punkt MNB aufgehoben. Dies sollte aber niemanden aufhalten diesen schönen Ort zu besuchen. Trotzdem ein sehr empfehlenswerter Ort für einen Tagesausflug!! 😊

Very informative and lots to explore

Super tasty food, very friendly staff

A very well done exhibition of hard coal mining up to 1992. Beautiful exhibits. With QR code you can hear the texts. German and in Dutch. Many exhibits. Sometimes you can get tickets cheaper with discounted deals online.

(Translated by Google) Super nice and very interesting for young and old. Totally recommended (Original) Super schön und sehr interessant für Jung und Alt. Vollkommen zu empfehlen

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended (Original) Sehr empfehlenswert

If you want to get real insights into stone coal mining (untertage Steinkohleabbau) and the working conditions of miners, this is the museum to go to. Also, if you want to get an insight into regenerative energy transformation and climate change, this museum and its interactive exhibits have a lot to offer. My children 8, 11, and 13, my sister (52) and I (48) really loved this place. Last, but not least it represents a huge part of Germany's post-war history and the Wiederaufbau - reconstruction. The human suffering of the coal miners, their working and living conditions, and the multitude of health risks are also empathetically addressed.

Really loved the tour around the whole museum and mine under it.

Educational inside of a once great industrial time of the region and of energy in general. Hat's off to all these past miners. Enjoyable experience.

A really interesting museum,covering the mining era,and examples of modern technology.the outside part of the park ,had old machine parts drills ect,with explanations of their purpose.we then entered the inside part of the museum.that was a rebuild of a mine shaft,how an original would of looked like.illustrating,the conditions and equipment,miners would of used.gave you a sense how difficult and hard the work they endured.really worth a visit.

I was positively surprised by this museum. You will learn about the history and future of energy resources, such as mining and solarpower. Fun experiments and experiences for young and old! I recommend 👌

Very cool museum giving a good impression on how mining was in the early days and how it evolved trough the year. Interesting and interactive, for young and old. Took us about 2 hours to go round. There is one additional building that is only open every 2nd saturday at 2 PM for a tour. We were there at a little before 2PM on a 2nd saturday of the month and nobody told us this was even possible. We found out at the end of the parcours when we wanted to enter the building and saw the sign on the door.

Very interesting exhibit and a fun experience of history and energy.

Well worth the visit. I very much enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.

Interesting look at the coal industry in Germany. However, the exhibit is no where near balanced, as there is literally no mention of nuclear power any where. Note the exhibits are described in German and Dutch only, although much of the museum did not require explanation.

A very interesting museum where both adults and children learn much about energy consumption and production. Additionally you get to see mining equipment which was usee at this place not too long ago. I think one can spend about two hours there. Easily.

Very nice excertion.The people who gave this tour are very experienced and enthusastic person and a lot of passion for it. The restaurant and the food there as well is excellent. Highly recommended..

(Translated by Google) Very interesting and educational (Original) Sehr interessant und lehrreich

Cool

(Translated by Google) A very exciting and well-made exhibition. The bridge from coal production as an energy source of the past to the energy supply of the future is very tangible here. The whole is represented by acoustic, visual and haptic experiences, that one always makes small time trips into the past and the future. Also, or even an exciting journey through time with children. It is probably the case that everyone does not notice how long you have been in the Energeticon, because even after almost 2 hours you could still experience a lot. Definitely worth a visit. (Original) Eine sehr spannende und gut gemachte Ausstellung. Die Brücke von der Kohleerzeugung als Energieträger der Vergangenheit hin zur Energieversorgung der Zukunft wird hier sehr erlebbar. Das Ganze wird durch akutische, optische und haptische Erlebnisse dargestellt, dass man immer wieder kleine Zeitreisen in die Vergangenheit und die Zukunft macht. Auch, oder sogar gerade mit Kindern eine spannende Zeitreise. Wahrscheinlich geht es allen so, dass man nicht merkt wie lange man schon im Energeticon war, denn selbst nach fast 2 Stunden könnte man noch ganz vieles erfahren und erleben. Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

(Translated by Google) Bad (Original) Ganz übel

(Translated by Google) Very informative (Original) Heel informatief

Nice concept and interesting flow to simulate entering a mine. Goid history lessons presented. Interactive exibits for alternative energy sources.

Food was excellent, staff too.

(Translated by Google) We were here for a school project and I have to say the Energeticon met all the requirements to fill the project with life, suggestions and images. Of course not to forget that you can learn a lot when you make your way through the halls and the open-air facility. (Original) Wir waren für ein Schulprojekt hier und ich muss sagen das Energeticon hat alle Voraussetzungen erfüllt um das Projekt mit Leben, Anregungen und Bildern zu füllen. Natürlich nicht zu vergessen, dass man auch sehr viel lernen kann wenn man sich auf den Weg durch die Hallen und die Freiluftanlage macht.

Ein tolles Erlebnis. Für jedes Alter sehr zu empfehlen.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting, however, with some exhibitions, such as the Parcour exhibition, somewhat confusing (Original) Sehr interessant allerdings bei manchen Ausstellungen,wie der Parcour Ausstellung etwas unübersichtlich

(Translated by Google) Cool old industrial location (Original) Coole alte Industrielocation

(Translated by Google) Everything went wrong! I had booked 5 tickets for a Sunday tour by phone and answering machine and when we got there a cheeky young guy told us that we weren't there. No one had listened to the answering machine and there were no spaces available. I would have liked more willingness to compromise or an individual solution. But the guy was so self-confident, then we went again and forever. (Original) Es ist alles schief gelaufen! Ich hatte per Telefon und Anrufbeantworter 5 Ticket für eine Sonntagsführung gebucht und als wir dort ankamen sagte uns ein frecher junger Bursche dass wir nicht dabei sind. Keiner habe den Anrufbeantworter abgehört und es wären keine Plätze frei. Ich hätte mir mehr Kompromissbereitschaft oder eine individuelle Lösung gewünscht. Aber der Typ war so selbstherrlich, dann sind wir wieder und für immer gegangen.

(Translated by Google) Very nice can only be recommended and the distance is very well regulated (Original) Sehr schön nur zuempfehlen und abstand ist sehr gut geregelt

(Translated by Google) It was very beautiful. A very informative experience, also for our 6 year old grandson. The visit was worth it. (Original) Es war sehr schön. Ein sehr informatives Erlebnis, auch für unseren 6jährigen Enkel. Der Besuch hat sich gelohnt.

(Translated by Google) Interesting adventure museum for interested youngsters, but also recommended for adults who want to learn something about energy and how it can be obtained. (Original) Interessantes Erlebnismuseum für den interessierten Nachwuchs, aber ebenso empfehlenswert für Erwachsene, die etwas über Energie und seine Gewinnung erfahren möchten.

Schönes Museum aber leider sehr Bergwerkslastig. Wir hatten gehofft auch mehr zu anderer Energiegewinnung erfahren zu können.

tolle party location ???

Extensive museum built on the site of the old coal mine Anna. Informative. Most of the collection is on coal mining, giving a good impression of this now obsolete activity. But other energy forms are also covered, in particular sustainable energy. Many interactive displays that are fun for children. Spacious grounds. During fair weather you can go up one of the tailing hills (Halde); we did not. Good restaurant.

(Translated by Google) If you are interested in energy and the history of Alsdorf mining, there is nothing better in the area. An interesting experience for little money for young and old. Just say 👍 keep it up. (Original) Wer sich für Energie und der Geschichte des Alsdorfer Bergbau interessiert, gibt es nicht besseres im Umkreis.

We took our child on the Young Energy tour last month. The tour is given by a young person. My respect for this. I couldn't speak in front of so many people. The child really liked it. We also learned interesting things. After the 1.5 hour tour you can watch everything again in peace and indefinitely. The entrance fee is definitely reasonable. Definitely a recommendation!

The Halloween Horror House isn't your event, is it? I don't think it's cool that you decorate yourself with other people's feathers
