This museum is very big and attractive specially for me that most of the time track the space station and astronomical events, beside that, this museum is not ancient and historical, it's high tech and modern comparing to other museum in the city. I watched very interesting objects, vehicles and instruments that before that I watched them in just photos and videos, some places in the museum takes human to the space and you think about living there as a scientist.

Read some reviews that said it's OK, but just OK. The experience was very different. Firstly, it's super easy to get to, right by VDNKh station.  Secondly, there are a number of original pieces that are amazing to see in person, from sputnik-1 to the Soyuz descent module and everything in between. This really is a must see if you're in Moscow - I would recommend the audio guide to get a full picture of what you're seeing (very cheap and very informative).

Definitely worth a trip. Admission is very reasonable (250 rubles). Beautiful from the outside and a good number of displays inside. I would have loved to have spent more time there. Would definitely visit again. Many of the signs had English translation, which was very helpful!

It's smaller than expected and suffering from the lack of entertainment. It has the greatest potential to make the completely interactive exposition, but unfortunately only some audio guidance is available for now.
Anyway it's still the very attractive place to see the wonderful Soviet science and technology.

An amazing experience to see Russian history of space journey and space exploration. Space suits, space shuttles, space technology, astronauts their literature and achievements. I was just mesmerized on witness such huge history which was never told by media. You must explore this museum and witness all that amazing science and technology space journey.
