Visitor Reviews

**★★★★★ Aidan Walker — 2 months ago

Beautiful place with a sad history. Good for a visit if you love history and its a nice walk. There is stuff in England for does who dont speak lithuanian. Staff a very friendly and helpful. Would visit again.

**★★★★★ Guy Chayet — 4 months ago

One of the most unique, special and educational experiences ever. Definitely consider visiting if you ever visit Lithuania, especially if you like history and new adventures!

**★★★★★ Beverley Bovett — 4 months ago

We took a bus from Kaunas Centre here it was €1 and took about 30 minutes. As you arive there is a coffee machine at the carpark (there is no cafe or shop to get food here) it is a short pavedcwalk up to the main museum €8 Euros to go in to the Museum was well work it. There is so much to see inside. Well thought out displays and installations. Was history and so.e very thought provoking displays. Everything is displayed in Lithuanian and English. You can walk around the outside area for free. 1

**★★★★★ Lorcan Smith — 8 months ago

Definitely worth a visit.

Monemument and information regarding mass killings is sobering but presented respectfully. Information inside the exhibit is thorough and well worth while spending the time to read. Available in both Lithuanian and English.

**★★★★☆ P B — 4 months ago

If you want to understand something of the history of the region in the 20th century, this fortress gives a good overview. I had no idea that the Lithuanians continued to resist the Soviet occupation well into the 1950s.

If you go by bus, remember to press the stop button before you reach the stop. I didn't and ended up a mile or two in the wrong direction.
