Everything you need to know for your visit to the PS.SPEICHER
A unique experience for families: Our main and special exhibitions are an experience to remember for families and children too. For example, little explorers can go on a fun treasure hunt, test their memory in an interactive memory game and encounter our two, three and four-wheeled vehicles at eye level. At the PS.SPEICHER, automotive history comes to life and is attractively presented through modern media for young and old alike.
The PS.SPEICHER has disabled access, so that disabled people (especially wheelchair-users) can enjoy the majority of our services. All floors of the main exhibition can be accessed via elevator.
Access to the restaurant, cloakrooms and lockers is ensured by a special lift.
The car park of the PS.SPEICHER has four disabled spaces. Disabled toilets are available in the foyer, and in the entrance area of the restaurant. The information desk and shop counters also have different heights in order to optimally serve all visitors. In addition, two modern wheelchairs are available in the entrance area for visitor use free of charge. We kindly ask for advance notice.
Our guided tours of the main exhibition are also designed for people with disabilities. An overview of our adapted guided tour programme for disabled people is available here.
We apologise that certain facilities, such as our Porsche 911 driving simulator and the second floor of our KLEIN ABER MEIN exhibition, do not offer disabled access.
