Reviews
Very interesting museum of a former fort, directly opposite the Chateau Chillon. The tour through the exhibition using a map is well designed and supported by multimedia (including funny and interesting videos). It gives a good feeling of purpose of the fort and how living was like trough the decades of use.
This a truly wonderful experience if you are interested in historical sites, especially pertaining to WWII. Not only is the site fascinating by itself but the first lady we met enthusiastically explained the historical relevance to Switzerland and guided us the best way to walk through the forte. It is also very interactive which makes it much more interesting. I could have stayed at the VR interactive game all day to the dismay of my wife. If I did it again, I would have visited the castle and the Forte of Chillon in the same day.
Highly recommended. Very interactive, fun for both adults and children (got to aim a real cannon and heavy machine gun). Information available in all popular languages. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Very informative, very interactive, very well made museum, quite new, a small cafe and gift shop are inside too. A lot of info about Swiss Army history. Well worth the visit.
