Saturday is free day at the Museum Wiesbaden
(Almost) every first Saturday of the month is Free Admission Day (opens in a new tab) at the Museum Wiesbaden. With free admission, you can visit all the exhibitions at no cost—and it’s well worth it! A special highlight is the extensive collection of modern and contemporary art, including works by artists such as Alexej von Jawlensky, whose expressive portraits form a distinct focus within the museum. The Art Nouveau exhibition is also a real highlight.
The exhibition “Aesthetics of Nature” showcases the diversity and beauty of the animal and plant world in artfully staged rooms—from luminous minerals and rare butterflies to specimens from the region.
Susanne Hirschmann (opens in a new tab) from the Museum Wiesbaden will tell you what you definitely shouldn’t miss!
Tip: On "Long Thursdays, (opens in a new tab)" there are discounted admission prices starting at 6 p.m., as well as special events such as guided tours and "wine tastings."

sam - City museum on the market
Located right in the heart of downtown, directly beneath the historic market colonnades, the sam – Stadtmuseum am Markt (opens in a new tab) invites visitors to discover the city’s fascinating history in a lively way. The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into Wiesbaden’s development—from its Roman origins to the elegant spa town of the 19th century.
A nice touch: Every month, visitors to the sam vote for a favorite item (opens in a new tab), which can be selected via a database and is then incorporated into the exhibition for a specific period—ranging from a milk jug to opera glasses to a game of blind man’s bluff.
The permanent exhibition is free to visit.
Animal & Plant Park Fasanerie
Located on the edge of Wiesbaden’s city forest—and easily accessible by public transportation—the Fasanerie (opens in a new tab) is a wonderful destination for the whole family. The expansive natural grounds are home to around 40 native animal species—from wild boars and lynx to wolves and birds of prey—which can be observed in enclosures designed to mimic their natural habitats.
Particularly popular with children are the petting zoo and, of course, the animal feedings led by the zookeepers. Other highlights include the forest trails and the large playground.
The Environmental Education Center offers exciting programs, guided tours, and hands-on activities focused on nature conservation and species protection.
Always worth a visit!
