Orava Village Museum

This picturesque outdoor museum is set on a river within a forest and contains a fantastic snapshot of a historic village. It includes everyday tools, toys, and beautifully preserved dwellings. Descriptions are provided in several languages. It was very easy to imagine yourself living in this village from all of the details provided. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, and so did my 3 year old. I would definitely recommend visiting this little gem.

Fantastic place to take in some of the cultural background of the area. Don't miss the excellent music and storytelling show every Wednsday.

It's heaven. Firstly because of location which is next to the mountains and then the traditional Slovak homes. It takes you to the old times of Slovakia. It's very well maintained and price of the ticket is very cheap to see the whole museum area. Best thing is it's not flooded with tourists, very few people were there. A must place to visit in Slovakia.

Had a great time with kids at this place. Really cool items to see inside the homes. Well kept and clean. They even have local craftsmen selling their items. We bought few items and they all made it all the way to California without breaking, yay!

This place is amazing. We spent 2 hours there, read all information while walking around. Adult entrance is 4€, kids below 6y are for free. There was beautiful music in church. The river there is the cleanest I’ve seen in my entire life. This place has beautiful spirit. The time spent here was so worth it.

Wonderful place to be! You should take up to 4-5 hours to enjoy it all. There are many things to do, and see. You can also buy very nice hand made products and after eat the traditional slovak food in restaurant. There is also possibility to make own pottery and attend the concert in traditional wooden church. You can also see some animals there, and enjoy your time with family, friends or partner. Nearby is also cave, but you need to book the spot 1 day before arrival.

In the winter you have to visit their evening guided tour, kids can carry old petroleum lamps and there is also a performance of folk traditions

Fantástic place to go with Children. You Will ser entre Slovakia architecture in One place . Is possíble to pass there a great day. Nice restaurants in the área as well

The best ope air museum in Central Europe. You need 3 hours approx to see everything. There is also a written museum guide in Hungarian language

Very nice preserved traditional slovak village. Great for adults and kids. Some farm animals can be found there, which are the best amusement for the smallest kids. Worth of visit.

great to see traditonal slovak buildings from orava region.

A wonderful place full of Slovak history. The location is just amazing, high up in the mountains, with clean air and crystal clear water. There are also live animals such as ducks, goose, sheep and donkeys, some of which you can feed and pet.

Very nice place to discover a history how people lived times ago. In main season there were several options to eat.

Can only recommend.

It's a beautiful village with traditional houses and it's situated on a stream in a forest - recommend visiting when in the Orava region.

One of the best places to visit with children in the northern Slovakia. Beautiful and quite interactive 😉

Beautiful open air museum of the Orava Village 🏘🏡🏠🗻🏔🇸🇰

Excellent trip with family. Travel during winter when it wasn't very crowded.

The place gives a good overview of the life 100-150 years ago in Slovakia. It is a time travel, really.

Probably the best open air museum. Great exhibition of history of housing in Orava region. Placed in wonderful nature. Opportunity to buy some handmade souvenirs in few shops inside houses or small 'market'. Recommendation: download the app (and data) in advance.

Great example of traditional slovakian living. Audio guide app is available and offers interesting fun facts and details of the buildings.
