Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

 Pay money to enter, but there is a lot of fun and creativity inside.
 Immersive museum, with a nice layout, and period furniture, and art objects.
 There is a lot of entertainment and some games.
 A photographer’s delight.
 Centrally located, bustling at all times, with a nice hostess.
 Emblem of Bhutanese culture and history. Don’t leave Thimphu without stopping here !

Rip off for some cultural dance and a small cuppa tea
Sep. 2023 • Couples
Am rating this place 2* simply because of the rip off entrance fee. Its not worth the money

I would simply skip this place and is totally avoidable. You don't miss much by skipping this place. Exorbitantly priced at 1000 nu for just some cultural dance and a small cuppa tea. Maybe good for kids but not at this price.

Nice but could be better
Jan. 2020 • Family
If you want to get a quick understanding of the Bhutan culture, it's past lifestyle and arts then this is a good place to go to.

There is an entrance fee that one has to pay and you will be assigned a local guide.

The place has a few shops where artifacts and handicrafts can be purchased.
