We visited Erebuni with our family, unfortunately a part of the museum was closed due to revenovation. The museum is overall a lovely place with lots of interesting artifacts and it was very interesting to be able to visit the remnants of the ancient Erebuni "castle". The staff were helpsome although it was very disappointing that the museum did not invest more into the signs standing outside since they got miscolored. Oh and they do have a sign in front of the castle for blind people.
To sum it up, I definitely recommend this place, very interesting and great history.

The museum itself is wonderful and has a very interesting exposition. We always go with guests when they come to this museum. We called and ordered an individual tour for two people. Price: 1,500 for admission, 4,500 guided tour in Russian per person.
Bottom line: The main hall is closed, only two small ones are open. There is practically nothing to see. We went up to see the fortress on our own, it's open for entry, I highly recommend it, but still, it's great to do it after viewing the main exhibition.
It's unpleasant and incomprehensible why they didn't say on the phone that the main hall was closed! And the tour will last only 15 minutes!!!

A pleasant place to walk. There is a wonderful view of the city. The walls of the old fortress, along which you can walk, admiring Yerevan and the surrounding area. A small museum, just the kind to not get too tired. But informative enough! I learned for myself about the system of an ancient water pipeline 80 km long, which in very old centuries stretched up this mountain, into the fortress. And there are many other interesting things about winemaking, for example, that some ancient grape varieties are still used. Be sure to climb this fortress if you are a romantic!

A very interesting historical place, the impressions are the best. The staff is very polite and attentive. A beautiful view of the city opens when you climb to the fortress. The low price for admission and the accessibility of the description of the story were very pleasing. Minus: garbage at the excavation sites.

A disgusting guide in Russian. It's better not to take it. We paid 7500 AMD for 2 of them to get an individual tour. We were shown 1 room in the museum itself, the rest were closed for restoration. They said go upstairs yourself, the tour is over. As a result, the whole tour takes 15 minutes. We decided that with such a service it is better to read about the Fortress in advance and go up to it. The passage to the fortress is open for free.

A wonderful museum. Excellent exposure. Exhibits from the 5th grade history textbook: the oldest state in our country, Urartu. It's about the helmet and the ritons. Cuneiform stones are awe-inspiring. This place should be visited.

A museum with a poor collection of artifacts, the entrance fee is 1,500 AMD (to the museum and the fortress). Erebuni is worth a visit, because it is the cradle of Armenia, the fortress of the ancient state of Urartu. There are few frescoes and cuneiform inscriptions on the stones in the fortress. It is pleasant to walk along it and walk around - there is an impressive view of Yerevan from there. There is a parking lot at the entrance to the museum, and there is a toilet in the museum.

I hope that everything will change soon.
It cannot be that such an intelligent and great nation with such a history cannot be next to the Great Ones....
Armenia has always been, is and will always be.

A historical place that was once well-gentrified. Now there are some shortcomings - the paths have been destroyed, the grass has not been mowed down. More careful care of the historical monument is needed. However, I remember a time when it was in an even more deplorable state

If you go up the hill in summer, I strongly advise you to take some water with you, because it is very hot upstairs.

A wonderful museum and wonderful staff. I really liked the virtual reconstruction of the fortress. Unfortunately, the exposition is partially closed for reconstruction, I hope it will open soon.

It's a sooo interesting place, you walk between these walls of the fortress and draw interesting scenes and plots from the lives of people before our era. It is difficult to imagine that 2,800 years ago a water supply was brought to this fortress and the water rose to the top of the hill without any pumps and electrical equipment! And how did they build these walls out of huge blocks of stone, how did they lift these blocks the size of a car without the help of technology? Fantasy.

Everything is good, everything is interesting. The guide's story is very informative. But I really want to ask you to invest money in this historical object, which is very important for Armenians and for all mankind. The sight of desolation is depressing.

One of the most iconic places in Armenia. If, like me, you are actively interested in the culture and history of the Armenian people, be sure to visit Erebuni.

I recommend it to everyone who will be in Yerevan. When you walk among the foundations of this fortress, it takes your breath away to realize that they are more than 2000 years old. There is also a beautiful view of Yerevan and the surrounding area.

A wonderful open-air museum. It is a pity that most of the exhibits will not be able to be viewed on site, they are presented at the permanent exhibition at the National Museum of History of Armenia.

The World cards are not in use here, stock up on cash. A museum with a fortress of 1500dram. The museum is small, but everything is on point. It is interesting to visit such an ancient place. The views of the whole of Yerevan are amazing

The fortress is overgrown with grass heaps of stones and debris, there are no signs (only faded ones), no descriptions, dirty paths instead of paths, the museum is better, but only three halls. It is fashionable to get a sunstroke on the fortress. Take water with you!

It is interesting to walk around the fortress, the museum itself is under reconstruction and so far consists of 1 hall. The tour is only around the museum itself and it is definitely not worth taking it.

We visited the Erebuni History Museum. The oldest object, the cultural heritage of the history of the region, Armenia and, in general, the cultural heritage for the whole world. It is impossible to express the horror of the state in which this object is now. There won't be enough photos. The oldest paintings on the remains of the walls were all mutilated by tourists or locals (inscriptions like "Stepa and Vasya were here" were scratched out).Tourists and locals climb and run along the walls of the fortress, which are not even fenced and there is absolutely no supervision from museum staff.Nothing is fenced. The stands with information about the objects are completely erased, it is difficult to read. Where is the Ministry of Culture looking? Start small, change the stands so that tourists can read and understand what a unique place they are in.Install fences so that they do not climb the preserved walls of the fortress. It is a very strange attitude to such a historical value.

It would be much more interesting if the guide agreed to lead the tour. It's good that there are signs almost everywhere, but I would like more information. Also, the signs on the way to the fortress are unreadable, but I would like to know the information.

A small but pleasant museum with unique objects. From the tomb near Yerevan Mall, including.
Everything is decorated, the staff is friendly.
The ticket office is on the street at the entrance.
There are toilets and a souvenir shop. You can take books, mugs, T-shirts, bags, and jewelry for yourself and as a gift... At the checkout, you can pay for an additional fee.The fee is 6 min VR for the reconstruction of the fortress, but I preferred to buy a book.

The main disappointment. A stunning, unique architectural monument, the history of Armenia is in such terrible desolation. This is unacceptable. This is barbarism on the part of the state and the citizens of Armenia.

You can take a walk once if the weather is good. A museum and an outdoor area. We climbed everywhere, there are a lot of walls, turns, closed corners. You can play hide-and-seek

The museum is small but interesting, and I would advise you to go there with a guided tour. The guide here is wonderful, tells everything very interestingly, baits stories, willingly answers questions. True, because of the tales, big questions arise about the reliability of information, but if you treat it as entertainment, everything is OK.
There is also a VR exhibit in the museum, and it's just a shame. It is performed at the level of a three-year student, no higher. I would be ashamed to show this for free, but the museum asks for as much as 5,000 drams for 7 minutes of voiceover and all the models. If you are still curious to see, I would advise you to ask for a souvenir booklet, there are just printed frames from this exhibition, you will not lose anything if you limit yourself to them.

Entrance is paid!!! And not only to the museum itself. They charge 1500 drams for entering the ruins where there is no tourist information. The signs are faded. Garbage. Graffiti. The ruins themselves are normal) ancient. But if you make a paid entrance, then the content needs to be put in order and maintained!

A very small museum - 3 halls + temporary exhibitions, but we learned a lot of interesting things. There are almost no visitors, so the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Short working hours. There is an excellent view from the fortress. I would like to see separate signs placed in front of each room, and not on a general map, because it is difficult to understand the terrain

A walk through the fortress, which is the same age as Ancient Rome, is worth a lot. Of course, it's not as interesting as in Rome, but all the preserved buildings are much younger than Erebuni. And a great view of Yerevan and the surrounding area!!!

It's a great place. At first, they were skeptical - they read reviews about the fact that there is dirt there, no one is watching the fortress... But we decided to go anyway and did not regret it! Everything is very decent. The ruins are in the form, according to age, clean. View from the top of a million)) The scope, the wind, the stone walls that have been seen for hundreds and hundreds of years ...
the museum is small, but there is something to see. Very friendly staff. In general, considering the place itself - where ancient Armenia came from - it is worth visiting.

A small museum, it is interesting to learn about the ancient kingdom of Urartu, a contemporary of Assyria. But I do not recommend taking an excursion - the guide gets confused about the dates specifically so that the husband generally spits all over. And of course, Armenia is the birthplace of everything, Armenians invented all things.

For those who do not mind spending time, you can visit. 1,500 drams for a ticket to the museum and the fortress are not worth it. There are no exhibits in the museum. The fortress itself is not cared for in any way, the trees are scorched by the sun, there is no watering. The toilet, which is located on the territory of the fortress, is simply boarded up. Apparently they did everything beautifully for the anniversary of Yerevan, and then they abandoned it. People have painted everything on the walls of the fortress, and they don't keep track of this either. Although this is an inheritance, and you can at least somehow keep order.
