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.

The bethlehem is located in a small museum and it can get quite crowded. The bethlehem shows not only the nativity scene but also the history and mining tradition of the town. It also contains most of the famous town’s sights. It is really charming and it is in perfect working condition. Many parts are moving. It might be a bit difficult to take everything in.
The museum hosts a nice shop with wooden toys and other wooden souvenirs. The entry fee is 50 cents for an adult and it is 50 cents well spent.

Definitely will recommend. It is amazing place of wooden carvings and history of Banska Stiavnica. Exhibition is in small room but packed with miniatures and carving figures. Each has the story to tell. Small entry fees but absolutely worthy.

An amazing animated wooden sculpture, featuring elements of the town such as the Calvery, and numerous animated old mining scenes (like the old mining illustrations Walt Disney based his 7 dwarfs on). Very cheap entrance fee, while there were a lot of wooden figures and carvings to purchase, sadly there were no mining figures !

It's a small gem. If you love christmas (markets) this is definately good to see! It is all made of wood and the whole scene has turning puppets and trains and you see the whole town made in wood.
Also what is nice is that there are some stories why Banska Stiavnica is nice and some folk myths from the town.
So for just a small entrance fee I would say go here!

A fabulous work. The whole city made of wood, including the mines, and everything is in motion. Not only for children, but adults, too. You may keep watching it for long...

We dropped in to see the Bethlehem exhibit out of curiosity and thought it was ok. It's €1.50 per person and it's quite a big sculpture of Banska Stiavnica that is very detailed. I don't think you could really spend more than 15 minutes there though, unless you have kids that are really keen. Even some kids there weren't very interested.

Good place to learn something about Slovak traditions around Banska Stiavnica connected with wood carving. You can buy some wooden souvenirs there as well.

I would not go to Banska Stiavnica just to visit this Bethlehem but once you are there it would be shame not to pay €1.50 entrance fee and have a peek. Devil is in the detail and Bethlehem has thousands of them. You need maximum 15 minutes for the whole visit. If lady in the Information center did not mention it to me I would have never known it exists.
