The Freilichtmuseum Klockenhagen is open to visitors from April 1 to October 31. During this period, the museum hosts a variety of events including plant tours, sheep shearing, book readings, and craftsman days. Additionally, a special exhibition is regularly displayed during the summer season, providing a unique experience for visitors.
The museum also features a half-timbered church from Dargelütz near Parchim.

Additionally, it serves as a venue for readings, lectures, and concerts, offering a unique cultural experience for visitors.
The museum also features a healing and spice herb garden, modeled after the garden of the abbess Hildegard of Bingen, where about 300 herbs are grown, primarily from the North German region. Visitors have the opportunity to learn about historical village life through interactive experiences. For instance, in a replica of a 1910 oven, which used to stand in Laupin, visitors can bake their own sourdough breads, with the preparation of the dough and the functioning of the oven explained.

The Freilichtmuseum Klockenhagen, located in Ribnitz-Damgarten, Germany, offers visitors an authentic glimpse into rural life in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania from the 18th to early 20th centuries. This open-air museum features a collection of historic buildings, including farmhouses, workshops, and other structures, which have been carefully relocated and reconstructed on site.

The expansive grounds offer pleasant walks through beautiful countryside, with gardens and farm animals adding to the rural atmosphere. The staff, often dressed in period costumes, are generally praised for their knowledge and enthusiasm in bringing history to life.
However, some visitors note that the signage and information provided could be more comprehensive, particularly for non-German speakers. A few reviewers mention that the site can be quite large to explore thoroughly in one visit, which might be challenging for those with mobility issues.
The on-site café receives mixed reviews, with some enjoying the traditional foods offered, while others find the options limited or the prices a bit high.
Overall, the Freilichtmuseum Klockenhagen is well-regarded for its educational value and immersive historical experience, making it a worthwhile destination for those interested in regional history and traditional rural life.
