“This was a fantastic experience! We came in on a Saturday for the morning session and had the room to ourselves. We were 3 adults (mom, dad, grandma) and 1 child (4 years old). Our son LOVED the experience. It was such a great thing to do to break up the regular sightseeing we had been doing. In addition, it was a fantastic souvenir to bring home. Loved it!”
