💬 What Visitors Say
- Touch everything in the exhibits - walls, fixtures, and objects you wouldn't expect to react. Many interactive elements are hidden or camouflaged, so thorough exploration unlocks the full experience.
- Wear comfortable, crawl-friendly clothing (avoid tight pants or dresses) as some rooms feature crawl spaces, tunnels, and nooks requiring ducking and dipping. Mind your head and knees in these lower passages.
- Plan for 1-3 hours depending on your interactivity level, and arrive 5 minutes early for your timed slot. The interconnected rooms make it easy to lose track of time, so allow extra time if you want a thorough exploration without feeling rushed.
- Bring your own hand sanitizer - visitors report that the venue's dispensers sometimes run out, especially during busy periods.
- Purchase tickets online only before your visit, as they are not sold at the door. Use the online booking system to secure your preferred timed slot and access available discounts (military, seniors, children, or group rates of 15+).
