💬 What Visitors Say
- Visit on weekdays to avoid crowds. Reviews consistently note the museum is designed to be busy, and one visitor specifically mentioned taking a day off during the week to avoid traffic and crowds for a better experience.
- Plan for 3+ hours but don't expect to see everything. Multiple reviews confirm it's practically impossible to experience all exhibits in one visit before kids tire out, so prioritize favorite areas in advance.
