    Fun! 4 hours is barely enough to explore the whole exhibit. Will have to come back.

    Top night, a pleasant surprise as had no idea what to expect. We booked it as an idea of what to do for a night when we were in town. If you do something once, the evening flew by and was fun as well as interesting. So do this!
