4.00I would have given it a 5 star except for one experience. My family and I arrived fifteen minutes early.We were in the parking lot.I called to see where to park. The lady immediately told me that we were late and we couldn't make it. She said it would take her ten minutes to check us in and they already left with the other guests. It's a good thing we didn't listen to her.And proceeded to move forward.My wife went inside while I parked the car.She didn't have to wait ten minutes.We ran to the submarine.The staff at the submarine said, don't run.We still have eight minutes. The experience was amazing. I would just like to let that staff member to know, please give the customers a chance and don't have them miss out on an experience like that.
