Cool Souvenir

5.00Fun and cool experience. My daughters enjoyed it. My husband and I enjoyed the pub next door since if you wanted to stay you had to pay an observer fee since the studio is small. There are 2 locations and even if you go to where instructed you may have to go to the second location. Give yourself a few extra minutes arrival in case you need to go to the second location.
Unique memory and souvenir
