Hard to orientate

2.00While it was interesting to see some of the species, Nausicaa was too crowded, warm and mostly really hard to orientate in. We could not find the most interesting expo easily, all the people waited in line for one restroom while there were more and it was not easily accessible with strollers or wheelchairs.
