5.00Very, very interesting. I would not recommend for young children due to subject matter. The audio descriptions are interesting but graphic and they do elevate the experience. Unrelated to the torture experience, the bathrooms are super clean so thank you for that as well. Ambient music is perfectly suited for subject matter.
Unique and informative experience
