Great experience, not so great queuing! Not very well organised, experience was over subscribed so massive queue. However, when we did get in it was great. We did it at 7pm in October so was dark. I would definitely recommend

Turned up at 7, our booking was at 7:30, shouted to leave and return at 7:30. We arrived back at 7:20 was allowed to join the very long queue that wasn’t even in the building. We queued for an hour, by the time we was up there we had to rush through due to other reservations. Very overbooked, every room really overcrowded.

The views are extraordinary and having other interactive media within the rooms just makes it better.
