All the volunteer docents were knowledgeable and willing to answer any and all questions. There is a lot (!!!) of information to absorb, do allow ample time to see exhibits, talk to the docents and see as much as you want to see.

Tickets instantly on the app. Viewable once for selected date. Skip the line, scanned, and enter! The museum was incredible. It had lots of things to see, multiple cabins to tour, and additional simulated rides available. There are souvenir shop, cafe, and drink machines. Restrooms and facilities were very clean. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. I would highly recommend to friends and family to check this place out.
