Great place! Interesting and very friendly!! Our kids enjoyed every minute of the tour!! Also when told we couldn't take a back pack on the tour, we explained our son had a medical condition that required certain supplies to be carried at all times, without a second thought the staff was very understanding and said absolutely no problem!! :)
