A museum all to ourselves
This was a very unique experience. We were 2 of 3 people on the tour so it truly felt like we had the museum to ourselves. This museum is filled with interesting exhibits and covers history, science, different cultures, and many more fun topics. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. If you wanna avoid the crowds, i recommend this tour!

Worth it
All access pass was definitely worth it. There were 2 exhibits not included in the general admissions ticket. Those exhibits alone took up most of the day.
