This expereince was fantastic starting with the train ride from France which was a cool expereince iteself. The tour guide was waitibg for us when we arrived. We had a semi-private tour (one other family) and a very nice private vehichlr driving us. The tour guide was AMAZING! He was extremely knowledgable, providing visuals at each stop. There were multiple stops and each one was spectacular. The guide was also flexible, allowing us to have a say in our tour. This tour was well worth the money.

Wonderful event. The sound and light show under the dome was magical and a different way to experience space. Architecturally and historically beautiful. Very pleased I was able to experience it.

The requirement to present free tickets for minor children annoyed me and wasted my time. I didn't even have the option of ordering these free tickets online! What a shame! I can understand the desire to know more about the museum's attendance figures, but in this case it would be better to issue paying tickets at the same time.
