I thought we were buying direct tickets and when we arrived we had vouchers that needed to be exchanged for tickets. We were with a large group so were separated as we had to go through a different line and wait. Versus had we just waited in line to buy tickets.

Everything was good.the only thing I didn't like it was that you actually don't buy a ticket you buy a "voucher " and you have to make a line to receive your tickets so, technically you waste time in that, you could make the same line to buy direct ticket too

We loved the exhibit. The tickets were an issue. The normal add ons were not available because we did not buy the tickets from the museum.
