Dont just skip the line skip the whole inside tour. They jam way to many people into a vanilla Mueseum. The exterior is impressive and the walk back enjoyable

Getting to skip the long line started the visit on a positive note. Without the tickets we would have been on the line for a very long time, in the heat and humidity. The site was simple and I had no problem getting my tickets once I purchased them. This is a site I will use again.
