    Loved the tunnel! How can a bridge that is totally stationary feel like it is moving about all over the place?!!

    There are a lot of static visual exhibits however the exhibition area is quite small and was very busy when we visited. Overall it is an interesting event but you would be hard pressed to spend more than an hour or so to see all exhibits. The vortex tube is the best exhibit but not for anyone with balance issues.
