It was very interesting. It would have been good to have some verbal accompaniment during the projection. Unfortunately, despite warnings about the outside temperature and wearing thick clothing, it was too cold to spend a long time in the exhibition or to watch the film a second time.

The exhibition was great. We thought it was great that you could operate the machines yourself and the show on the screen was something we had never seen before. We loved it. The 5,000,000 steps (of course that number is a huge exaggeration) to the Skywalk were worth it.

Very interesting exhibition. Also designed to be child-friendly (optimally from around 7 years old).

Everything worked out great. It was a gift and we were all thrilled.

Amazing. Worth every cent. So informative and amusing.
