It was such a great place, and I’ve never learnt so much about fries before. Definitely a good family outing, but I went by myself and couldn’t recommend it enough. Definitely a must do activity

Hayley – United Kingdom

We took our 8 year old daughter during our stop with the Disney Dream. We read the reviews and figured we would take the chance for the price. It was fantastic, we loved the listening devices and how easy it was to use them. We loved the interactive games to play. Also loved the singing song the fries sung. We had fries at the end of the museum which I liked but my hubby and daughter weren’t keen on. (Personal choice) would definitely visit if we ever come back.
