| - PRO TIP : IF YOU'RE GOING IN, BE SURE TO CHECK IN ON YELP TO GET 20% OFF YOUR TICKET. DO THIS BEFORE YOU BUY THE TICKET. I WAS A DUMBASS AND DISCOVERED THIS ONE IN THE ELEVATOR AFTER THE REGISTERS.
So. I honestly really debated this one with myself and my reason/reality meter (voiced and sourced by my older brother). So it's forty dollars ($34 + tax) to get beyond the gift shop. After I reluctantly decided to get in, and shelled out the forty dollars, you then have to put an app on your phone to experience it fully. You can skip the installation of the app and pay more money to get a thingy that has the app already.
The premise here is that you're a shield agent in training. I rode the elevator up with my training supervisor listening to videos of that brunette shield agent chick who was in the movies. Once you get to the top of the building, you're given a pre-recorded shpeil from shield lady. After that, you use the app to lead yourself through a series of rooms. Each with lots of albeit kinda neat displays on each of the avengers. There are some props from the movies, some digital displays and some hands on stuff.
After wandering through the rooms, you have to fight Ultron using the power of teamwork. My ap stopped working at this point and I was given a thingy with the app pre-loaded on it. It was fairly easy and just mildly entertaining. Another recorded speech from the shield lady and your back into the gift shop, where you can buy an official shield card, and the photos you took using the app. Or a set collage of the avengers if you didn't take any photos using the app.
Over-empowered kid behind the register tried to sell me all the pictures I hadn't taken in the ap, and my official shield agent card. I then I attempted to snap a picture of my official shield card on the screen, and over-empowered/enthusiastic/job loving kid behind the register yelled at me.
So. Personally, I'd say look at all the pictures here on yelp, download the app if you want and run through it yourself in the comfort of your own home/hotel. You don't really need to be beyond the gift shop to enjoy it. I say save yourself the forty dollars and buy your friends a nice postcard instead. Having gone through it, I kinda wish I did.
