This place would be hard to find if it wasn't for the first Yelp review & even then a little confusing where to buy your tickets. The "box office" is in the little room housing the Da Vinci gift shop. Go to the counter & buy your ticket. I thought it was intrusive to be asking for I.D. & even then the guy still managed to spell my name wrong. At least if I get junk mail i'll know where it came from. So thanks, I guess.
Before you go in they make you take souvenir pictures behind a green screen. I wouldn't know how mines turned out because they never bothered to show me when I exited. JUST SAY NO if your not into that kind of thing. I was caught off guard so I didn't have a choice.
I used the coupon & paid $22. I don't think it was worth it & if they had headsets then I'll say maybe. I went late in the day as I was trying to cram as much as I could during my stay. So by then I was too tired to read all the stuff & my eyes just glazed over all the historical information.
If your interested in mechanical engineering or into the science of how things work then perhaps you'll appreciate it.
I did enjoy the Mona Lisa section, particularly the 25 things they uncovered from the super high resolution picture they took of the actual painting. And the projection of The Last Supper was not bad either.
Overall rating is two and a half stars.
