I am not sure what our experience would have been like if we had showed up later or on a different day but we went on a Sunday around 10:30 am (the last day that it would be open for awhile) and had a blast. I took me awhile to completely relax and the woman who I was directed to seemed to be hassled when I asked to have a tour before we began the water circuit. As we spent 3 hours there (it flew!), people began to pack in and pretty soon, there wasn't much room. Luckily, we were leaving. I will definitely return and think the concept and execution are stellar!
