| - This exhibit is especially for Marvel fans. If you're not a Marvel fan and haven't watched the movies or read the comics, then I say don't waste your time and money. The exhibit costs $34 for adults, and $25 for children. As someone, who's seen all of the Marvel movies, I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibit.
Tip: Don't buy the headphones and device for an extra $5. You can easily perform the same functions through the Marvel S.T.A.T.I.O.N app on any smartphone.
The exhibit relies primarily on the smartphone app. The smartphone app plays the audio recordings for every different area throughout the exhibit. The app also asks you questions about each section of the exhibit, so then you can earn an honorary Marvel Agent badge at the end of the exhibit. However, this exhibit causes you to read ALL of the information on the walls, which is a bit tedious. On the positive, they try to educate you with really complex science like Einstein-Rosen Bridges A.K.A. Wormholes.
The exhibit starts off with an orientation by Agent Hill, A.K.A. Robin Sherbatsky of How I Met Your Mother, A.K.A. Cobie Smulders. Then the walls open up to the Captain America exhibit where one can see Cap's suit and other props from the movies. You can also take pictures with Cap's shield. You get to read the entire history of Captain America (even though he's supposedly a Nazi and a villain now lol).
The exhibit is very interactive with fingerprint reading and different touch screens located throughout the exhibit. The effects of all the interactive objects create a more realistic experience. They did an amazing job with making everything look realistic. There are also two games at the end of the exhibit. One of the games allows the player to simulate a flight in an Iron Man suit, and it is controlled with your retina, which is pretty neat. The second game is a 6-player interactive game through your smartphone app that allows you to team up with other people to defeat Ultron. However, my favorite part of the exhibit is the hall of all of the Iron Man suits.
At the end of the exhibit, one can take pictures with the Avengers, and then buy your pictures and badge (badge is only available if you answer the questions throughout the exhibit). I'm glad Las Vegas has a new family-friendly (not friendly for the price however) activity!
