| - Kitschy and a little silly, but not a bad "tourist trap" for $5 per person on groupon. I found it odd that there are three different locations: the house, the museum, and the gift shop. All located on the same street, within walking distance. It was cold the day we went and it was very crowded, even though Christmas was weeks ago. We all huddled on the front porch, waiting for the first tour of the day. The staff was very friendly and very passionate about the movie, so thumbs up to them! I enjoyed hearing our tour guide- she was delightful. Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Everything in the house is "interactive". You can pick things up, take photos, look into rooms at your leisure, etc. The museum across the street was a little lack-luster. I would recommend they consolidate and move that over to the basement of the house or something. The actor who delivered the fragile package was there that day, signing copies of a "behind-the-scenes" DVD they were selling. Although he had a small role, he was very passionate about the iconic movie and fragilee' package. The gift shop was a bit over-priced, but I found myself buying a "leg lamp" magnet and a couple over-priced post cards. Although I'm glad I went, I doubt I'd go again. Been there, done that.
