Traveler reviews
Lesley
★★★★★3 months agoThe staff is so amazing and cheerful, they really love their job so it made us even more excited to go in. The displays are beautiful, with music playing to really add to the vibe of it all. There is also a fun hologram show every 30 minutes or so! There is an entire interactive area where you can dance, sing, and play instruments. I definitely recommend bringing your friends here! We stayed for about an hour anr a half and it was so worth it! Also the ticket lasts a year, so if you live around this area you can go multiple times!

★★★★★8 months agoWe really enjoyed this place. A fascinating walk through music history, the interactive stuff is great and there are real instruments and a vocal booth that are great fun. On a cold and wet December day, it was perfect. Highly recommend.
