    My ticket was not recognized nor accepted at the museum. I believe this was a scam! I am very dissatisfied that I trusted this site. I thought TripAdvisor was replicable.

    It was a really hot day, so having a self guided tour that could gps locate us, which meant we didn’t have to figure out which track on a CD to play, and where we could decide when we wanted to get in and out and for how long, was really great.

    Overall a good experience with helpful information. The geolocation narration worked perfect. Wish the tour map started at the park service building since people need to get tickets anyways.
