Interesting, eclectic, weird. Interesting for both kids and adults and a photographer's dreamland. One thing to note: the $10 fee that people have mentioned about taking pictures only applies to people with cellphones. If you're using a "real" camera you will be asked to pay $25. That was a surprise I wasn't ready for.
