Rated out of 5
Cool place but show was too short. We spent way more staying in a line than enjoying the video. However, I would still recommend to go and check it out.

Expensive but really cool. We did Hawaii this time and it was beautiful! Not long enough but ah well. Gift shop was actually pretty nice and has decent pricing. Cafe is a great value as well! Staff was nice. 😊

My son said it was the best day of his life and he was making forever memories. I really enjoyed this experience, And so did my oldest child and my ex. It was a really great time. The only thing is we would wish it would be a bit longer.

While the experience was better than I thought and I was really happy to have done it - still it's not a cheap experience - I rather feel their communication is somehow deceptive when they are talking about a 25min experience. It's clearly stated you have different phases etc but the real experience when you are seated and enjoy the incredible landscapes displayed in front of you doesn't last more than 10min. The 15min remaining minutes are spent waiting in the previous room standing with some imagery on the walls for about 10min (nice but nothing extraordinary) and waiting in queue while watching security measures and placed in your seats (5min). That's the reason for the 3* as it makes for a rather pricey session given what you get out of it - and it's not clearly communicated that way (I checked the website before/after the experience and it's vague, probably for the reason explained). I would still encourage you to do it once, and make sure to book in advance and online so you can save about 10$ on the whole thing.
