    You should tell people it will take more than a day to go. Or give 1/2 off passes for going 2 days in a row.It is probably actually a 5 star experience done correctly.

    Excellent
    Difficulty access for the handicapped, difficulty navigating the space, difficulty finding elevator, labyrinthine disposition of small rooms giving a claustrophobic feeling. The map is useless. We were fortunate to encounter ms Arvail Hibbler, one of your too few docents. She came with us to our desired destination. Many thanks to her. We hope she will still be there next time
