Worth the money

Ella was WONDERFUL Her personality was lovely and she was so fun to tour the museum with I have been on guided tours there before and she was the best one yet The expedited entry is a must money well spent The line to access the museum without fast entry was hours long which in the heat of July would have been miserable
