    Definitely take advantage of the free evening on Thursday. However the Vitale Family Room (for little ones to play) does NOT stay open during this time. There really isn't much for young kids to do

    Not really worth the admission charge (and they charge for coat check on top of that). They don't seem to get that their competition is global and a lot of their visitors are too.
