super busy.

3/5 - Okay

Prepare for a line and a wait to get in - we had to pass on going inside as there were 30+ people outside waiting already.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

too crowded and too expensive

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Tickets for entry are bought in an adjoining building. If there is a long wait, it may be possible to have someone stand in line to purchase tickets while someone else holds position in line.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Long lines always to get in and see a staircase. Not sure it is worth the time.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

One hour line plus a fee to get inside! I left... not worth it.
