I did the same thing, I took a chick there and it was a blast, give your self more time then you'll think you will need. There a lot of neat stuff to see there.

I was there about a month ago and there were long lines everywhere. It discouraged us from going into some of the main attractions. =(

Hopefully it's not as crowded now.

actually closer to 10 years and $500million dollars for the new location. with that type of bankroll behind this place, you just have to check it out right?

I was there the second week they reopened it. It was indeed packed when I went, but it was definitely worth going to.

be careful when you go on a 2nd or 3rd wednesday.

it's free admission so it might be even more packed...

call them to confirm which is the free day.

It's pretty damn sick. Took the wifey in October. Busy as hell, which was kind of a bummer, but still amazing.
