I suggest arriving right when they open at 10 AM. It gets super busy, especially on weekends, and you can have the exhibits to yourself for a bit. Trust me, it makes a big difference.

My advice is to dive into the hands-on activities early. Some of them can get crowded, so hopping on them first helps you enjoy the experience without having to wait ages.

Check for any special exhibits or events happening during your visit. I stumbled upon a really cool talk not listed in the usual guides, and it totally enhanced my experience

I suggest checking out the weird wax figures; they’re super fun for selfies. Just remember to take a peek at the gift shop too – it has quirky souvenirs that are totally worth it.

My advice is to get there right when they open at 10 AM if you can. It gets crowded fast, and you’ll want to take your time browsing without the crush of people.
