Value & Pricing

Pros:

  • "Well worth the admission fee."
  • "Initially it can feel a bit pricey, but, it's worth it for the memories created and the nostalgia."

  • "Official photos and merchandise are a bit pricey."
  • "For £69.99 per person we felt our experience was below par and very very rushed."
  • "It was a little pricey in my opinion, and to not even get a crystal at the end was a bit disheartening."
  • "The photos at the end cost £35 and are really poor quality."
