Just amazing! You can easily spend the whole day here. We bought our tickets online, and found the people with the blue umbrellas for our tickets, and then went on our way. Plan on at least half a day to see everything. There are several places for snacks and meals. It's crowded, which probably can't be avoided, but no matter. It's definitely a 'must do' experience.
