The ticket selling when you arrive is unprofessional. But the worst of all was the discrimination we suffer for going with our son. We bought the tickets and we were ready to start the visit when a woman (who refused to provide her name or role) arrived. She told us that baby prams were prohibited. Our son had just fell asleep so we didn't want to wake him up. So, we decided to visit the house by turns. My husband was waiting in the hall, but this woman said that they had to wait out on the street where it was very cold, because the prams were prohibited in the whole building including the hall, where we already were.
