This was very disappointing for me. As a UFO enthusiast, I was looking forward to this since its only been open a month, my expectations were high. Possible spoiler Alerts First of all, the opening video was... ok but the audio was atrocious. There seemed to be 1 speaker overhead and it was very hard to hear. After that , there were some information plaques on the wall and a bunch of lights and gadgets that I thought would possibly light up and pinpoint a spot on the map where a sighting or abduction was reported but they did absolutely nothing, just turned on and off. Then getting to the bank of headphones that had 911 calls that you could "listen" to. I went through every headset, all had the same looped call but barely audible. I had to press the headset into my ears to barely hear so I gave up after about 30 seconds. The moon bounce was decent, some of the displays were intriguing. The "Feel the Alien Guts" part was really lame as well. All it was was green goo that stains your hands and clothes sitting on top of an alien. You couldn't open a rib cage or anything else and feel around for "organs" or nothing. It just sat on top of an open chest cavity. The... then "abduction" area. As you walk through floor to ceiling clear plastics hang downs, then there is an area about 10 feet across where you walk through them again. Nothing happens. I was expecting maybe a spotlight from above or an alien ship or something but no... nothing. I did enjoy the Ancient Alien section talking about the vimanas and those things. Then the "Shoot the Aliens" section... omg, your 3 year old will be bored with this after 3 shots. The guns are very high tech looking but the simulator is not. When you pull the trigger it gives you a 3 pattern light "blast" on the screen but nothing other than that happens. Just the lights and its the same pattern all the way across. The top half of the screen didn't even work. With todays technology, it seems like this could have been way better as well. Keep score, see how you did against other alien hunters for the day or whatever. Come on , this is a brand new facility did you consult with anyone or have a trial run on this before opening. All in all I was very disappointed with most of the exhibit and would not recommend this to anyone else. It seems like a lot of opportunities for even being mediocre were lost throughout the entire exhibit. Go see the...
Read moreCouldn't give it negative 5 stars so it gets 1 star. This almost seems intentionally bad like the owner didn't really care about the experience of the guests but rather figured they knew people would be intrigued by the concept and shell out the money. An average high schooler could put out a better product than this place. It seems like it really didn't matter to them if people hated it or not. Most of it is reading things on the wall, which by the way has countless spelling errors (seriously you couldn't spend the money to fix the errors? Other guests have even written in the correct spelling with pencils). How embarrassing. But like I said. I am sure even the owner knows this place is a joke but really doesn't care because it's an intriguing idea to people and they knew they could sucker people into paying for it. There is probably a reason everything is hidden from the public until you pay for your entry. Even the staff seemed to be bored and annoyed that they had to work in such a boring place. Almost nothing is hands on, and the stuff that is is just switches and nobs that do absolutely nothing besides flip and turn lol. Save yourself the frustration and money. Go to the Aquarium or Butterfly Wonderland instead. Heck you'd be better off just putting your money in the...
Read moreComplete waste of money. Horrible customer service. When my family and I arrived at the exhibit, there were two attendants standing behind the check-in counter, the customer who was ahead of us was trying to use a credit card that kept declining, after standing there for over 15 minutes waiting while this customer tried different cards, I asked one of the two attendants if my family and I could go ahead and go in, I informed the attendant that we had pre-paid for our tickets and had our tickets in our hand, she rudely replied that I needed to wait my turn. I didn't see the point of having my entire family stand there waiting while this customer tried to pay with yet another declining credit card, especially given the fact that there were two attendants behind the front desk counter. One attendant could have scanned our tickets while the other attendant could have continued to assist the woman with the declining credit card. Needless to say, I won't be wasting my money going back to this exhibit, after...
