National Geographic's Beyond King Tut San Diego — Local services in Del Mar

After reading all the bad reviews I was a bit sceptical but I still bought tickets because I have watched tons of documentaries about King Tut and wanted to see it for myself. First things first, there were a lot of people who were disappointed that there werenʻt any real artifacts. But I thought to myself, “of course not” they are the property of the egyptian people and if they did have real artifacts then they would have to hire major security just to protect those artifacts and the exhibit/experience would probably cost more. So, I bought tickets and went. To my amazement I fully enjoyed the experience. No need for any real artifacts. The walk thru was a well put together story line and not too overwhelming to read! My favorite part was the extra VR experience that takes you into King Tuts burial chamber. It was totally worth the extra $$$.

Overall a missed chance for a truly great...

We went to Del Mar Fairgrounds King Tut today. 2 adults + 2 seniors and 1 child (free of charge). I paid $178 for four of us (which included the $25 service fee online). The exhibit was good, but it did not represent the cost. It should have cost at the very most $20pp. I feel like I was robbed and it makes me sick. Also, on the website (Nat Geo King Tut) it says you can only buy tickets online and that was clearly not true when we showed up. I could have saved an additional $25 (online service fee). I am very disappointed. I do not recommend this experience unless the cost goes now and it...
