Went there this 4th of July weekend ( 07/03/05), I guess I have been pampered by the Field Museum and the Science & Industry Museums, but i do not think this was worth the $22! Upstairs was basically BORING! Spent 30 minutes there and almost fell asleep. Thank God that was all we had to wait for the movie, the OmniMax movie was awesome but still $22 is too much to pay for just a movie and a small museum, if you have time go to any of the other 3! Specially Bodyworlds @ The Science Museum, spent 2 hours just on that exhibit!
