This is a one-of-a-kind experience especially if you’re from this heritage. It was like reliving some of the great moments that I’ve heard my great grandparents talk about. They also have an awesome gift shop and the whole experience is totally worth it we loved every minute of it and highly recommend especially if you’re from Czechoslovakia heritage
