We’ve been waiting to go on this tour for awhile. As soon as my daughter reached 102lbs we booked our tour and traveled 2hrs. Our tour guide Mike was great! He was informative, lively, fun, patient with the training and protective of the kids. The whole experience was great from our 1st step into the meeting place to the end of our tour, the whole staff was awesome, friendly and helpful. We would take the tour again.

This was a very neat experience however the session lasts a full hour which for me was a little long - I did get a tiny bit of motion sickness during the treatment which they say is normal if you're sensitive, but I do wish I knew that ahead of time.
