I was dragged here by my teenage daughter and I originally wanted to wait outside but changed my mind as it was so humid. I was very glad that I did. An original idea (first I have seen anyway) and VERY good staff who helped us a lot with arranging "best" ways to take a picture. They helped us constantly, even when they were not asked. The pictures came out very, very well. There is also a 3D section which was entertaining too. Found just behind the TUNE hotel, 5 minutes from the Esplanade. A place with NO culture and NO history but plenty of fun!
