Overpriced, not that great

m8888888's rating:

"I loved this museum when I was a kid! They have all kind of wacky information and models of strange things around the world, like the two-headed calf or a man with two pupils in each eye. There are also optical illusions and things like that. As an adult, I realize that the museum is pretty cheesy! Plus, they have them all over the world, and they’re exactly the same everywhere. There’s nothing special about the one in San Francisco, which is a bummer! I also think they’re overpriced. But if you haven’t seen one, and you have small children, I think it would still be fun to go."
