We brought my mother n law and my father n law for my father n laws 80th birthday. He has always been a big Elvis Fan. Him and my mother n law loved the show.They both kept talking about how much the gentleman looked so much like Elvis and sounded a lot like the real Elvis.They even got up and danced. It made me happy to see them both having such a good time. The gentleman was really friendly and let me take their picture with him. He had a good sense of humor also.Seems like a real nice person.

We loved it! It was beautiful and very well organized. I know it stated there was not allowed to be pictures taken on the first floor. Some people were taking pictures and hogging the display. It was not fair to other people. Overall, we loved it and plan to suggest it to others!

Found out alot that I didn't know! Love the idea of boarding passes, we found our characters & they happened to survive! Highlight are the blind person playing the piano, feel the temp room & the outstanding Lego titanic & of course the infamous grand staircase! Loved it!

Eli did an amazing job! He deserves to be in a larger auditorium with a live band. Mitchell’s-Texas
