From the minute you walk into the place, when you have to decide what you want to do before you pay and someone has to explain it all to you,this place is totally confusing. After 3/4 of an hour of wandering round we came out of the entrance as we couldn't find the exit, found a map and saw that we had missed the film show. When we went back in ...

So informative and such a lot of fun. The staff so efficient - time runs out as you become lost in another world. Excellent. Give it full marks a credit to Christchurch.
