Don't Waste Your Money

We went to the Arizona Science Centre today for the Star Trek Experience and were quite disappointed that none of the artifacts worked ... like the buttons on any of the Next Generation consoles etc. There was lots of reading and we read over 3 times Einstein’s theory of relativity in different areas ... sigh!
We were also disappointed that we couldn't take pictures especially because there we nothing to purchase Star Trek related ... No posters, pins, T-Shirts ... no memorabilia what-so-ever!!! ... The employees in the outside gift shop said that the ASC broke its contract with Paramount and hence Paramount took all the gifts back ... Why this wasn't told to the general public is beyond me ... we would have saved ourselves $40.00 and gone elsewhere for the day!
Best we'll give is about a 3 out of 10. No interactivity, the voice tour was a waste of $6.00 because only 10% of the exhibit had numbers. This is our disappointing. At least let people take pictures ... we have absolutely no memorabilia of the event ... Pout!!!
