We loved the exhibit. The tickets were an issue. The normal add ons were not available because we did not buy the tickets from the museum.

The impressive views mainly; although at the beginning it was something as spectacular as the illuminated beams, and to see how the elevator works, not to say

Spectacular sunset. The beveled glass walls are also great. The glass floor and the view downwards are somewhat disappointing.
