I went to the Star Trek Exhibition, It was terrible. There were only 3 rooms of items , it was over priced, you can't even take pictures. The will take a pic of you for 27 dollars. This a money grab I had an awful time, at 23 dollars a ticket it is way overpriced.
:-/ I'm sorry to hear that, I was really hoping that this was a good exhibition.
It certainly looked good on their website when I was looking it over there. And the slideshow pictures at the gophila.com site has people in the replicas of the Next Generation Enterprise walking around with cameras taking pictures. Was it just no pictures of the displayed props or something?
I would love to hear anyone else's experiences with this. Thanks!
