First, the scale is awesome. I also felt the length was adequate, but I'd have wanted more time AFTER the program to look at it and ask questions. The key in the room below was helpful. More

We had no idea something like this existed but enjoyed the movie before it and then the cyclorama. It is a painting the size of a football field wrapped around in a circle. It depicts the battle scene and painted in such a way it is 3D! Neat Neat Neat experience. More
