Quick entry, but not much else

As a first-time visitor, I found the skip-the-line part helpful, but the actual entry still took longer than expected. The crowd inside made it hard to enjoy the space calmly. For a short city break, it fit the day, though I expected a smoother visit overall.

Smooth entry and easy visit

Skip-the-line entry worked perfectly, and we entered without waiting.

Guter schneller Eintritt

Der Eintritt ging zügig, aber die Schlange war trotzdem noch etwas länger als erwartet.
