Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The museum of interesting things is really quirky and well worth the $15 fee for about 90 minutes of entertainment. The proprietor (Denny Daniel) is quite the character and very engaging. His interest in photography and film is deep. It’s in a residential building so don’t be surprised when you ask the doorman about the location.

    I have 3 boys (ages 13, 10 and 7) and they all really liked this place. We were there for about an hour and a half. They had a lot of fun and with each ticket, you get to make a container of your own slime (choose the type, color, scent and 3 charms) for free. We watched the ultimate experience where people get slime dumped on them. I personally wouldn't do it. It's pretty much colored water dumped on you for a few seconds. Not worth the extra $ in my opinion. For a family of 5, this was expensive but thankfully they all loved it, which made it worth it. Is it small? Yes although from all the reviews saying how tiny it was, it was bigger than I expected. It was busy but not too crowded. Very manageable. We made a reservation online.

    Nicely done with a great message and educational aspects, amazing virtual reality part. A bit pricey though.
