So we would recommend every visitor to take a tour! Really. Now, yes, we had the best museum guide you could ever wish for. Marland and his family is remarkable and amazing (and also a little scary and sad), the building is technically as well as stylistically, optically and architecturally exciting, there is a lot to see and you can dive into the past with pleasure and let yourself be touched if you like. The museum is very interesting in many ways. On this way a big thank you to David for this excellent Friday morning! So we had a great time with David, learned a lot and were very impressed! There we have had really luck. Because there were almost no other visitors on site, we were lucky that David, the Executive Director, could take the time to give us a fine guided tour with excellent explanations and exciting stories and we were also allowed to ask lots of questions. We visited the museum on a quiet day in May 2023. We were planning on staying all night but the second time a large group of probably 15 in a single room next to ours woke up our two year old with blaring music we were done and drove the 2 1/2 hours home, this was also the second room we were place in the first room had a problem with a roof AC unit causing a defining hum in the room you could even feel the vibration on the walls and bunkbeds for the kids!! I will say brandy at the front desk is the shining star of the whole place!!!! Really sad to see this place headed in this direction as it was one of our favorite spots, probably will not choose to make the trip back! One big draw was the water park was for hotel guests only, which was great because it was never overcrowded, but they have decided to sell day passes and the pool areas are entirely to busy with way to many people trying to swim for the size and especially the number of lifeguards. We have been several times and always enjoyed ourselves, but the last couple times it is starting to go down hill.
