Worth the trip!
It is very interesting and cool to walk through the same areas that the stars walk through to get ready for a show. We saw some dressing rooms and the stage from behind with all the lighting. It was worth the trip!

Backstage tour
Great to see all the happenings backstage to put on a show. We even had a chance to get our picture taken on the circle-center stage.

Not worth the money paid
We arrived at 9.25 on Tuesday 12th thus booked 9.30 tour. I cannot remember the guides name. I felt we were rushed round, he spoke at breakneck speed and few anecdotes given to enhance the tour. Projector didn’t work for one of the cartoons/film and we were rushed off again. Just after Midway we met the 10am tour. Rushed and a rip off after paying $93 for 2. I think better to skip tour and put money towards a ticket for show.
