Some neat, well-designed exhibits showing the history and vast culture behind puppetry arts. The staff left a lot to be desired. Different people had different answers as to where events were happening. We opted to pay more to make our own puppet and see a little show, neither of which were worth it. They both ended at 3pm and we arrived at 230pm but no one told us the times were conflicting and we wouldn't be able to do both. The "show" was not very good. One of the two ladies had great enthusiasm, but she was trying to talk over an audio visual exhibit right next to them so the kids were distracted the whole time. Her partner, with the puppet, was not good with the puppet at all. So much potential! The Jim Henson exhibit, for someone like myself born in the 80s, was very cool and nostalgic! Lots of the main characters, like Big Bird, and the little workers from Fraggle Rock. They also had some neat things for the kids to play with in this area, like puppets and books.
