I have heard great things about the Mopop but I was so let down. You really have to be a big fan of what they have on exhibit to enjoy it. And with the expensive price point you have to know ahead what you're getting so you don't end up feeling ripped off like we did. When I went with my 3 kids (8,6,2) and my in-laws the main largest exhibits were David Bowie, evolutions of guitars and video gaming, Jimmy Hendrix, and Star Trek. After an hour we were all done. I have never seen a Star Trek episode and I'm not into David Bowie or Jimmy Hendrix. My in laws are In their 70s and they weren't impressed with lack of variety of the exhibits. There is so much more to pop culture than music which was like 75% of the museum. I personally was most excited for the video game exhibit and was so let down. There were a bunch of different monitors with different games you could play and 3 larger areas for wii type interactive games. We went on a week day and this place was packed (probably because its the only place remotely fun for kids). We tried out 4 games and the monitors were all frozen saying they were loading. There weren't any employees anywhere in sight to assist. Sadly we didn't get to even try anything because the same 10 kids wouldn't get off the only games that were working. It would have been so neat if they had the option to try out different gaming systems from the past but it wasn't like that at all. I would save your money and instead go to the science center unless you're a die hard David Bowie fan that wants to see 200 pictures of him.
