I had a blast hanging out at MoPop, this is a museum I could spend a whole day at if the schedule allowed it. I was able to explore the following areas with my favorites listed

The Thrill "Scared to Death" of Horror Film - There were some great movie props from classic and pretty current horror films. My Favs: Jason Voorhees, Michael Meyers, and the Walking Dead section.

Infinite Worlds of Science Fiction - Space Marines gear from Aliens, Starship Troopers Gear, Ghostbusters Proton Pack and Back to the Future Hover Boards.

Fantasy- Worlds of Myth and Magic. My Favs: Princess Bride Costumes, Conan's Sword, and a Dungeons and Dragons set from the 1970s. (yes, I nerd hard)

Marvel Exhibit - Statues of The Thing, Spider Man are a must for your social media fans. I loved how they broke down the history of Marvel Comics and how the heroes evolved. It's much better seeing and reading the art on the wall versus reading on the interwebs.

The Sky Church hall was constantly playing pop music videos. The sheer size of the visual and audio was amazing. The 8 Bit Nintendo World is cool to look at with games for the kids. The Hendrix and Nirvana section educates you on the talented artists.

Overall this place is an amazing visual, audio and informational experience that kept my brain stimulated and entertained for hours. It kept me awake when I was hungover working on 2 1/2 hours of sleep from my last night on the cruise ship. You are given a sticker that allows you to leave and re-enter the museum throughout the day. That was a great convenience I appreciated later in the day. The Gift Shops are dangerous as they sell a lot of cool stuff. It's on the pricier end ($36 with the Marvel Experience added) but if you're a Pop Culture junkie like myself, it's well worth it. Check it out and enjoy! =)
