Versailles is beautiful, ornate, and spectacular but that all gets lost in the sea of people you will have to wade through to get around. We purchased a Museum Pass which included access to the palace, but we still had to stand in line for over an hour and a half just to get inside. Once inside, you're elbow to elbow with the thousands of others trying to see the rooms and learn the history of the palace. It may be worth it to purchase a timed entry to avoid the line, but unless you get there when they open, be prepared for a claustrophobic experience.
