It's an easy 5 stars because it's so beautifully maintained and there's just so much to see -- but that's not to say it's perfect! Quibbles include:
* the "Family" audio guide tries unsuccessfully to appeal to both kids and parents; any child over 8 is going to be fine with the regular audio guide
* even a very small group "stopping" together inside the Crown Jewel exhibit freezes the entire queue, with very limited space to step around and go on; this ups the time required to far, far too long. Even just fractionally better crowd control would make this exhibit less of a trial
* the entire arms and armor exhibit could do with a substantial revamp and much better explainers; you'll see *lots* of curious kids wanting more information but not being able to get it from signs, audio commentary, or even the yeoman warders.
