If you go at the right time of day its nice and lit up and feels safe. During those times you can also get maps and travel information. If you dont go during those times you get to walk around the back of a dark building to use the restrooms that may or may not be clean...

There was a Dino Museum exhibition here today, and of course it was a little cheesy with a great big expensive gift shop at the end, but the kids had a lot of fun in the bounce houses upstairs, so, thats all that matters.By the way, this place is huge! I mean HUGE!, and everywhere you look there was beautiful cultural murals on the wall, and decor. I snapped some shots of it all.There were also pretty views on the outside garden area. It was a very classy convention center.My only complaint was that the water fountains needed some seriously better pressure. Children were having a hard time drinking from them, with a parents help.Other than that, its still a nice place. It was also very clean.

We arrived at 12:31 pm on a Sunday and the building was dark and locked. A clock sign said they would return at 1. They just opened at 10!

Have all your tourist needs. Great staff and excellent customer.

Very nice and friendly staff but needs a public restroom.

As a VC (visitors center) you should be open ON ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR TOURISM/CASUAL STROLL DAYS OF THE WEEK!!!!Heres a thought, VC+STARBUCKS (always open, granted IGNORANT baristas but at least the pamphlets are within reach).Oh, and I really loved the idea of being ambushed by the black, authority-laced security girl greeting me with YOU CANT PARK THERE in the VC parking lot, empty but for one red cars (yuh, take a guess who owns that one!).Exit is chained off but the entrance is open.No cones.No signs.Nothing saying VC CLOSED TODAY.Nothing saying CRAFY FAIR EVENT PARKING ONLY TODAY.But hey, why think 1mm past your minimum wage job? Advancement? Dont worry, your skin color pretty much requires it. QUOTA QUOTA MORONIC-QUOTA.

Same experience of Wasahignton DC

Great Show!!
