GoPlanit Reviews for Museum of Science
Went on Saturday, arrived at 3:30 ish - next available tx for Harry Potter exhibit was 6:30 - was shocked to learn the museum closed at 5 - had to wait 1 and 1/2 hours to get into Harry Potter - MOS must have known we would not have bought the tickets to HP if we knew the museum was going to close earlier than the Harry Potter exhibit... MOS rep should have provided this information at time of ticket purchase for HP... poor PR for sure, left a very bad taste
