![]() My suggestion would be to make bus parties reserve a private viewing. They tried adding chairs but that forced some people to sit sideways since they couldn't fit comfortably. ![]() Additionally, if you are paying for a ticket, my expectation would be to have a sitting chair. It doesn't seem like they obey any fire safety guidelines and/or limitations of how many people there can be in the room at the same time. There was not enough room for everyone, some people were standing, others were sitting on the floor. ![]() When we were there, 20+ people took over all of our seats. For some reason, the owners think that by stretching it all out with fillers is what everyone wants?īuses: they accept walk-in bus tours. The whole presentation could be shortened to less than 2 hours. If you are attending for the show alone, skip it, as it is very average and they try to stretch it out by filling it in with 'drama', back-n-forth poorly per-scripted lines etc. You will learn A LOT about Houdini - and get a chance to look at a lot of neat items. The place is much smaller than you might think so from the website write-ups and pictures. There is tons of parking so that is not a problem. They do not open the door before 1PM so even if you get there few minutes prior, expect to stand outside the door. An olderly man was in our group and he couldn't stand for the full presentation - at one point he went back to the main room to sit down and was told to leave and go back to the other room to wait for the next part/lecture.Įxpectations: expect to be there for 3+ hours. And if you have elderly or poor health members that are thinking of attending, I would pass on this venue. This is not an event for small children - probably 10 and up is a good age. We are semi-local and based on our experience we were hoping to book my son's next birthday party.įirst and most important: do not go based on the age recommendations on their website. We came here with very high expectations after reading all of the amazing reviews. Hope you learn from my experience and save your time and money by NOT going to this place. Honestly, after wasting over 4 1/2 hours of family's time (plus the time it took yo travel to this place), I felt I was scammed with such a terrible experience. They said things like "we can sell you this item for this price ONLY for today!". Literally HALF of the magic show was pitching their goods from their "store.". I felt like I was in a kiddie birthday party where you hire cheap magicians. Dorothy probably had a total of ten tricks - most not impressive (tearing up newspaper, pulling pigeons out of a hat). We had to stand still in this crammed dirty room for 30 mins for our "tour" and I couldn't even see anything that she was pointing to. During the tour, they kept soliciting for "donations" - as if cost of our tickets were not enough. The guy also constantly brags about Dorothy (the main magician) and shows newspaper clippings of her - they were all written 30 years ago during her glory days. The place was filthy and a complete mess. When I was buying the tickets, the guy said "we never oversell, we only have about two dozen at a time." The tour was very disappointing. Then comes the tour where they cram literally 50 people into this tiny dinky little room (not safe with fire code!). First was a 10 minute movie which is basically self promoted show on themselves. ![]() We took our kids here based on the reviews. This is the biggest waste of time (4 hours) and money.
