There can be a line sometimes because the interior is not that big. Luckily, there was no line when we arrived in the early evening. We started on the main floor and there is the fireplace scene where all the letters come flowing through, great for pictures. The basement also has this scene and more unique items for sale and to look at. The staff were wonderful and we spent about 30 minutes there, but you could easily spend more time...and money!

However after paying, one of us checked the receipt and the full Visa card number and expiry date were printed on the receipt! This seemed sketchy as every other receipt always had the first numbers starred out. In calling the bank they agreed this was fishy and cancelled the card as a precaution.
