Many of the attractions are interactive or have props for funny photos. The wax figures are pretty lifelike with good detail and you'll be surprised by how different (short/tall/small etc) some famous people are in "real life".

You can get to see and board a battleship and submarine. The James Cameron Challenger Deep Exhibit was both amazing and inspiring. If you go through all the exhibits it could take you at least a half day as the museum is fairly huge. Truly worth the price of admission.

When it comes to fine dining and degustation, Tetsuya's is the place, it doesn't get better than this. Service is exceptional as the staff explained each meal in great detail. Wine pairings complimented each dish perfectly. There was enough food to satisfy although each dish was no more than a few bites. Special place for special occasions, be sure to leave enough time to enjoy the meal.
