For our visit we bought tickets online, opted for the fast track tickets which lets you jump the queue for the elevator going up and coming back down. You get a fast track sticker for your clothes so the guides can see you are priority. It worked really well for us as the queues were quite long, we went straight to the front. 😆

The staff were warm, professional, and very attentive, making the visit ev...
