The guided tour was well... - The guided tour was well worth the money. Although with general admission, you can still over hear parts of the tour if there are a guided tours going on at the same time, but you won’t get the same experience for sure. We learned a lot, and our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable.

Fun and enlightening experience! - So much fun! Our tour guide, Taylor, was so knowledgeable and entertaining. I am a history professor, and I thought this was an excellent public history experience. Spring for the guided tour and cocktail experience. It was so worth it, and you get half off drinks in the speak easy afterwards!

Rory is great! - Rory gave us a wonderful guided tour through a highly detailed museum. Very entertaining! Last time we went through it was overwhelming when we went in our own. The classic cocktail at the speakeasy at the end was delicious!

Would totally recommend!!! - Loved this museum! So fun and informational. Done so well. The wax figures are so realistic. There are docents everywhere to answer questions and give info. It’s set up so realistically you feel like you’re part of the prohibition times. The speakeasy and drinks from the times was the cherry on top. Would totally recommend this museum.

Awesome Sauce and great value - Tour guide was awesome and engaging. Excellent pace and fun. Cocktail portion drug on a bit, but was still enjoyable, just wish it had been as uptempo as the tour.

Solid time - Great experience! I just wish they had more names by the black photographs. It would have been helpful. They had several names by most of the other photos but when it came to the black gangster section…you were left wondering who were they. Other than that…the whole experience was amazing!

Fun Diversion - Would recommend - Informative and fun museum, giving the history of Prohibition in the country. Many original artefacts and scenes. Offbeat and worth a visit. And a speakeasy with a complimentary cocktail at the end, beautifully decorated with period furniture.
