What parents say
"A bit pricey but its a fun place to snap pics and enjoy a little family fun time. $30 / 12yr+ for the small room. Has enough for clicking various pic with 3D background and a nice way to explore creative poses to merge with those background. One should stand in the marked spots for respective pics to be taken. But sometimes its quite hard to pose as it tends to get crowded and you feel like being pushed to move on without enjoying your creativity. The management to have a traffic control system with staggered entry"
