At $22, it was pricier than I would have liked, but was much more interesting than I would have thought. I loved the clothing, but the cars were quite fun as well! More

Visited with family (all adults) and had a fantastic time. This is good for those who have seen the show and those who have not. Really well organised, especially with the cars next door for the men! Good value, and highly recommended, especially if the weather isnt great. More

The wearable art part of the exhibition was enjoyable but I was hoping to see more wearable... More
