Definitely NOT worth the money! Purchased for surprise father's day gift. Though no fault on the tour guide herself, it was the management of the museum that made her wait until the late party arrived, then she was scheduled to be at Guest Services at 8:45. Our "one hour" supposed tour lasted 35 minutes! It was rushed and only through the Evolution area of the museum. I had expected special back-access tour through more of the music. I'd rather have saved money and just purchased regular tickets!
