It was a very frustrating and quite lame experience. Horrible entry experience. An overcrowded lobby right with people trying to take off and store rain gear in tight space. The name of the place, written in English, gives the impression it caters to English speakers. We enter a mini theatre for a short documentary film. About 3 minutes into the German speaking film, I got up, exited the theatre, and had to go the the front desk to see if there was translation available. The attendant, looking annoyed, walked back toward the theatre and grabbed headsets for us. Nothing was mentioned about their need or availability beforehand. Knowing nothing about Sisi, we pretty much discovered her claim to fame was her fitness routine, preoccupation with fashion/her looks, and that she spent most her time avoiding her role by traveling. It appears She was assassinated during one such abdication of duty. Next came the VR boat ride that again had me tracking down an attendant for English gear. Again, provided begrudgingly and looking annoyed. The “boat ride” had relatively nothing to do with history or any meaningful info about Sisis life. Just an oohing and ahhing actress in a low cut dress sitting in front of you talking about nothing important. Sorry we wasted 45 minutes here.
