    Don't try the cafeteria's pizza. It's like trying to chew through cardboard glued to a sponge.

    While they close at 6, they really start kicking you out in no uncertain terms starting at 5.30. I even got kicked out of the shop at 5.45. No tourist £s for you! :-p

    Don't bother coming on a Saturday. Its packed and your child will only be disappointed when they don't get in to the attractions.
