Packed, iconic, and still amazing

The scale hits you immediately, and the history feels real when you are standing inside. It was busy, but the entry process moved steadily with a timed ticket. The best part was taking a slow loop and stopping to read the signs instead of rushing for photos. Go early if you can, and bring water because there is a lot of standing.
