Our experience with Headout was smooth and well organized. We visited Level 2 of the Science and Industry Museum, including the planetarium, which lasts about 45 minutes and starts exactly on time with a pre-booked time slot. We were there with two children aged 12 and 6, and both were fully engaged. There was so much to see that we could easily spend the whole day there. Highly recommended for families.

Skipping the line at the start. The audio guides made the museum experience great. Seeing the Mona Lisa but moreover the large painting behind it depicting the wedding where Jesus performed his first miracle.
