I will admit I was not happy about the cost of admission. In the end I think we got our money’s worth. We were there over 3 hours. There’s a lot of exhibits to go through. The staff was great. Very welcoming. Explained the process. Upon arrival you get a stylus and pair of earbuds. There is also a wristband you will use to register and select what interests you. At some of the exhibits you tap your wristband so it’s a personalized experience. It’s asked that you use the stylus for typing when necessary. The Comedy Center was very clean. A lot of room for distancing.

So much fun and so worth it! They gave us wrist bands that worked on everything most stuff was interactive and it personalized your experience. They also gave us each a stylus to use so you don't have to touch anything. Plus our own earbuds. It was very clean! Some wore masks some didn't we always do. Also social distancing seems to be something people don't understand but it was a Monday so not very bust. We spent three hours and did almost everything but you could have spent more watching videos of comedians. Very informative too.
