Loved the arcade exhibit! Not only was the place fun, but the people running it were absolutely fantastic and genuinely wanted to make sure everyone had a great time. If all art exhibits have such lovely people involved, it is well worth your time.

I love it, honestly. The attractions and artist showcases are new every month. If you're lucky, you can meet the artist and really pick their brain on how these pieces work. There's something new every month, so there's always a reason to check it out. You can see it right from the D-line on your left if you're heading towards the city proper.
