“There was no reason to prebook this ticket. If you want to go, just show up and pay admission. There are tours every so often in different languages so the only thing to plan ahead on what time you’d like to go. There was a lot of reading, which is no fun for kids, and just a little bit of interactive stuff but none of it was particularly exciting. The ride was awful. I wish I’d spent a third hour at the Vasa Museum instead.”
