I decided to go today and check it out and I enjoyed it very much! The way they have the exhibit setup is you start from the 3rd floor and work your way down to the 1st. When you first enter the building the box office is directly in front of you; to your right is the snack bar and gift shop. To the left of you is the entrance the attraction. You board an elevator and take it to the 3rd floor where the exhibit begins.
There are a lot of pictures, videos, artifacts and written material to cover so please allow yourself at least a couple of hours if not more to get the full experience. Along with the visual there is also interactive displays like a trivia poker style game and a shooting simulator.
When ex mayor Oscar Goodman pushed for this museum it wasn't without a lot of conflict. I think, however, this attraction was done tastefully and doesn't glorify the mob at all but rather gives us a lesson in history far better than any book could achieve.
Some parts of this attraction may be a little graphic, but with proper parental guidance your little ones should be fine.
Make sure to check this museum out either today or tomorrow to take advantage of this amazing offer. If you can't make it either day, admission is only $10 for locals.
