A full fledged Level-D 737-200 sim, analog yes, but still pretty much the same experience as a commercial pilot would experience.
Definitely worth checking out, provided you get a little experience first ..and don't drink a woodford beforehand (or else those panels could really show some new colors
)

ETA: Would be cool if once DL retires all of the 747s and no longer needs those sims, they bring one of them to museum as well. Give us a chance to fly the queen of the skies. I would consider paying $450 - perhaps even a little more - for that experience.

I did a session in the simulator and found it to be an incredible experience. Absolutely one of the highlights of my year. Expensive but worth it!

I did the simulator with my brother and father. It was the experience of a lifetime for them. Neither had any experience but the retired pilot guided them through several landings and takeoffs. I sat in the back filming it (and laughing). It is a pretty realistic experience.
The simulator experience is for 1-4 people. I would say it is best done with 2. That way you get enough time in the seat to get in some flying time.
