Yeah, it will require transport, however. I miss the free trolley!

Absolutely. I certainly wouldn't buy tickets for anything in advance. BTW, I saw the Museum of Industry has a Harry Potter "exhibition" this summer, which sounds like fun. They're selling advance, timed tickets. But the admission price is over $25 per person. I can't believe we'd get our money's worth.
