very heavy and the museum aspect to the one and gallopers almost completely converted over to being interactive this is kind of a somewhere in the middle but it does have a lot of the old museum aspect to it if you'd like to see other places I've been are the roadside attractions amusement parks museums and other fun stuff please check the interactive map in the description you tell me where
