This place has been pretty non-existant for at least 3 yrs. How can it even be in the top 10? There is nothing there to see!!

Wear sandles and take your kids for a couple hours of education and fun. I recommend the museum tour as well. If you were raised anywhere near the mighty Mississippi or other large rivers you will enjoy this attraction. Use your sandles to splash along the way.
Pros
+ monorail ride, water fun, memphis belle
Cons
- not much shade, need live music, a bit dated
