If you love movies, especially science fiction movies, you'll lose it in this place. They have special displays all the time (when I visited, the awesome Blade Runner display was still on), and the wall of ray guns throughout film history was amazing in and of itself.
Also.. they have the Queen Alien and the Power Loader from "Aliens" is there. Worth the price of admission (which is cheap!) alone.

I'm not a music buff, but the guitar history exhibit (and display) was cool. The Nirvana/Punk exhibit brought me back to adolescence. I was especially excited about the sci fi/fantasy exhibits. My faves were pieces from Stargate SG-1, The Matrix, and Doctor Who, Snow White and the Huntsman, Narnia, and art for Brave. There was also a video I didn't get to watch that featured LOTR and HP. The Fantasy atmosphere was cool.
Cool place within the MoPop; we were too tired at end of day so we skipped the Fantasy & Star Trek sections. Loved the Alien exhibits & kids enjoyed video game & music areas
The best parts are the Sound Lab, who offers soundproof rooms where groups can come together to play. It's nice to play with random people. They just entering and play with you. Also they have amazing shops, wih the names The EMP Store, EMP Specialty Store, and the EMP Museum Shop. Are you a music and movie fan? I highly recommend this place!
Awesome!
A great place to geek out. Fun and interesting.
I love this place. It is a blast for sci-fi, horror, and music lovers! Getting to take a pic with a dalek sums it up. Also I got four free decks of magic cards while there for PAX. I sang and played with instruments and over all was very pleased with the time I spent there!
