Our experience ;

It was a very fun and amazing experience going  there . You can see a lot of statues that most of us don't know about , we could not find what is the meaning of each statues but is sure very interesting to know. We had to pay $3 to take photos and $6 to record . So people get  ready your cameras and money when you get there ^^
