“An immersive exhibition that touches the soul. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, staying true to Chaplin's humanism. You feel connected to his world from the moment the film starts at the cinema, before gradually exploring each theme of his vast body of work. A body of work that rises above human foolishness through laughter, poetry, beauty, dreams, and unconditional love. Universal.”

“5 stars for the mountain views, lucky with the weather and to be seated on the revolving part of the restaurant. Most of the cable staff were confused with this app/ticket, only one out of six knew to scan the QR code with a different app, the rest let us through the barrier with a couple of them saying we should have had a paper or different sort of ticket. No extra cost etc. but be warned. Waitress in the restaurant didn't recognise the ticket either so had to check with a manager but all good in the end. Meat and cheese board for 2 people as expected - four different ones of each, a couple of pieces of cheese, four slices of each meat.”
