Hello, the truth is that I expected something else, everything is mechanized without any attention to children, the elderly and the disabled, as for the entrance I think it is expensive and there are no discounts for anyone, neither pensioners, nor disabled people or anything, what's more I asked the girl who sells the tickets if there was any discount and she told me that for the mayor we were all equal, and of course we are all equal of course, but then they really like to show off with the disabled...
