Update 6/11/12:  The review is in and it looks good.

I visited the exhibit and am dishing.  It's all you'd expect - full of cool creations and interactive experiences, but get this.  There's no store!  That's right.  It's a totally free exhibit minus the merchandising opportunity, allowing parents to skip the "I said no!" and crying kid parts.
