As a huge fan of everything mob related, I just HAD to pay a visit to the Mob Museum on it's opening day--especially considering I've been looking forward to the opening since I first got word of the project. The fact that its location is the old Federal Courthouse and post office provides a very historical appeal. Upon walking up the steps and into the building, you begin to have a sense of where you are upon seeing old p.o. boxes along the wall. \n\nThe tour begins on the third floor where you are immediately able to take part in one of their many interactive exhibits. They do allow picture taking, so make sure to bring a camera! They encourage visitors to take at least 2 hours to go through the museum, and trust me-- there is definitely 2+ hours worth of information, literature, photos, artifacts, interactive exhibits, and media. \n\nMy personal favorite piece in the museum was the actual wall from the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. I'm a huge Al Capone buff, so seeing the wall and reading the information about it literally gave me chills. \n\nNote: Some of the photos/graphics are not suitable for young children, so you might want to leave the children at home for this one.
