Reviews from Real Guests:

Zyn98: To be honest, I didn't understand pop culture at all before I got here. What was in my mind is that pop culture equals to pop songs. But coming to this place has totally changed my mind. MoPoP is a BIG musuem. It has 3 levels of different sections waiting for you to explore. My favorite part in MoPoP was the game room. My friend and I spent 1 hour playing games in there. Besides, you get to see a lot of costumes and props used in the movies. If you're a Harry Potter fan, you must check out this place!
