"For what this property’s purpose is the experience is worth much more than the cost of admission. Banksy’s art and influence in the design gives you a glimpse into to the life and struggles of the Palestinian people. The on-site Museum and art gallery are an added bonus. You can easily spend and hour in the Museum alone. Highly recommended. You owe yourself this delicious treat. "
