For our daughter's Sweet 16th, we were able to get only 5 tix for Friday at 4:45 for her friends. Is there docents in the exhibit? Can my husband and I wait in the souvenir shop while they are in the exhibit? Are there pix taken like at Disney?

No pictures are taken. There is staff on hand but I would not call them docents. And yes, you can likely wait in the gift shop.

You can take pictures taken by candytopia if you choose to do the candytopia experience. It should be offered through your email confirtmation of the tickets. Otherwise you can take pictures on your phone. Tickets are checked from the entrance before you enter so I'm not sure if you can wait in the gift shop. Going through the exhibit is about 40-50 minutes

NO PIX DISNEY, UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ETC....BUT YOU GUYS HAVE THE SOUVENIR STORE AND YOU HAVE THE MANHATTAN MALL IN THE NEXT DOOR IS NEW YORK EVERY WHERE FUN!!!!

No pix like Disney, yes you can wait at the souvenir shop
