A former shoe factory turned surrealist playground: a 10-story slide, caves, a school bus dangling off the roof and tunnels everywhere. The museum prices general admission from $20 online — guides citing the museum note that's about 10% less than the ticket window. Kids 2 and under are free; the rooftop is an $8 add-on.
