"One of male employee is very rude. We are a group of four adults, carrying a baby. He enforced us storing our bags in an open cabinet, told us it is “the policy” to leave bags behind but they are **not** responsible for them. We don’t think it is safe enough so we had to leave two persons behind to watch for the bags while other people in the group going up, while waiting in the lounge I sat down on a chair next to the cabinet, but was asked to stand up, I asked why I’m not allowed when it’s so obvious that putting a chair there is for people to sit on, he told me it is “the policy”. When I thought it is the end of the story, the male employee keeps coming back and checking on us, making us feel we’re some kind of criminals, saying stuff like “I’m not being difficult but there is a policy”. Ok i got it but why repeating it? We felt so uncomfortable at the end and returned the ticket instead."
"Nice view. Students can get on the tower for free by showing ID."

"Lovely area. Attended the Hoover Institution Education Summit 2022. Great work being done by HESI and CREDO to improve the lives of children by way of High Quality Education. The research they offer on K-12 Education modes & policies are great to know and use."
