Like I said it's not for everyone. I notice your from Gettysburg when I went I think they had a special event dealing with civil war injuries I don't know if that runs all the time. It is crowded but it moves I went about 3ish after the zoo. I'll just be quick and explain : in the civil war section they had on display a shattered wrist bone where it was hit with a musket ball. I hope you enjoy it when you go just because I may not have liked it doesn't mean you won't either
