Worth a visit. Decent network of underground tunnels connecting various rooms. Audio guide is full of information related to design and engineering. Need at least one hr. No guns are present.

Very informative audio tour and I was impressed with how much of the tunnel system you were able to see. Small, but appeared to be brand new gift shop/visitor center. Perhaps not worth going far out of your way for, but a great stop as part of a larger sightseeing itinerary in the area.
