THE VIEW FROM THE DOME
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

"I like it a lot. It's big and great fun. My favourite bit was the Time Keepers. I liked firing off balls. The talking furniture in the Time Capsule just went blank. When you talk, it doesn't say anything back. I was a bit disappointed with that. In the Play Zone I tried the pillow fight where you have to hit people. I like the Dome about the same as Legoland. It is better to come in small groups. I'd give it nine out of ten."

"I think it's really, really great. It feels very welcoming when you come in and, just as you imagine, it is very big. Time Keepers was my favourite. You get the chance to throw balls at people you have never seen before. I didn't like the Time Capsule. It was a good idea, but just wasn't fun. I liked the tug of war in the Play Zone, where there was a cartoon character pulling against you. I'd give the Dome nine-and-a- half out of 10."

"I'm going to tell my parents not to bother coming. It's a waste of space, time and money. It all seems pretty pretentious, especially the sign saying: `Hopes and fears for the next millennium'. To be honest, I found the train station more interesting. The table football was good, but I didn't like the educational bits in the Work Zone like the maths and the spelling. It's like all the worst bits of museums that try to be fun."
