Is Planet Word worth it as a couple?

Worth itAs a couple

As a couple, Planet Word works.

DC's sleeper-hit museum: you talk, sing, and play your way through 50-odd interactive exhibits about how language works, and a 22-foot 'speaking willow' tree whispers greetings in hundreds of tongues. The catch: it's hands-on by design, so on busy days the timed exhibits back up and you'll wait your turn at the popular stations.
