This one that we visited was designed according to the natural and man-made environment of Istanbul. when we were in the dark, we followed the walls by touching and we tried to find a bicycle. Besides, we tried to find a seat in the boats and metros which are designed by this organization. Each session 10 people can experience that and it takes 1 hour.
