We had been looking forward to this event with the children for a long time, wondering about Oodi's roof windows being installed with a large crane during the summer heat, thinking about what kind of place it would be, and dreaming about everything Oodi would offer. Our first visit happened on a Friday evening, when the worst of the opening day crowds had passed and we were able to wonder at the gleaming new Oodi in peace</em>.</p>
