A must see

This is a must when downtown Denver is on the itinerary.. it’s small but completely interactive and interesting. Fun for all ages. Best part? You pay once and could go back all day

Great for autistic kids. ...

Great for autistic kids. They wanted to do every illusion multiple times. My nephew clipped his finger on a metal bar and the front desk had a band aid and some anti biotic ointment for us.

An hour or less

It was too expensive for what you get. I thought that there wasn’t enough value. It was too expensive for a family of 4

Disappointed

It was okay, not exactly what I was expecting it was more like Pop Up then museum, there really was not that many illusions and for the price you have to pay, when I think of museum this is not it, I really can't recommend to anyone

A fun thirty minutes, little pricey

The tickets were 25 each. We spent about 30 minutes there since my kids are older teens. We enjoyed the exhibits, but it seemed a little overpriced for what we got. $100 for 4, for half an hour of fun. If you can find a ticket special, then definitely go!

Operator response

Thank you for your 4-star review, AJ! We're glad to hear you and your family enjoyed the exhibits and had a fun visit together. We appreciate your honest feedback about the value, especially when visiting with older teens who may move through the museum more quickly. Our experience is designed to encourage guests to interact with the exhibits, discover how the illusions work, and capture creative photos, so the amount of time spent can vary quite a bit from one group to another. We understand, though, that everyone has different expectations when it comes to admission pricing. We're also excited that our Denver location will be undergoing a major expansion later this year, nearly tripling in size and adding many new illusions and interactive exhibits. We think it will provide an even richer experience for guests of all ages. Thank you again for visiting, and we hope to welcome you back after the expansion!

Nice Start for a fun time

Located conveniently on the 16th street mall. Several entertaining things to see and do. Hopefully, will be enlarged over time. Less than two hours required for visit.

Pretty much was done...

Pretty much was done within a half hour and it was a cool experience. Chaotic with people going through everything all at once and being pushy instead of being patient waiting
