Mind boggling entertainment and education.

Belly laughter and education. Still in awe of the illusions on offer, mind boggling. Can get a little crowded and no queuing system.

Worthless

I think £1600 for three people and $100 for a lot. Look at reviews, you won’t lose anything, at least spend the money here and a good restaurant

Huge disappointment. Not worth it at all.

The Istanbul Illusion Museum was a complete disappointment. The price is unbelievably high for what you get. The place is much smaller than expected and the exhibits are extremely limited. Even small children would struggle to find anything engaging. Overall, it felt short, overpriced, and absolutely not worth the visit. Definitely wouldn’t go again and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Fun

The museum is fun for all ages. There are clear signs indicating where you can stand to take your photos. And thanks to Lamia's fantastic help, we even got a ton of photos of us together. The museum isn't large, but it offers at least 45 minutes of fun and wonder.

It was a perfect experience. I enjoyed with my friends over 30 but I think it is very suitable for even kids too.

We spent around 40 min there. Every exhibitions have their own secret. There was no limit for photo shooting. It was in the hears of Istanbul, near Sishane station

A great disappointment (Büyük hayal kırıklığı)

Unfortunately, going to this museum was a great disappointment for us. In the commercials everything is shown very attractive, but in fact it is not even a museum, several rooms and a very limited number of exhibits. The staff say it takes 40-45 minutes for everything, but in fact 20-25 minutes is enough for everything to be exact. The inside of the "museum" is not as bright and colorful as in the commercials, so don't expect to get the same cool photos. There are many visitors, but the ventilation in the museum apparently does not work well as it was quite stuffy. It's terrifying to think what happens there in the summer, if that was the case in April, in cool and rainy weather. For three people (2 adults and 4 year old child) we paid 1,390 lire and it was our worst waste of money. I sincerely advise no one to waste time on this museum. It may have been great there once, but now it's just a boring little space that didn't thrill us or the kid. In Istanbul you can find a huge number of places much more interesting.

Not bad.

Nice museum in a dynamic neighborhood On the other hand we quickly go around And admission is a bit expensive (the museum is very small) But it's still an experiment to do

While away an hour,it’s not bad

I believe this was about £14 each admission. Definitely took less than an hour in there. Some of the illusions are very good, others are pretty average. Good place to go in the rain. Young teens would probably appreciate it the most. Not going to post any pictures as that would ruin it. They do have a lift if you’re not able to do the stairs.

Cool museum

The Museum of Illusions or Museum of Illusions Istanbul as it can be identified on the map is not quite a standard museum. There are no exhibits here that cannot be touched, and you can only be behind the red line. On the contrary, you can and should fool around, do some funny things, and at the same time get a little acquainted with the laws of physics. Located almost in the city center in the Beyoglu district, a stone's throw from the Şişhane metro station. Inexpensive but fun. I recommend it for those with children.
