Definitely worth going to see, very clever especially the last one. Certainly plays with your mind..
This small museum was really fun to visit with my child. It is centrally located and has tons of photo opportunities. The small gift shop has some really cool toys and illusion games. We had fun interacting with all the exhibits and spent around 70 minutes there. It is a nice way to take fun family pictures and the museum was not crowded which made for a great experience.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We really appreciate your feedback and are thrilled to hear you and your family had a fun visit!
Adults, kids, and teens all had a good time. The exhibits were interactive and cute little gift shop to get a souvenir also.
So expensive for a fairly small amount of illusions. Our son was happy but I'm glad I had a coupon. Not worth the full price of over $40 per ticket.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and we will take this into consideration going forwards. We are thrilled to hear that your son had fun in our space! We hope to welcome you back soon!
It was cool but very short. We went through the whole thing in 25 min. It was not worth the price…..
The museum is a great attraction filled with engaging activities for the all ages! I took my 13yo grandson and we went thru each activity and thru the museum 3x. It was a lot of fun.
Great museum for teenagers and preteens who are willing to take lots of pictures. Most of the activities are photo centered. Going slow and taking lots of pictures at each station it takes about 45 minutes.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are very happy to hear that your whole family had a great time with us! We hope to welcome you back for more mind-bending fun soon!
Disney should have the room you walk through that makes you feel like you are turning upside down… amazing!
This museum was so much fun! My son and I had a blast. Some of the optical illusions are incredibly clever; we took a million fun photos of ourselves doing various poses. We also enjoyed the games. It was a unique experience. Highly recommended! One suggestion: Would you consider implementing a "Shoes Off" policy in the building exhibit? We wanted to lie down on the floor (to pretend to hang off the side of the building), but it was quite dirty because everyone had been walking on it.
Thank you for the thoughtful review, we greatly appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration moving forward. We are thrilled to hear that you and your son had fun with our illusions and games!
