Overcharging prices

The museum is too small for the price of tickets. Tickets shouldn’t be more than $20. Paying $30-35 a person for a 15-20 min tour is ridiculous. The pricing is overcharging

Had not heard of these but it looks like they have several around the US. It was a blast with our kids as we enjoyed every part of it. Neat area it’s in as well!

Lots of fun and laughter, truly enjoyed it.

Lots of fun interactive activities, some are brain teasers, we particularly enjoyed the Kaleidoscope. The reason I gave TripAdvisor a 4 (not the Museum) is because when I purchased the tickets for 4pm, It was not made clear to me that it is self guided. We arrived early and I thought we needed to wait for the rest of the 4pm group but the staff just scanned my tickets and off we went on our own. The staffs in the museum are wonderful. They have free lockers you can use. This place is next to the city Foundry where you can get foods in the food court

A Fun Afternoon!

This was a great way to spend a super hot summer afternoon! It was as fun as the pictures advertise. We took our time and tried everything a few times and took lots of photos. My teenage daughters really enjoyed it! The staff was super friendly and offered to help with pictures and the overall experience several times while we were there.

Don’t miss this super fun experience!

We had a great time in this very unusual museum. I would highly recommend it for families with older kids. Would definitely go back again.

Overpriced

It's hardly a museum. As a museum lover, I was hoping for the science and scientists behind the illusions, but the limited descriptions they had were juvenile at best. For the price you get a few cool photo ops, but the bulk of the "illusions" you can do at home with a few videos.
