It was ok. Way smaller...

It was ok. Way smaller than advertised. I think the price should be cut in half based on the size of the place.

Disappointing Experience

I was expecting more based on advertisement. The activities were not exciting, except for bridge in the tunnel. My children (ages 7, 9, and 12) say the experience was boring and I have to agree with them. It was a waste of my time and money to visit. This trip was not worth it. I feel like I wasted my time and money.

Fun for your inner child

The museum is small but spaced so you can enjoy the interactive experience. Some of the exhibits did not work for me which was a disappointment. Also, near by parking costs more than the entrance fee.

Not what I expected.

I was expecting more. The advertising made it seem like there was more to experience. And it was kinda hard to figure out how the different exhibits worked. Luckily there were employees there to explain and help with photos. Overall we had a great time we were just expecting more.

Been there and done it

The exhibits are pretty neat. I thought there would be more to it than what it was. I can say I’ve been there done that.

Very cool museum

The Museum of illusions is very cool. My eyes were really deceiving me as to whether or not some of the pictures were moving or not (they were not moving but it looked like they were). The different mirrors made it look like you were seeing double. I was there alone so the museum staff were very helpful in taking pictures for me. I appreciate the help of Marley who explained a lot of the illusions to me and took many pictures for me. I recommend the Museum of Illusions.

Operator response

Thank you for visiting Museum of Illusions- Charlotte! Marley is important part of our team and we're glad that she was able to help you out! We are glad that you enjoyed your time here and hope to see you again soon!
