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.

A bit expensive for the set up but overall as advertised.

It was a fun museum, the staff was relatively helpful. But honestly if you are going to charge $35 per adult, I don’t want to be sandwiched between groups going through the experiences. The group in front of us was 2 adults and 6 kids. We were 4 adults and 4 kids and behind us was a couple and one child. We were all trying to read and do the difference stages all on top of each other. It felt like a lot of hurry up to wait. Otherwise it was as advertised; a wide variety of illusions/tricks of the eye. If you are into this sort of thing you will be familiar with most of what is presented. Some of the illusions need a little touch up, peeling images and dented mirrors impact the appearance of illusions. Fun for my kids, so a 4.

We had fun b

We are 2 adults in our 60s and had a lot of fun with the hands on activities. We took our time walking around - it is not a huge place. The staff is extremely friendly.
