The museum features over 60 exhibits within its 6,300-square-foot space that can be enjoyed by guests of all ages.
There are guides throughout the museum and they are super helpful in explaining the illusions and assisting with photography. This was great for our family. We went to see all the illusions and some of them were tricky to figure out. It was nice to have guides throughout to let you know how the illusions worked and we had them set up some our photos too!
The Vortex Tunnel was a mind-spinning illusion that played tricks on us! It’s a short bridge to walk across but it seems like you are in another world! You can go again and again if you want! The tilted room is fun for the kids, they like to try this one and see how it works!
The Head on a Platter is just plain fun and funny for kids! I mean what kid would think this is super hilarious! The Beuchet Chair is silly! This one is all about setting up a photo! You don’t realize what you are doing until you see the picture! The Cloning Table is another fun spot for kids, mainly because they get to throw cards in the air!
There are interesting images throughout the museum. Can you look at holograms, optical illusions, and more. Each of them give you a quick description of what you are looking at and experiencing!
There is a game room at the end of the museum is filled with puzzles and brainteasers designed to test visitors’ patience and coordination. We spent a lot of time trying to figure out one of the puzzles.
And a small gift shop offers merchandise and funny keepsakes like desktop puzzles and super-sized rubber pencils.
Periodically, new exhibits are swapped out from other Museum of Illusions locations to keep things fresh for return visitors.
We spent about an hour exploring the attraction’s hands-on exhibits and experience rooms.
Tickets, which are available to purchase on the Museum of Illusions official website. The Museum can be found on the second floor, near the North entrance to the Mall.
