Spent lovely time with my kids at the museum of illusions. Interesting exhibits and trivia kept everyone engaged. One could easily spend a couple of hours working through the puzzles and illusory experiences. The photo ops are a memorable plus

The museum of illusions is a lovely experience for families with kids as it offered many hands on opportunities to complete puzzles and illusions. Is ideal for a short experience for a few hours and is located near the old souk and creak area.

As soon as you enter the Museum of Illusions, get ready to experience the mind-boggling phenomenon of optical illusion. Optical illusions and holographs abound in the museum, and nothing is as simple as it looks at first glance. In the Infinity Room, you will dozens of images of yourself, courtesy of numerous full height mirrors present in the room. True to its name, you will feel as if you are standing in the middle of an unending space. In the Ames room, you can see how walking back or forth can make a person grow or shrink in size. The Tilted Room, although quite normal-looking from the outside, will prove to be impossible to stand upright. It is also known as the Antigravity Room, you will soon find out why! The Vortex tunnel with its lighting and illusions will make you dizzy and almost impossible for you to take a step forward! In the Chair Illusion room, you will understand how much the perceived size of an object is influenced by its surroundings. Several other interesting rooms and exhibits are present, and will surely leave you in awe!

If you aren’t the type to get excited over illusions and tricks, then the Dilemma Games are guaranteed to keep you busy. Numerous perplexing puzzles and games are present, and you can put your cognitive abilities and problem-solving skills to the test. If any particular game catches your eye, you can buy it at the museum shop and continue solving it at home.
