I love that many parts of the exhibition was interactive and visitors were welcome to rake photos, which in many museums is not possible. Also, the fact that it is very children friendly and the people working there are very kind and helpful. I was expecting it to be a bit bigger, but maybe that was only in my head. The air was a bit sticky inside, but nothing critical. I would recommend it to my friends.

We thought it was much bigger, it is very small and also it was full of people, so in order to take advantage of some installations you had to wait a long time.

It is a small, manageable museum with nice illusions. Due to the small size and the large group that is allowed in (everyone in line gets in), you don't really get to see every illusion with photo opportunities. For the entrance fee, however, I would have expected the museum to be larger. There is no fast track entry even if you have bought your ticket online in advance.

The museum itself is very interesting, especially for children. But - despite the online ticket - a waiting time of about 1 1/2 hours is not acceptable. If we hadn't already paid for the tickets, we would have left.

Step into the rotating cylinder of the Vortex tunnel, that will make you feel as if you are spinning even as you stand on a completely stable surface. Take photos in seemingly impossible poses in the Upside Down Room, and trick your friends with a photo of the classic Head on the Platter illusion. Along with these, a plethora of illusions, games and puzzles that will simultaneously entertain you and trick your brain await you at the museum.
