Nice place with many standard illusion and puzzles. We had a fun time but I don't see myself going back as for the most part it's one and done. It would be great fun for kids and I imagine having not seen so many of the standards, might have revisit possibilities. The staff were very nice.

This was a fun experience with my 7 yr old grandson. The exhibits were fun, the puzzles intriguing, and Johnny was an amazing host. He explained the illusions and helped us take great pictures. He had amazing customer service. We, 100%, recommend this museum.

Fun place to interact with illusions at your own pace. A few could have used a little assistance or instruction to make it quicker to get amazing photos of the illusions. Overall it was a great distraction for my kids of various ages on a rainy day, we stayed a little longer than an hour as two of them got stuck trying to solve the Tower of Hanoi. 😅

What a unique and interactive experience! The layout was open but still organized. I loved that. Being able to take a little extra time on one exhibit and not so much on another without the pressure of being ahead of someone or behind them made the experience much more enjoyable. I also loved the suggestions for taking photos and the perfect placement to photograph from. You still felt engaged without the feeling of not being in the moment from taking pictures. I wish it was a little bigger for the price, especially since parking on the north shore is an expensive part of the city. Definitely bringing my kiddos back down to see it too!

Took my niece and nephew to this place a couple of times now. I’ve now brought my adult friends here now bc of a trip meant to entertain children. This place is incredible for both adults and kids! Wildly entertaining and confusing with some of the exhibits they have. Puzzles, illusions, and everything are unbelievably interactive and overall just an incredible time! This time hannah came over and gave helpful tips to my niece and nephew and even explained to capture some of the fun videos and pictures we took!! Absolutely coming back, never gets old.
