💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Plan 1-2 hours for your visit depending on how much time you spend solving puzzles and taking photos in each room. Every room offers a unique experience, so pace yourself rather than rushing through.
  • 💡Take advantage of the Arizona Boardwalk location with nearby amenities—grab coffee, ice cream, or lunch before or after your museum visit to maximize your time in the area. The outdoor boardwalk has shops and a dinosaur exhibit worth exploring.
  • 💡Ask staff members for assistance with creating illusions and posing for photos—employees like Ivana are known for helping visitors capture great shots and explaining how the illusions work, enhancing your understanding and photo opportunities.
  • 💡Book a pre-scheduled guided tour if visiting with a group or for a field trip to get more value from your experience and gain deeper insights into how the illusions are created.
  • 💡Ask about senior discounts and other special pricing when purchasing tickets—multiple visitors have noted the museum is 'surprisingly inexpensive,' and discounts like senior rates can provide additional savings.
