💬 What Visitors Say

💬Buy tickets online in advance to skip lines, as the museum gets crowded quickly. Staff can also help you get discounts when booking online at the front desk.
🕐Visit on a weekday (like Wednesday) to avoid crowds and have more time to interact with each exhibit multiple times. This allows you to fully immerse yourself in all the illusions.
💬Plan to spend at least 90 minutes at the museum. The interactive exhibits like the vortex tunnel, infinity mirrors, and perspective rooms are designed to be explored thoroughly and revisited.
💡The staff are knowledgeable and available to help you take perfect photos at designated photo spots throughout the museum. Ask them for guidance on getting the best shots in exhibits like the optical illusion chair and giant/small room.
💡Bring a friend or visit as a couple/group rather than solo—the hands-on interactive exhibits are more enjoyable and engaging when you have someone to share the experience and take photos with.
