Best time
Visit on weekday mornings or avoid peak times to fully appreciate the illusions. Many displays work best when you can have them to yourself for a minute to experience the optical tricks properly.
Visitor tip
Bring a camera or smartphone for photo opportunities at the illusion displays. The interactive photo-worthy exhibits like the infinity room and 3D rooms are popular highlights.
Visitor tip
Bring children ages 5+ for the best experience—the mind-bending illusions and interactive puzzles appeal to kids, though younger visitors may find the museum too small and pricey relative to content.
