💬 What Visitors Say
- Plan to spend several hours exploring — the museum is much larger than it appears from the outside with over 35,000 exhibits, hidden rooms, and secret passages that reward thorough exploration.
- Look for hidden doorways and optical illusions throughout the exhibits — what appears to be a picture or wall may actually be a passageway to another area, making exploration part of the interactive experience.
- Avoid the ball pit secret tunnel if visiting with young children due to safety concerns — visitors can get stuck or smothered by the large number of balls, and the tunnel leads to isolated areas behind hidden doors.
- This attraction appeals to adults as much as children — two 30-something year old visitors report having genuine fun with the unique art collection and interactive elements, making it worth visiting even without kids.
- Budget for admission costs upfront — while the experience offers hours of exploration, reviewers note the pricing is on the higher side, though the extensive exhibits provide significant value for the time spent.
