Pro tips to help you make a pick

Bring a camera or smartphone—many exhibits are designed for interactive photos and playful selfies.

If you’re visiting with kids, encourage them to try every hands-on puzzle and illusion for the full experience.

Some exhibits, like the Vortex Tunnel and Tilted Room, may cause dizziness—hold the railings and take your time if needed.

Ask the friendly staff for help with group photos or to explain the science behind the illusions.

Wear comfortable shoes, as you’ll be standing and moving between exhibits throughout your visit.
