The collection of illusions - both visual and sensory is classic with some really interesting artefacts. The stuff are extremely friendly and helpful, especially in helping us taking pictures from the right angle. Great for families with kids. Expect a lot of fun and laugh.

The visit to the museum of illusion was a fantastic experience.The soma cube puzzle and illusions were food for the brain. What I liked the most was the vortex tunnel. The symmetry room and reverse room were equally mind blowing. All these made our day unforgettable.

I visited the Museum of Illusions yesterday and had an absolutely wonderful time! The experience was fun, interactive, and surprisingly mind-bending — every corner had something new to explore and puzzle over. From optical illusions to perspective-changing rooms, it was both entertaining and a little educational too. The staff were friendly and helped capture some great photos (trust me, you’ll want to take plenty!). It’s a perfect spot to visit with friends, family, or even solo if you enjoy creative experiences. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something different and playful — a place where science meets imagination!

    • Understand about vision and perception as you see numerous interactive and attractive exhibits created for the very purpose of confusing the mind!

    • Use your gifted cognitive abilities through numerous perplexing puzzles and games.

    • Fun Fact: With over 60 different exhibits, this museum is home to the largest collection of optical illusions and immersive installations in the world.

    Good but not that great. Not so worth compared to the tkt price. With the experience, I feel a tkt price of 30 dhms. per person should be ok.

Optical illusions and holographs abound in the museum, and nothing is as simple as it looks at first glance.

The Vortex tunnel with its lighting and illusions will make you dizzy and almost impossible for you to take a step forward! In the Chair Illusion room, you will understand how much the perceived size of an object is influenced by its surroundings.
