Pro tips to help you make a pick

For the best photos without other tourists in your shot, book the first morning slot (10am) or a late evening slot. Mid-afternoons, especially on weekends, are high-traffic times where you may have to queue for individual exhibits.

Tickets are sold with specific entry windows. Arriving late may result in a shorter visit or, during peak capacity, a denied entry. Aim to arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled slot.

Skip-the-line access is generally standard for pre-booked tickets. Have your mobile QR code ready before you reach the front of the queue.

Did you know?

World of Illusion Dublin includes rooms based on real psychological and perception principles used in neuroscience and visual science experiments.

One room creates a “gravity-defying” staircase where balls roll uphill using optical trickery.

Many illusions are built so that they only work from certain angles — making photos from the right spot essential.

Some exhibits were designed by illusion artists inspired by classic 19th-century perceptual studies.

Why visit World of Illusion?

Over 70 interactive exhibits

Explore a vast array of illusions, from gravity-defying rooms to infinity mirror tunnels and a giant kaleidoscope, ensuring there’s something to amaze everyone.

Immersive optical illusions

Step into themed rooms and experience mind-bending visual tricks that challenge your perception and make for unforgettable photos.

Hands-on puzzles and challenges

Engage with interactive puzzles designed to stimulate both logic and creativity, making learning fun for all ages.

Cutting-edge hologram gallery

With headout i got a discount ticket from the main website. The Guinness Storehouse is really good, interactive and structured. Spent 2h and learnt a lot from the Harp beer... The Gravity bar was packed but the view is simply amazing and you can drink one free Guinness, Guinness 0% or Hop 13 lager. All the staff were friendly and helpful. And for once, the facility is 100% accessible to wheelchair. The mapping videos and the set up for each part of the visit are beautifully done.

When entering we were perfectly greeted by the staff who was not only nice but tried to keep things flowing as best as possible. After they send us on our way in which they delivered the perfect explanation on what separates them from the other brands that make stout Guinness. On the third level they surprised us with a tasting of the brand which was nice and good to see, and in the same level they had a bar with music and live performances which were great to see. After doing all that you would say the expierence would already be complete but they completely surprised us with the amazing view on top of the bar and the stout or was also wonderful to do and have a great memory on the experience. To round it off I would say as I great Guinness fan myself they have they have the perfect items in the gift shop to suprise you and make you want to buy it all. Overall 10/10 experience!

I recently visited the EPIC museum while on my travels to Ireland. I had a fantastic visit. I would highly recommend visiting EPIC. This was by far the best museum I have ever been to.

The experience was great. There was only myself and my husband on our tour. We got to take our drinks from the bar on the tour which was great! The first section of the tour was a bit strange. But it picked up in the second and third rooms. The tasting at the end was lovely! Trying various whiskeys and discussing their taste. Good experience!
