A bit expensive for the set up but overall as advertised.

4.00It was a fun museum, the staff was relatively helpful. But honestly if you are going to charge $35 per adult, I don’t want to be sandwiched between groups going through the experiences. The group in front of us was 2 adults and 6 kids. We were 4 adults and 4 kids and behind us was a couple and one child. We were all trying to read and do the difference stages all on top of each other. It felt like a lot of hurry up to wait. Otherwise it was as advertised; a wide variety of illusions/tricks of the eye. If you are into this sort of thing you will be familiar with most of what is presented. Some of the illusions need a little touch up, peeling images and dented mirrors impact the appearance of illusions. Fun for my kids, so a 4.
Make this a must see
