    As the name suggests it is the Curious Corner only. Very nice place to have fun and pictures. Nicely maintained and decorated. This is the perfect place for all class of age groups. The pictures taken here have a lot of fun on your face. A must visit place.

    Very cool!! From the optical illusion photos to puzzles to unlock your next experience to the very friendly staff. I’m been to a similar place in Dubai, but I would say there’s more to do here and more twists to the plot which make it an overall better experience. Highly recommended place to visit when in Mauritius.

    Was a very nice experience.. although maybe it would be nice to have some activities , and also some things that change from time to time so that it can be visited more than once..

    The place is full of illusions and you get spectacular pictures. The people working there are so friendly and provided us with fun but challenging games that we had to solve. The children will also love it there.

    Great place to take the kids with trickery around every corner. Your mind will be tested. We enjoyed the maze of mirrors and its a great place to take some pictures.

  • 5/5 Jurina C. 1 year ago on Google

    Love this place. Went there twice and both times were fun. Would recommend

  • 4/5 Sujala A. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice place. However you need to see the photos available on Google before you go there to get an idea of what all photos you can click. You need to be creative and think of various poses yourself to make the photos interesting. There is little help available, however they need to attend to various other visitors at the same time.

    Never been to anything like this before. The guides were great and the activities are too. We took our 5 year who really enjoyed it. A must visit.

  • 4/5 Razi Ul Hasan A. 9 months ago on Google
    Curious Chamarel is located near Seven Colored Earth, is a good place to have fun with illusion and puzzle. Other than blue lagoons and natural beauties this a is one of the top attractions of Mauritius. They have the upside down room, the mirror maze the ames room , the laser music room and many more. Though compared to such places in locations in the world, their offerings are limited. Yet definitely a must visit place while you are in Mauritius.

    - I came here for one day to work but seeing all those peole who came here I can only say that it is really fun here...and the illusions seem so true in the pictures 📸

    I visited Curious Chamarel and the Upside House recently and have mixed feelings about both attractions. Starting with Curious Chamarel, I found it to be quite underwhelming. The advertised natural wonders didn't live up to the hype. The Chamarel Waterfall was beautiful, but the Seven Colored Earths were much smaller and less impressive than expected. The entry fee seemed steep for what was on offer. Additionally, the site was crowded, which detracted from the overall experience. As for the Upside House, it was a novelty, but not something I would highly recommend. The concept was interesting, but the execution fell short. The upside-down rooms were disorienting, and the overall attraction felt a bit gimmicky. It didn't provide much educational or entertainment value. In summary, Curious Chamarel and the Upside House left me feeling a bit disappointed, and I wouldn't consider them must-visit attractions. There are other more worthwhile places to explore in the area.

    Fun couple of hours here, nice thing to do on a rainy day 🌧 Kids enjoyed the illusions but alot of things were "coming soon" The maze of mirrors was great craic! I'd recommend if you're in the area, takes about 2 hours to complete.

    Super boring and a total waste of time when visited the place during the school vacation with kids.

  • 4/5 Aran H. 4 years ago on Google
    Pretty fun stop if in the area. I think it is as bit pricey for what it is but a couple of the illusions so turn out pretty good in photos. Definitely fun if you have kids. We spent about 90 minutes here and enjoyed it.
