    We pre bought our tickets online and we were a group of 3. It was so much fun. Staff was all really nice! Alonzo was very helpful in assisting us with pictures. And Kyle was also pretty cool in explaining it all out to us. They have a good selection of souvenirs to shop from. Restrooms are available.

    Awesome! Plan on spending an hour and taking a lot of pictures. The illusions are awesome we had a lot of fun. The staff walks around and takes the pictures for you with your phone which is so awesome, and they help you line up your illusion so that it's perfect. Go early and beat the crowd. Weekdays were a perfect time for us. Enjoy!

    Really cool and fun place. If you like illusions and being wowed this is a cool place. Fun for adults and kids. Lots of different things to do and see. Workers were great with helping to understand how different objects and stations worked. They were so willing to take pictures if needed. Very cool place to see.

    My whole family had a blast! I was a little concerned when reading the reviews about it not being very large or not worth the money, but I completely disagree. We are a family with five kids ranging from 6 to 16 and they all had a great time. We spent about 2 hours walking through. There are so many picture opportunities. The staff was super nice & helpful. Definitely worth the visit.

    Cool place. Great visuals here. Tales about 1 hour to go through the museum. Be sure to read the plaques about each illusion so you understand what you should be seeing. What out for the rotating tunnel. Many of the illusions you have probably seen bit there are some new ones that are really cool. Enjoy, I highly recommend a visit to thus place.

    This place is a lot of fun. It's kind of hard with just two people because you need a third to take photos. My husband and I went and had fun, but got through the whole place in an hour. I suggest going with more people and engaging into each thing as a group.

    This place is 5 stars! It is a smaller museum but so interactive and fascinating. We spent an hour exactly. The staff were the absolute friendliest and everything is clearly labeled for you to enjoy! I pray they expand more and more. We will be back!

    Fun little place. It’s tiny! It should be called the house of illusion! It’s fun though, the kids had a blast! Bought the tickets in advance online so didn’t wait and it pretty straightforward. You have icons on the ground and the walls where you can snap pictures for the perfect vantage point to see the illusion at its best

    This place wasn't that bad. I thought it was bigger than it was, but it was definitely interesting for at least a one time visit. We went for my birthday and we enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and helpful with showing us where to stand so we could get the best photos. They also offered to take our photo to make sure we all were in the pic to get the best lean lol photo.

    The family and I visited this museum just before school started. It is very unique and fun for the whole family. There were puzzles, games and hands on attractions. Even a small gift shop. Being downtown we had to park a couple of blocks away and walk so plan accordingly. My wife had bought our tickets online so there was no wait for us. I did hear other groups being told an hour or more. Fun and interesting place the family will enjoy.

    Nice places to enjoy the amazing illusions which are curated in museum. The recent experience was really good with Halloween theme makes more intriguing. The illusions showcased are really nice but if it can be increased would be great. Curator Genesis and others helped to make the experience memorable with crazy pictures taken within museum giving illusions of falling from big chair, making Michal Jackson move, climbing on wall like spider-man or walking through rotating tunnel.

    Took my little brother over spring break. There are a lot of mind-blowing puzzles and illusions to entertain kids and adults for a few hours. Definitely recommend buying tickets online, there were a few folks who came in for a walk-in but were turned away as they were fully booked for the day. They have a few aides roaming around to help you understand what you're seeing or supposed to see and also to help take pictures of you and your party, TKAIA was so sweet and helpful, we kept coming back to her to ask to explain a few things that we didn't really understand.

    We were looking for a last minute outing & came upon this fun museum. We booked our tickets online for same day event passes with no problems. We went on a packed Sunday & managed to get through all of the exhibits within an hour. The staff were extremely friendly & volunteered to take our pictures. A very unique, interactive experience that was surprisingly enjoyable!

    Very fun and interesting place! An exciting place to capture some interesting illusion effects! All the staffs were very friendly and happy to help with anything we needed! I felt the admission fee was a little expensive given that the place is pretty small, but definitely worth visiting once.

    Staff was friendly and helpful. They helped us to see the illusions when we didn't see it and take pictures. It was very interactive and everyone is encouraged to touch and participate. It was fun for our whole group from 6-40. They said most people stay 45 min we were there for an hour and a half and could have stayed longer. We'll worth the time and money!!!

    Too small place like a house may be hard to be considered as a museum! If the visitors are charged less than $5.00, then it worth it for young people to visit this so-called museum! The cost of maintenance of this museum is too low; therefore, the ticket price should not be that high! Also, some tricks do not work, and should be revised. The floor in two rooms are steep, please be careful when you go inside.

    A very fun study of illusion and how the body perceives things. The whole family found it very entertaining. The staff was also very nice and rotated through giving tips on how to beat experience the illusions. A great way to spend an hour with the family!

    Highly enjoyable. Maybe a bit old for my 2 year old but he still enjoyed himself. You can take your time or see most everything in about 30 minutes. Excellent photo opportunities.

    The whole experience was amazing and fun, and our guide Jake was awesome. My wife and adult daughter had a great time!

  • 3/5 Ronnie B. 8 months ago on Google
    This is definitely a place for families with children, but single adults can enjoy what the museum has to offer. This was our date day, so babe purchased our tickets for a full day of Illusions. Parking was $13.00, which seemed a little steep if you asked me. Then again, it is downtown Dallas where most things that are MID are overpriced. All in all, the museum was cool. Would I do it again? Nope, but I can say I have experienced it.

    I took my 4 year old daughter and even she had a good time. It's a good 45 min must stop if you're in town. They had different activities and puzzles. The art was interactive. The front staff (ebony) was very nice and they even offered to take some of our pics with the exhibits.

  • 4/5 Nicholas M. 6 months ago on Google
    Very cool experience! Smaller than initially anticipated. When we originally googled the museum we thought it would be a larger building but it was a smaller single floor exhibit, albeit with some very fun illusions and a great place for of photos! We spent about an hour there on a week night and it wasn't too crowded at all. It was totally worth it and would definitely recommend if you're staying or visiting the area.

    Hidden little gem. Interactive experience. I thought we would be there for about an hour, but it ended up almost 3 hours. We had a fun time together figuring out how the illusions worked & solving puzzles!

  • 4/5 Stefon D. S. 8 months ago on Google
    This is a very cool place to visit. They have many different illusions set up. Very enjoyable. Not too many. Would be better to go as a group than 1 or 2 people so you can take photos.

    Had a great time! It was 107F that day, and me and my buddy were outside walking to this location. We were very hot, but Jake was spectacular! ✨ He offered a bunch of help, and got us water multiple times! He was very respectful and understanding, fantastic guy! The experience was nice, and we got great photos! 💖

  • 5/5 Joy P. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was so cool! It’s like a hidden gem in Dallas. We didn’t know quite what to expect but it was so interactive. We loved all the cool photo opportunities too! Would definitely recommend going and we would do it again too!

  • 4/5 V F. 1 year ago on Google
    The museum was smaller than we expecting. However, I would say this attraction is more appropriate for teens and adults. If you have little ones (i.e 2-7 age group) they aren’t very many stations or activities for them. The staff was extremely helpful with taking photos and helping in setting up puzzles. Very kind and approachable. We went on a Saturday around 4pm, and we’re able to spend about 2 hours at the museum.

  • 4/5 Milly Serrano F. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is really nice. It's small but you can really enjoy each of the illusions if you give each one the time necessary to enjoy. Trying the puzzles is also a fun challenge and there are several fun photo opportunities. Warning: The spinning tunnel can cause vertigo if you spend too much time in it. Believe me.

    Went here after the Aquarium because it was in walking distance and we really had a good time acting silly. Its not a large place but there is enough to do in there. Its some nice stuff in there to look at and interact with if you understand it. It wasn't crowded so there was space to do everything

    Super fun spot for a quick family outing. Took my teenagers there last weekend and they had a blast! We were there for about an hour, and then headed over to AT&T Discovery center. I did think the tickets were a bit pricy, but found a discount code.
