5 out of 5 starsScotty F10/06/2026Was an interesting place to visit. I took my parents there to kill a few hours. Was fun. But what made the whole experience much better were the staff. Especially a guy who's name began with P (sorry I can't remember)! He came round with us to suggest the best ways to use each piece of equipment to get the most out of it. He also took plenty of photos for us.
Thank you so much 😍 wouldn't have been the same without you.

02/06/2026Well laid out and surprisingly engaging gallery of illusions - both simple puzzles on posters and room sized games. Photo opportunities are plentiful. The staff are lovely and supportive, happy to help take pictures or show you how illusions are best viewed. Atif gave us a lot of help today and was genuinely lovely. Its in a great location and was very fun.Read moreRead less
Jumbella21/05/2026I had a wonderful time at the Museum of Illusions today. It was so much fun, full of crazy and mind-bending illusions with amazing sights throughout. A very cool place to visit.
I’m also really glad I was able to catch the names of some of the fantastic staff members I mainly interacted with — apologies to the others who were equally amazing but whose names I didn’t get. Your recruitment and selection process must be top notch because you have some of the loveliest, most helpful, and enthusiastic staff. Thank you so much to Parth, Ishika, and Tryin — you really made my day brilliant.
I came on my own and was still able to fully enjoy all of the exhibits because staff are always on hand to guide you, explain the illusions, and even take photos for you. I definitely took full advantage of all the crazy illusions!
I arrived on a weekday morning, so there were no queues at all, which made the experience even better. I also liked the informative placards explaining how the illusions worked. I was there for about 80 minutes and honestly could have stayed longer (especially to try and master the game room), but I eventually had to leave because I was getting hungry.
I would definitely recommend visiting. My favourite illusion was the Number 10 Downing Street door!Read moreRead less
Leslie Chester19/05/2026I visited today and had a very pleasant time, thanks largely to the staff. The ticket office and security staff were very welcoming and I must single out Krishma and Khadija who went far beyond the call of duty in helping me navigate the site (I am 75) and helped with photography and video. Their help was VERY much appreciated. The attraction is fairly similar to the Paradox Museum; if you liked that, you'll love thisRead moreRead less

Chanel Whilby08/05/2026Our experience of the Museum today was good from beginning to end. There was a staff member at each point willing to take pictures when and if required, they were also happy to help with useful information especially the lady at the exhibits at the start.
In the gift shop the security guard was extremely helpful and friendly as well as Stella behind the till willing to help my son with his purchase which is over the moon about.
Will definitely visit again soon. One of my favourite experiences this year so far.Read moreRead less
