While the museum isn’t very large, it is absolutely packed with things to see and tons of fun photo opportunities. It was an amazing addition to our day and the perfect length, taking about an hour and a half to fully enjoy without feeling rushed. Andrea was incredible; so kind, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable. She explained everything in such great detail and truly elevated the entire experience. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed this spot a lot! Took 1.5 hours to thoroughly go through the museum and take in the exhibits. I would recommend doing this before a large meal, as some of the illusions can leave you feeling uneasy. The staff were super friendly and encouraged us to take our time and enjoy the moment.

The Museum of Illusions offers an intriguing visual, sensory, and educational experience, combining science, art, and fun. It's designed to trick your eyes and challenge your brain's perception of the world.

Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars

Address: 77 8th Ave, New York, NY 10014 (Located in the Chelsea/West Village area of Manhattan)

Approximate Visit Time: 60–90 minutes

Key Exhibits and Experience
The museum features over 50 hands-on exhibits and installations that encourage visitors to interact and become part of the illusion. Highlights include:

Ames Room: A classic illusion where a person standing in one corner appears to grow or shrink dramatically when moving to another.

Vortex Tunnel: A cylindrical walkway with spinning lights that makes you feel dizzy and disoriented, even though the bridge itself is flat and stable.

Infinity Room: A mirrored room that creates the visual effect of an endless, sprawling space.

Tilted Room: A room built on an incline that completely messes with your sense of gravity and balance.

Holograms and Optical Illusions: A collection of images and displays that play tricks on your vision and perception.

The experience is perfect for families, friends, or anyone looking for a fun, photo-heavy outing. Staff members are often available to help visitors get the best possible photos in the trickier installations.

Hours of Operation
The museum is open daily. The general hours are:

Monday – Thursday: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM

Friday – Sunday: 10:00 AM – 11:00 PM
