This place is GREAT! I already want to go back because I have so many more photo ideas. The museum is small, but take your time to seek out & explore each exhibit. Look through the photos other visitors have posted so you have an idea of what to expect and photos you want to capture. Purchase your tickets in advance so you’re sure to get in. Oh, and close your eyes when you go through the “rotating” tunnel.😉 The gift soooo at the end has epic postcards if you like mailing stuff. Worth the visit, we really had fun.

Illusions are explained well. Staff is available to help understand and take pictures. Area/space is SUPER small in general. The price is high for the hour it takes to complete the tour. However, the price is worth the fun and memories made!

Decent way to kill an hour and entertain the kids....but they key portion of this review is going to the staff. The staff is incredibly friendly. From asking if we need pictures to explaining each and every exhibit. Absolutely stellar! I recommend getting tickets in advance so you don't have to wait in line.

While this is small, and I'm not quite sure worth $26 a person, it was a lot of fun! Beware of the vortex if you get queasy easy haha! Pay attention to the stickers on the floor that tell you where to stand to take the picture and to be in the best spot to be in the picture to get the right effect. Bring an extra person to take your photos. The employees were happy to indulge us a few times taking our pictures but I can see why they may not always be able to do so.

Was in Austin visiting and really wanted to stop here. Facebook suggested it on my feed! It was Halloween so fun! So we went! The employees were down right amazing 👏!!!! Was super friendly and engaged with all customers! Very hyped vibe loved it! I was there on a date and had a blast! This is a great place to go on a date to have fun or with your kids and family! The two ladies at the front I've forgotten their names (my fault not for lack on anything on their part) were awesome in full costume and greeted us and even helped us get tickets and was there if needed with the kiosk but she did help us in a friendly way! The staff is very helpful and even offered to take pictures for us! Awesome place!!! The vortex try the vortex!!!
