FAQ

A typical visit to our museum lasts at least 1 hour. Most visitors are here for between one and one and a half hours; this depends on the pace you set. Allowing time for the explanations at the start and the information cards in the museum you’ll need an hour or more to fully experience and understand all the illusions. Also be sure to get assistance from one of our Illusion Specialists! Along with illusions we also have brain teaser games, which can take from 30 minutes to an hour.
